The fourth annual Arena Bowl Pickleball Challenge is set to go on the nine courts at the Gibsons and Area Community Centre on June 3 and 4.
Sponsored by the Sunshine Coast Pickleball Association, this event is now one of the largest pickleball tournaments in the province, attracting many local and off-Coast participants. This year more than 100 doubles teams will compete in several categories, from novice to advanced. 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.
