🙌 Keep Cross Court Going This Summer
We know there are more places to play pickleball as the weather warms up—but we hope you’ll continue to play with us at Cross Court throughout the summer.
We exist because of your support, and indoor pickleball only works if we have a strong, year-round community. By keeping a weekly game on the schedule at one of our locations, you help ensure that Cross Court can keep running all year long.
Thank you to those who have already committed to continuing your bookings—we see you, and we appreciate you! 💙

Stay Fit and Injury-Free with Spring Physiotherapy!
This Week’s Tip: Improving Knee Stability for Pickleball Players
Stable knees help prevent injuries and improve quick movements. Try these exercises:
Single-Leg Sit-to-Stand: Sit in a chair and stand up using only one leg. Lower back down with control. Do 8-10 reps per leg.
Lateral Band Walks: Place a resistance band around your legs above your knees. Step sideways, keeping tension on the band. Walk 10 steps in each direction.
If knee pain is affecting your game, book a Physiotherapy Assessment at Spring Physiotherapy. Call 902-453-1525 extension 2 or email admin@springphysio.ca for details!
