Reminder: Please Register Before You Play!
We love seeing everyone eager to get on court, but please remember that all sessions at Cross Court Pickleball require advance registration. Whether it’s a drop-in, league, skills & drills session, or special event, you must be signed up through our website or the MindBody app before arriving.
This helps us manage court space, balance group sizes, and make sure everyone has a great experience. When players show up without registering, it can throw off schedules and make it difficult to accommodate everyone fairly.
How to Register:
• Go to our website and click “Play Pickleball” at your preferred location (Bedford or Dartmouth)
• Or open the MindBody app, search Cross Court Pickleball, and register directly from your phone.
Please note, walk-ins without registration won’t be permitted to join the session.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep things organized and enjoyable for everyone!

The Dink Minor League Pickleball @ Cross Court Dartmouth
Saturday, December 6, 2025
Cross Court Pickleball Club – 1380 Cole Harbour Rd, Cole Harbour, NS
Registration opens November 21
Get ready to rally! The Dink Minor League Pickleball is coming to Cross Court Dartmouth! This unique, team-based tournament format brings a fresh twist to traditional pickleball competition, combining strategy, skill, and teamwork in an exciting day of play.
This is not your typical tournament. Each team is made up of four players (two women and two men) who will compete in four 21-point games: women’s doubles, men’s doubles, and two mixed doubles. If the score is tied 2–2, the match is decided in a “Dreambreaker” tiebreaker, a fast-paced singles rotation where teams battle to 21, win by two.
Divisions and Times
• DUPR 16: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
• DUPR 22: 1:30 PM – 8:30 PM
Entry Fee: CAD 85 per player (teams must register together)
Whether you’re playing for fun, the thrill of competition, or the camaraderie of team play, this event is open to all who love the game. Gather your squad, mark your calendars, and join us for an unforgettable day of Minor League Pickleball at Cross Court.

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
