Lessons - Pilot Program is Underway!

We're excited to launch our Lessons Pilot Program, running now through the end of the season.

Highlights:

  • Certified instructors (NCCP & IPTPA)

  • By Members, for Members

  • Free Club court bookings through Court Reserve

  • Private and semi-private lesson options

Our instructors include Peter and Jean Llewellyn, Gord Best, Jacqueline Mann, Gail Reiss, Maggie Verity, Gary Cooper, Rob Rennie. Click here to meet the Instructors and how to book your lesson!

NOTE: Members wishing to take lessons with instructors outside the Club Lesson Program are asked to book the Town of Cochrane public courts. 4 courts are bookable M-F from 9-5. 4 courts are always available for public play. Paddle protocols are in effect if there is anyone waiting in the alley to play. Let's ensure we are good pickleball citizens!

A Few Reminders - Code of Conduct, Gates and Gum!

Everyone is responsible for a safe and inclusive Club. Click here to refresh on the Code of Conduct.

Please take care of the gates. Open and close them gently, and make sure they are secure when entering or leaving the courts so they are not bashed around by the wind. DO NOT force gates or kick them.

COURT 5 has re-opened

Please email: cochranepickleballclub@gmail.com if a gate is sticking or needs repair.

Please refrain from chewing GUM on the courts. Not only is it gross to step into or touch on a gate or fence it is very difficult to remove and can damage the playing surface. Please dispose of your gum in the receptacles provided before stepping onto the court.

Engage with Club Members on Facebook

Thanks to Judy Kircher for her work on our new FB page. Lots of work has gone into refreshing our look and feel! What's great is that members who have joined the group can now also post Pickleball Club related stuff! Check out all of the Charity Classic tournament photos posted recently!

Please be reminded that Club members are NOT allowed to bring guests onto Club Courts for a myriad of reasons including insurance coverage. This also means, that no public members can be invited to "fill in" for Club scheduled events. We understand this can be frustrating and are working to find a sustainable solution!

Thank you for your patience as we work to improve Club operations and member experience!
