West Kelowna Pickleball Club

Thank you for joining the West Kelowna Pickleball Club. Please complete the registration form below. You can register just yourself.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Here are a few HELPFUL HINTS for completing the form.

Enter your current PCO Membership Number. If you are not sure what it is, try using the lookup function first and see if the system finds you. Make sure you select the province your membership has been with as the lookup function is province specific. If you say you are a new member and you are already a member the system will create a duplicate account, which we don't wish to see, so if you know you are a PCO member and the system can't find you, contact the Registrar at wkpc.members@gmail.com before proceeding.

You may be able to register for more than one Membership Option, depending on the time of year. If multiple Membership Options are available, you may register for one or more options, such as Outdoor, Indoor Fall, Indoor Winter, etc.

Please note that you can opt out of receiving emails, though we do recommend you choose to receive them. If you opt out, you will not receive updates about changes in schedules, restrictions, activities or other important information.
