Pickleball tsunami

The 3rd annual “Arena Bowl Pickleball Challenge” is set to go on the nine courts at the Gibsons Community Centre on June 4 and 5.  This event is now one of the largest pickleball tournaments in the province, and this year more than a 100 doubles teams will compete in several categories, from novice to advanced. The Arena Bowl is a co-sponsored event by the SCRD and the Sunshine Coast Pickleball Association. Spectators are encouraged to come and watch the tournament, free of charge.
Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in North America and the Coast is at the forefront of the tsunami. From April to September, the game can be played at both the Gibsons and Sechelt arenas. New players are always welcome. Information on the game and playing times at the arenas can be found at www.sunshinecoastpickleball.org/.
