This network is open to all players who want to play or learn to play pickleball. As a network member, you can participate in events such as lessons, meet-ups, round-robin play, pickleball ladders, leagues and tournaments. Some events have restrictions/limitations.

How to get the most out of the network. Please read our "Places to Play" post on the news link. https://www.globalpickleball.network/network/news/viewNewsItem/3499-richmond-hill-pickleball/582-pickleball-in-richmond-hill-where-can-you-play


We encourage you to join one of the groups based on your skill level and start participating in the events listed on our event link.

If you are new to the game, you should attend 2-3 learn to play sessions and then join novice group meet-ups/events. If you are new to pickleball, join the "Learn-To-Play" group, and we will send you advance notice of "Learn To Play" sessions. All other players should join the skill level group specific to their skill level.

What is your skill level?

Beginner >>> 1.0 - 2.0
Novice >>> 2.0- 3.0
Intermediate >>> 3.0 - 4.0
Advance >>> 4.0 - 5.0
Expert >>> 5.0 - 5.5
Pro >>> 5.5+


The network is run by a team of volunteers. The goal of this network is to grow the sport of Pickleball by offering "learn to play" lessons, hosting events, leagues and ladders. Pickleball is more than just a game! It gets you active, you meet new friends, and it brings people together, creating a stronger sense of community. It is changing lives, while promoting health and wellness in our community.

If you do not know your skill Level, please review our skill level guide using this link.

Please make sure your skill level is appropriate for the group you are joining. We must ensure fun, competitive play, and this requires us to ensure that you are in the appropriate group based on your playing skills. We communicate events specific to each group, if you do not join a group, you will not receive invites to events. To join a group, click on the "Groups" link on the main page.

Events
Indoor events (September -April) take place in community centres throughout Richmond Hill. There are drop-ins as well as specific skill level drop ins on Sunday's. We also have league play on Saturday at Rouge Woods community centre for skill levels under 3.0 and above 3.0. The sessions are capped at 30 players and they sellout quickly.

To participate, you must have an RH Active account and sign up directly with the city of Richmond Hill. See link below.
