May I still play pickleball? - December 22, 2021
Having reviewed the latest PHO Order, December 21, 2021 and in consideration of prior Orders, guidelines from viaSport and other related information - we see NO additional restrictions that apply to pickleball at this time.
If the gym or facility you wish to frequent allows pickleball play - please do so responsibly - masks when not on the court, physical distancing, limited players in your group, hand sanitizing, do not play if you are not feeling well, etc.
