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.

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 & 8-10pm with some days playing 2-4pm, 5-7pm & 7-9pm . We also play weekends at Greystone School, Spruce Grove. For the summer of 2024 we are playing at the Glenn Hall Arena from 9:30am to 11:30am Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings. We will resume our play at the Heritage Park Pavillion early July 2024.

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.

On weekdays, games will be held at the Heritage Park Pavilion in Stony Plain, with weekend games at Greystone School in Spruce Grove.

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 Saturdays and Sundays at a school in Spruce Grove.

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!
