This summer, a new generation of athletes will be stepping onto the courts across Greater Victoria to discover one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
Shangri-Law Pickleball is excited to introduce Youth Pickleball Camps (ages 8–12)—designed to help youth learn the game, stay active, and build confidence in a fun, supportive environment. Whether your child/grandchild has never picked up a paddle before or already loves hitting the ball around, these camps make learning pickleball exciting and accessible.
Across parks and recreation courts in the region, youth will spend their mornings moving, laughing, learning new skills, and making friends—while discovering a sport that’s easy to learn and incredibly fun to play.
