Shawnee Harle Session

🏓✨ A LITTLE COACHING. A LOT OF POSSIBILITY! ✨🏓

INTERMEDIATE NOVICE PLAYERS, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT!

What if 2.5 hours could change the way you see, think about, and play pickleball?

We have a fantastic opportunity to bring you 2.5 hours of exceptional coaching from a 2× Olympian coach for just $55!

Yes, you read that right. Olympic-level coaching for $55!

This is about more than hitting better shots. It’s about building confidence, understanding the game, making smarter decisions, and discovering those little adjustments that can make a BIG difference.

Whether you’re working on consistency, court positioning, shot selection, or simply wanting to feel more confident out there, this session is designed to help you take that next step.

And to finish things off?

🏆 A MINI CHALLENGE COURT!
A chance to put your learning into action with some friendly competition!

📅 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18
⏰ 3:30–6:00 PM
📍 Hassen Arena, Armstrong
💰 $55 per player
🎯 Intermediate Novice Players

❤️ HERE’S THE IMPORTANT PART!

We need 14 enthusiastic players to make this session happen. If we can’t fill the spots, we’ll need to look at rescheduling.

We would LOVE to see this opportunity go ahead!

So find a friend, grab your paddle, and give yourself the gift of learning from someone who knows what it takes to perform at the highest level.

You don’t have to be an advanced player to deserve exceptional coaching.

In fact, this might be exactly the stage of your pickleball journey when great coaching makes the biggest difference.

🔥 COME CURIOUS. LEAVE CONFIDENT. PLAY BETTER. 🔥

Another fantastic session with James & Jenna, the Pickleball Drill Masters!

We laughed, we learned, and at least a few of us had our pickleball worlds gently dismantled and rebuilt. 😂

Our session included: smart coaching, great humour, zero fluff and drills that actually translate into better play.

There’s something pretty special about a coaching couple who can challenge a group, make everyone better, and still have us laughing through it.

Thanks, James & Jenna. You keep raising our game, one slightly humbled pickleball player at a time. 😂🥒

It is with very sad hearts that we share the passing of our friend and fellow Armstrong Pickleball Club member, Lloyd Gairns, who passed away on Wednesday, September 23.

Lloyd was gentle, fun, funny, and an exceptional volunteer. He gave generously of his time and brought a wonderful sense of humour wherever he went.

Lloyd last joined us on the courts in May, showing up with that same contagious humour and warmth that made people smile. That is how so many of us will remember him: laughing, contributing, enjoying the people around him, and making our pickleball community better simply by being part of it.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Lloyd’s family, friends, and all those who loved him.

We will miss you, Lloyd. Thank you for the laughter, the kindness, and for being such a wonderful part of our pickleball family. You left your mark here.

🥒🏓 That’s a wrap on our second Seniors Pickleball session, and what a crew this has become!

Behind those paddles are athletes who showed up ready to learn, took some risks, laughed a LOT, built their confidence and skills, and can now hold their own in a match. 💪

Their coaches, Lisa, Robert, Leslie, and Jenn, couldn’t be more proud of the development of these athletes.

And the best part? They’re already raring to sign up for the fall sessions! ❤️

We’re missing a few of our crew in this photo, but they were a big part of the laughter, learning, and fun that made this session so special.

Brave. Spicy. Competitive. And officially pickleball players.

What a fun crew! See you in the fall! 🏓🔥

Take a look at what’s available for seniors and all other community members for Pickleball in the fall:

We were saddened to hear of Kevin’s passing.

Kevin joined Armstrong Pickleball Club as a member and quickly became known as a genuinely kind, friendly, and gracious person both on and off the court. He was a pleasure to play with and brought warmth to those around him.

Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences go out to his wife, family, and all who knew and loved him.

Kevin will be remembered fondly by our pickleball community. 💙🏓

With heavy hearts, the City of Salmon Arm acknowledges the passing of Councillor Kevin Flynn. We honour Kevin’s remarkable life, his lasting contributions to the community and send love to his cherished family and friends.
