Equipment:

Paddles: Do I need to purchase my own paddle? The Mono Pickleball Club has paddles for new members that they can try out before they purchase their own paddle. There are many locations where you can purchase a paddle, for example: Canadian Tire, Amazon, Marketplace, and other specialty stores. It is recommended that you purchase a composite paddle (not wood or aluminum).  
 

Shoes:
What type of running shoes should I wear?  Any type of shoe that is for court use (not running shoes) and designed to support motion in all directions. If you have mobility or balance concerns, you may want to consult a “foot” specialist to select an appropriate type of shoe for this sport.
 

Clothing: 
Gym clothing i.e., shorts, leggings, track pants, etc. Comfort is key!

Water: It is recommended that you bring your own water bottle. Some venues do not have water available.

Place of residence:

Place of residence is not a condition of membership.  We have members from Orangeville, Caledon, Mono, Shelburne, and other communities.
 

Beginner/Novice Clinics:

The club has 4 NCCP Level 1 Certified Instructors.  Scheduled clinics will be posted on the website and communicated in our newsletter.  It might be open to non-members for an additional fee if registration does not fill from within.  MPC will have paddles available for you to use during the clinics if you have not purchased one of your own yet.

 

Communication - Newsletter:

Mono Pickleball Club (MPC) emails all members a Newsletter with upcoming events, clinics, playing venues, schedules, etc.  They are an excellent source of information. Past and current newsletters are available on our website under “About Us”: www.monopickleballclub.com/

Mono Pickleball Club home courts  will be a “state of the art” facility:

Our “MPC home” is at Mono College Park (Cardinal Woods). The existing tennis courts will be redesigned into 6 permanent, dedicated pickleball courts this year. The courts will reopen once reconstruction is complete.  This is tentatively planned for Sept 2023. MPC members are excited that in 2024 MPC will be home to 6 “state of the art” pickleball courts.
