We are excited to announce the launch of a series of fundraising pickleball lessons and beginner’s round robin socials raising funds for the construction of six new dedicated pickleball courts in Picton, Ontario!

The fundraising pickleball lessons will feature two highly experienced instructors, each offering sessions tailored to different skill levels. Mark Cossarin, a highly active pickleball instructor with Level 1 and 2 National Coaching Certification, has extensive experience including winning the 2023 Ontario Championship Series Men’s Senior Open final. Joining him is Jim Rayburn, a 4.5 Level Player with 20 years of experience in high-performance coaching. Jim’s goal in coaching pickleball is to inspire, challenge and make students the best players possible. Both men are eager to share their passion for the game through the PEP programs 🙂

Lessons will be held at the Picton Community Centre, 375 Picton Main Street. Beginners’ lessons will run for two hours each, while intermediate and advanced sessions will last 1.5 hours. Each lesson is for a single date and time option and costs $40 with a maximum of 4 participants per court, although superfans can book as many lessons as they like!

Different time slots will be available to choose from on scheduled days:
● May 28 & 29 ● June 3 – 5 ● June 10 – 12 ● June 17 – 19 ● July 2 – 4
