🥳 Congratulations to Our Provincials Players!
A big congrats to all our Cross Court members who played in Provincials this weekend! 🏆 It was amazing to see so many familiar faces on the podium and out on the courts.
Whether you won or lost, you showed up and played—and that’s what truly matters. We hope you shared plenty of laughs and smiles with pickleball friends, new and old. We’re proud of you all! 💙

This Week’s Tip: Enhancing Lateral Speed for Pickleball Players
Quick lateral movements keep you in position for every shot. Try these drills:
Side Shuffles: Shuffle quickly 5 steps to the right, then 5 steps left. Repeat for 30 seconds, rest, and do 3 sets.
Cone Hops: Place small cones (or any markers) in a line and hop side to side over them. Repeat for 20 seconds.
Get an assessment at Spring Physiotherapy to improve your movement efficiency and prevent injuries. Call 902-453-1525 extension 2 or email admin@springphysio.ca.
Have a great week -I hope you're not too tired from playing pickleball to play pickleball :)
