Keeping It Cool While the Temps Climb
Summer’s in full swing, but the best rallies are still happening indoors, minus the sunburn, wind, and unpredictable bounces.
At Cross Court, we’re all about good games, great people, and keeping the fun flowing. Whether you’re working on your third shot, squeezing in a drop-in before patio time, or just here for the laughs between points, we’re glad to have you with us.
This community makes every match better and every game more fun. Thanks for bringing the energy, the sportsmanship, and the occasional questionable line call (we forgive you).
Here’s to a summer of crisp dinks, solid serves, and great company, see you on the courts!

New to Cross Court? Don’t Forget the Waiver!
All new players are required to sign a waiver before hitting the courts but don’t worry, it’s quick and completely paperless.
Just scan the QR code posted on the white box at the entrance, and you’re good to go!
Already signed it? You’re all set. Haven’t yet? Take 30 seconds before your next game, we promise it’s easier than learning how to score.
Thanks for helping us keep things safe, smooth, and stress-free!
CrossCourt Goes out West
The new Cross Court in beautiful British Columbia is officially ready and open!
We made the trip out west and, with the help of a few incredible people, got everything set up and ready to roll. It’s been an exciting adventure bringing this West Coast dream to life, and we can’t wait to see players hit the courts.
A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make this happen—and to our amazing communities in Dartmouth and Bedford for holding it down with energy and heart.
Be aware of you time!
Please remember that teams must be off the courts with 3 minutes left in your time slot. This helps the next group start on time and keeps things running smoothly for everyone. Thanks for being courteous and keeping things moving!

There’s no better time than now to book your court rental! Whether you’re gathering your regular crew for some friendly competition, organizing a mini round-robin, or simply craving some extra time to hit and drill, this is your chance to make it happen on your own schedule.

Friendly Reminder!
When you sign up for a league, you’re committing to a team and a schedule and we love that! But we also know that life happens. If something comes up and you’re unable to attend one of your games, it’s your responsibility to find a sub to take your place.
Why? Because your absence affects the whole group. Every player counts, and showing up (or finding someone who can) helps keep the games competitive, fun, and fair for everyone involved.
We’re all here to play, improve, and enjoy the game together and that only works when everyone’s in it as a team. So if you need help finding a sub, don’t wait until the last minute. Ask around early, feel free to post on our Facebook page CrossCourt Pickleball
Thank you for helping make CrossCourt a fun, safe, and welcoming space. We’re so grateful to have you as a valued part of our pickleball family.
Remember Lobs are just the universe's way of helping you deal with your emotions. So really you should be thankful! ;)
