The second annual Arena Bowl Pickleball Challenge is set to go on the nine courts at the Gibsons Community Centre on June 6 and 7. This event is expected to be one of the largest pickleball tournaments in the province with more than 80 teams and 100 players competing in several categories, from novice to advanced. The Arena Bowl is a co-sponsored event by the Sunshine Coast Regional District 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 May to September, the game can be played at both the Gibsons and Sechelt arenas. New players are always welcome.
