Yesterday our matches and waitlist kids had an absolute blast out at Pinafore Park learning and playing pickleball with the help of amazing instructors from The Court House ☀️

It was awesome seeing everyone trying something new, building confidence, staying active, and having so much fun together. Activities like these are such a great way for kids to connect, laugh, and make lasting memories together in the sunshine.

A huge thank you to the instructors for creating such a welcoming and energetic environment for our group. Safe to say this won’t be our last trip to the courts! 🎾

Our office will be closed for Victoria Day, Monday May 18th. We will be back under normal business hours on Tuesday. We apologize for any inconvenience, and wish you a happy long weekend! Enjoy the unofficial start of summer ☀️

Sometimes, the smallest moments can have the biggest impact.

A shared laugh. A quick check-in. Mentorship isn’t always about grand gestures. It’s about the little things that help a young person feel seen, supported, and valued over time. Even a small amount of time can go a long way in helping build confidence, trust, and connection.

Become a mentor today, and be part of something that can make a lasting difference. ✨
