Pickleball in South Surrey, BC

This past Friday I was invited to come out to a new pickleball group in South Surrey, BC. They meet religiously every Friday morning 9-11 am, and 7-9pm at Peace Portal Church. Most of the members are graduates of Luba Zhekovskaya's pickleball instruction at South Surrey rec. center. Ray, the organizer of the group said that the group is for those that are wanting to hone their beginning pickleball skills in a smaller environment. I stayed for both sessions, and got a chance to play some games, give instruction, and help with paddle selection. In the evening session,  Ray had the opportunity to introduce pickleball to a singles group of 15 people that were meeting at the church. It's great to see pickleball sites like these with great facilities, great teaching, and a welcome attitude.
