Ponoka Picklers Registration

Please complete the registration pages below. If you have been a member of any pickleball club in the past, chances are you have already also been a member of Pickleball Canada (PCO). In this case, please use the "I am renewing my membership ..." option below, not the "I am new..." option. That way you will complete your form faster, keep your PCO number, and not create a duplicate membership. We are looking forward to seeing you on our courts.


If you have been a member of Pickleball Alberta (PA) or any affiliated club in the past, or if your club has just become affiliated with PA, you have a PCO membership number. Please look up that number, and do NOT press the "I am a new member" button. If you press "I am a new member" you will create a new PCO membership record, duplicating your membership record and causing other problems for you and administrators.

To join a second or subsequent club, lookup your current PCO number. Do NOT create a new member record to join a second club. Your single membership record can have several clubs tied to it.

To save time renewing, log in first. Then, when you lookup or enter your PCO number, your registration form will be populated with your membership details.


Pickleball Canada Registration

Our new registration system allows you to register at one time with your club, if you belong to one, your provincial or territorial sports organization (PTSO) and Pickleball Canada. If you belong to more than one club, you will only register with Pickleball Canada once! If you belong to more than one club and they are in different provinces/territories you will be required to join each of the PTSOs.
