PickleballBC Membership Reaches 13,000 Members

30/12/2022

 
PickleballBC is pleased to announce that membership just hit the major milestone of 13,000 members. Congratulations to Graeme Dobinson of the Vancouver Pickleball Association who is member #13000, and his wife Tracy is #13001. This is quite an achievement (if we say so ourselves) given that PickleballBC was approximately 8,600 members in December 2021, and as of the last published stats we are approximately 30% of Pickleball Canada's membership in total.  

A couple of relevant data points (some from the 2022 Pickleball Canada survey) to put our membership number in context:
  1. 1 million Canadian households played pickleball in 2021 representing a 30% year-over-year annual growth rate - 2022 numbers not available yet, but growth seems to be excelerating 
  2. Fastest growing age group are the 18 to 34 year olds
  3. Twice the number of Canadians as a percentage play pickleball vs. USA players
  4. We are entering what many experts call pickleball's "second stage of growth" - two times more percentage growth in the next 3 years than in the past
  5. BC represents 13.22% of Canada's population, but as noted above, approximately 30% of Pickleball Canada's membership
Thank you to all our  82+ BC associated clubs and associations, and to all of our now 13,000 members for a great 2022. Our Board of Directors and all of us at PickleballBC wish you a safe and wonderful holiday season as we look forward to a pickleball prosperous 2023!
