Welcome to the Comox Valley Pickleball Association (CVPA)
In 2015 a group of passionate and dedicated players got together to explore how we can improve playing options and advance the sport that we love. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in Canada and we want to “catch the wave” and be prepared. As a step towards developing our sport, the non-profit CVPA was formed.
CVPA will serve the communities of Comox, Courtenay, Cumberland and the surrounding Regional District.
Our mandate is:
To assist and promote the growth of Pickleball as a game for all ages;
To assist with the development and utilization of local Pickleball facilities;
To assist with the improvement of our members’ level of skill and enjoyment;
To provide similar and related services as determined by the membership.
Our vision is:
Our initial vision of having dedicated pickleball courts in the Comox Valley has been realized with the completion of the Rotary Highland dedicated courts and the resurfacing of the Martin Park courts. CVPA now hopes to increase the enjoyment of the game of pickleball for our members by using our first class outdoor venues to their full benefit, offering competitive and non-competitive events and play. We will continue to move forward in a positive, co-operative manner.
