We are super excited to announce that our club has been awarded the Club of the Year by Pickleball Alberta.

In attendance to accept this award in Red Deer at the awards banquet were:

Carey Clarke: Vice President

The Club of The Year is a club that has grown their membership and achieved great accomplishments that support the Pickleball Alberta values of fun, transparency, open-mindedness, inclusiveness, and promotes an active lifestyle. The club has strong programs including recreation play, competitive play, player development, junior development, safety program, along with others.

A special thank you goes out to all of our volunteers. We cannot move forward each and every day without you committing your time to our club.

And for all of our members, it is such a JOY to see you all on the courts, enjoying the game we have all come to love.

Stay tuned for a special event coming at the beginning of our FALL session to celebrate with this award.

See you on the courts.

Welcome to our returning players and to those who are joining us for the first time. As before, we will have both Junior and Adult play.

We generally play Monday to Thursday at Stony Plain Pavilion and our playtimes are 2-4pm, 6-8pm with some days playing 2-4pm, 5-7pm & 7-9pm . We also play Sundays at Spruce Grove Alliance Church.

On most days, there will be both Rated (proof of verified rating required) and Unrated/open play available, for those competitively-minded or not.

For those new to the game there will be Learn-to-Play Sessions for both Juniors and Adults.

YellowHead West

YHW is the operating entity of Yellowhead Pickleball Club, an Alberta-incorporated non-profit society and an affiliated club member of Alberta Pickleball and Pickleball Canada Organizations. The primary purpose of YHW is to develop more playing opportunities for local and regional players of all levels. Playing opportunities are most limited during our long winter and in the fall/spring shoulder seasons.

One solution to this a few years ago was partnering with the Town of Stony Plain in utilizing the town's Heritage Park Pavilion to dramatically increase the amount of weekday and evening playing opportunities. With seven dedicated courts, there is a plethora of opportunities now available to play days and evenings, Monday through Thursday. We also have the privilege to play on Sundays at Spruce Grove Alliance Church.

There is always lots of room for experienced or beginner players. Get active and enjoy the winter with a really fun and inexpensive activity! Details about learning to play pickleball (if you're a beginner) and the multi-step registration process can be found under the Programs menu item.

We sure hope you can come out and play with us whether you are a seasoned player or interested in becoming a new player in the fastest growing sport in the world!

I'm an experienced pickleball player who might want to join the YellowHead West Pickleball Club.
