New Players to Pickleball

2) Nanaimo Pickleball Club Membership – After purchasing your Pickleball Canada membership you can now purchase your Nanaimo Pickleball Club membership on Court Reserve.
To do this, click on the following link - Memberships and select Pick A Membership from the Menu. Complete and submit the membership application.
3) Pickleball Canada Membership - If not already a member, you must purchase a Pickleball Canada membership. Click on the following link to go to the Nanaimo Pickleball Club page on the Pickleball Canada Website.
Complete the application form and pay the Pickleball Canada and Pickleball BC membership fees. Please note, that if you are a 2025 Pickleball Canada member through another Club you still need to join the Nanaimo Pickleball Club on this page. When you get to the payment section you will not be charged for your membership if it is valid for 2025. Your membership will now be associated with the Nanaimo Club as well as any other Clubs you may have joined through the Pickleball Canada Website. As this is a requirement to be a Club member, your Club membership will not be active until you have renewed your Pickleball Canada membership.
Your membership will be approved once it is reviewed by a member of our Executive to ensure you have enrolled in Pickleball Canada and have experience playing pickleball.
If you have not played pickleball before then you are required to take the Introduction to Pickleball that is periodically offered by the Club. The sessions are offered based on the demand from our members but typically require at least 3 members to make it viable. For more information as to when the next session will be offered or about lessons from external coaches, please contact the Club at nanaimopickleball@gmail.com
