2o26 SUMMER junior clinics

Registration is open now for our 2026 summer clinics, running once a week at De La Salle College’s dedicated pickleball courts (131 Farnham Ave). When you arrive, all equipment will be provided including pickleball paddles. Players are grouped based on their age and skill level, and we have fewer players per court than any program in Toronto. Dates and times are as follows:

Saturdays, June 27-August 22
8 classes at $270 (no additional fees or taxes) • No class August 1 • Makeup day August 29
• 1-2pm — ages 5-8
• 2-3pm — ages 8-13

Through games, drills and on-court coaching, our fun-filled clinics will teach the fundamentals of pickleball and stroke development! Washrooms may not be available, so please ensure your child uses the washroom before attending.

We’re also offering private lessons directly following the clinics from 3-4pm. Our Private Lessons page will launch soon, in the meantime please email jeremy@pickleplayground.ca for information.

FAQs

The Playing Experience

  • Pickleball is easy to learn, a blast to play, and promotes physical activity and social interaction. The game is played on a smaller court than tennis, which allows for quick rallies and lots of movement. The lighter ball and smaller paddles make it easier for kids to control and hit the ball, leading to a sense of accomplishment and confidence.

  • Our maximum player to coach ratio is 6:1.

  • Our summer program is held on true, purpose-built pickleball courts.

 

Sign-Up Questions

  • There will be no refunds or make-ups for classes missed by an individual.

  • Our clinics run rain or shine, except in the event of a heavy downpour. One makeup day is scheduled in case of a rain day. There will be no refunds if more than one session is rained out.

  • We do our best to put friends in the same group. You can indicate the friend your child wants in their lesson when you sign up.
