What’s My Rating?

One of the biggest question players have (or argue with other players about!) is their Rating. You have probably heard, ‘I’m a 4.5’ or ‘You’re not a 4.5!’, around your local pickleball court.

The truth is, pickleball has a player rating system and it does follow some guidelines, but overall it can be a bit subjective.

2022/23 SCPC Annual General Meeting was Held

on September 20th 2022 at Kerry Park

The meeting was called to order at 5:05 by President Laurie Vasey with 29 members in attendance. In summary:

The bank balance at the date of the AGM was $376 with no expenditure commitments for the balance of the 2022/23 fiscal year ending on March 31, 2023.
Survey sent to all members on proposed membership fee for 2023 has produced inconclusive results with: 32% in favor of a $10 fee, 23% in favor of a $20 fee and 43% in favor of a $30 fee. It was decided that the new Directors of the Board would investigate this further and decide how best to determine the new membership fee for 2023/24 fiscal year.

KERRY PARK COURTS UPDATE - JULY 6, 2022

The following email was received from Darcy Kulai, Sport Programmer at Kerry Park. If you want the most current information from the CVRD you should contact Darcy directly and have your name added to his contact list. If you have questions about Kerry Park court usage Darcy is the best point of contact.

"Hello pickleball enthusiasts, you may have already heard but the new outdoor pickleball courts behind Kerry Park Rec are open for use. For more info on usage and booking please visit https://www.cvrd.ca/3363/South-Cowichan-Outdoor-Pickleball-Comple but basically it boils down to this: there are 6 courts and courts 1-4 can be reserved online for $5 for 2 hours. Courts 5-6 cannot be reserved and are always on a first come first serve basis. If courts 1-4 are not in use/reserved they are also available on a first come first serve basis.

In terms of indoor drop-in we will continue with the Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat 9:30 am – 12:00 pm as long as there is interest but if numbers drop off due to everyone wanting to play outside we may need to revisit. I will keep you all posted if any changes are made.

Please let me know if you have any questions,
