We’ll be posting the division list as spots fill.

🌀 Why Play Indoors This Summer?
While outdoor pickleball is great, it comes with wind, rain, bugs—and sharing courts with others waiting to play. At Cross Court, we offer dedicated court time without the interruptions. When you book with us, your court is yours.
Plus, by supporting your club through the summer, you help us continue to improve the facility and ensure we're here for you year-round.

This Week’s Tip: Strengthening Your Hamstrings for Pickleball Players
Strong hamstrings help prevent strains and improve movement. Try these exercises:
Hamstring Curls: Stand tall and slowly bring one heel toward your glutes. Lower back down. Do 15 repetitions per leg. If that is too easy, try adding some ankle weights!
Bridge Walkouts: Start in a bridge position with hips lifted. Slowly walk your feet forward a few inches, then back. Repeat 10 times.
If you're still dealing with tight hamstrings after a match, don’t miss your chance to book a 60-minute massage therapy session for just $55. This special rate for CrossCourt members ends soon on June 30th. Spots are limited so don’t wait!
Call 902-453-1525 ext 2 or email admin@springphysio.ca and mention your CrossCourt Member Rate when booking.
Have a great week and don't give up no matter how many points you're down. Comeback games are the most impressive!
Steve & Deanna :)
