Pickleball Paddles - Demo Week

From Oct 10 - Oct 16, the Progress Pickleball Club will be hosting a Pickleball Paddles Demo Event to all interested players.

This is an excellent opportunity to demo some of the latest paddles currently on the market.

If you're a new pickleball player, this is a great opportunity to find a paddle to start your pickleball endeavor.
If you're considering a change, this is the perfect opportunity to "try before you buy".

8 paddles have been graciously and temporarily provided by Pickleball Depot (pickleballdepot.ca) for the week:

The event will be coordinated by Rahemin (Ray) Nanji and Mel Shepard.

A sign-out sheet for the demo paddles will be available at the convener's desk.
Both Ray and Mel will be available to answer any questions you have about the event or to provide you any advice or feedback on the demo paddles.

Ray will also be maintaining a list of players interested in purchasing new paddles. Depending on the size of the list, a club discount may be available to those who order.

Please remember that we are open from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm, Monday to Friday and also on Sunday.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the club next week and at the Pickleball Paddles Demo Event!
