MindBody Glitch Update
We wanted to let everyone know that the MindBody credit card update glitch is still ongoing. Some members may continue to experience issues when trying to update payment details, renew memberships, or register for programs.
Rest assured, this is a system-wide MindBody issue, not specific to your account. Our team has already contacted MindBody and they’re actively working to resolve it.
In the meantime, if you need to update your payment method or complete a payment manually, just give us a quick call or send us a message, we’ll handle it for you right away.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while this gets sorted out. We truly appreciate your support and will keep you updated as soon as the issue is fixed!
The Dink Minor League Pickleball @ Cross Court Dartmouth
Saturday, December 6, 2025
Cross Court Pickleball Club – 1380 Cole Harbour Rd, Cole Harbour, NS
Get ready to rally — The Dink Minor League Pickleball is coming to Cross Court Dartmouth!
This is one of the most exciting formats in modern pickleball, bringing together competition, camaraderie, and a whole lot of energy. It’s fast, it’s strategic, and it’s designed for players who love both teamwork and competition.
What Makes It Different
This isn’t your typical tournament. Each team is made up of four players — two women and two men — who compete in a unique, four-match format:
• Women’s Doubles
• Men’s Doubles
• Two Mixed Doubles Matches
If the match ends in a 2–2 tie, it all comes down to the ultimate showdown — the Dreambreaker.
This tiebreaker flips traditional pickleball on its head with a thrilling rotating singles rally to 21 (win by 2), where every point and every player counts.
Divisions & Schedule
• DUPR 16: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
• DUPR 22: 1:30 PM – 8:30 PM
Entry Fee: CAD $85 per player
(Teams of four must register together.)
Who Should Play
Whether you’re chasing competition, building your DUPR, or just in it for the love of the game, Minor League Pickleball is a can’t-miss experience. It’s a chance to challenge yourself, meet new players, and be part of the fast-growing Minor League community sweeping North America.
Bring your best squad, your competitive spirit, and your Cross Court pride — this event is set to be one of the most exciting days of the season!

New to Pickleball? Let’s Get You Started
If you’ve been thinking about trying pickleball, there’s never been a better time to jump in. Our Intro to Pickleball sessions are the perfect way to start your journey — designed for complete beginners or anyone looking for a relaxed reintroduction to the sport.
These small-group sessions are welcoming, easy to follow, and focused on fun. Our coaches will walk you through everything you need to know: how to hold the paddle, serve, rally, score, and move safely on the court. You’ll learn the basics of the game at your own pace, meet other new players, and discover why pickleball has become one of the most popular and social sports in Canada.
No equipment or experience is required, we provide paddles and balls, and you bring the enthusiasm. By the end of the session, you’ll have the confidence to join our drop-ins, leagues, and social events across Cross Court.
Locations and Times:
• Dartmouth: Every second Thursday, 7:00–9:00 PM
• Bedford: Mondays, 7:00–9:00 PM
