A chat with Victoria Regional Pickleball Association president Roger Graves

  • March 9, 2025

Vancouver Island Pickleball, powered by Courtside Sports, spoke with Victoria Regional Pickleball Association (VRPA) president Roger Graves earlier this month. Graves, a Level 2 NCCP instructor in the region and professor emeritus at the University of Alberta takes over from longtime president, Connie McCann. 

A former board member at Cordova Bay, Graves’ shared thoughts on his new role with the VRPA, including where the Association fits into the pickleball landscape following the rise of private facilities in the region. 

“There’s lots of stuff happening,” said Graves. “The issue becomes, what is the role of the VRPA in all of this?”

Graves also shares his thoughts on player assessments and ratings, as well as the inclusivity of the pickleball community.
