Ramara Pickleball League

You can't buy happiness...but you CAN buy a Pickleball membership!

Pickleball has been a staple in Ramara for many year now and isn't going anywhere! We are pleased to be able to offer several time slots per week dedicated to pickleball play. Players in the league register for the season and sign up for court times a week in advance through the Online Pickleball Calendar  to book up to two times per week. The league runs indoors from September through to June.

What is pickleball you ask? Check out Pickleball Ontario for the history and rules of play. Still not sure you'll like playing in a league? Feel free to set up a time with recreation staff to watch league play and find out if pickleball is the right fit for you!
