Popularity of Pickleball has hit the Comox Valley

COMOX VALLEY RECORD: The popularity of pickleball has hit the Comox Valley with a huge wave of players swamping the limited number of outdoor courts and indoor facilities.

In 2015, a group of dedicated players recognized the spark that had been ignited, creating the Comox Valley Pickleball Association ("CVPA") with over 425 members today. The association’s focus is inclusivity for all ages and levels of play, and to support the rapid growth of pickleball locally.

The CVPA Training Academy has five certified instructors providing complimentary training, organized group clinics, fun socials and competitive tournaments. The executive is razor focused on ensuring that pickleball is at the forefront of all recreation planning conducted by the municipalities and regional districts in the Comox Valley. The big dream is to create an indoor pickleball facility to help meet the significant need for additional indoor and outdoor courts.
