V-Club AB

V-Club (aka Virtual Club, or I don't belong to a club) Registration

If you are not registering for any particular club in Alberta, but want to register for Pickleball Alberta, you've come to the right place.  Keep on reading and filling out the form below.


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.
