Fall Schedule Coming Soon & Pickleball Update

Please note that TSC Pickleball programs in the Fall will be for ALL-LEVELS on a DROP-IN basis with a maximum of 26 participants per game. This is in conformity with all other TSC drop-in activities including Badminton & Table Tennis.  Please direct any questions to tscpickleball@gmail.com

If you are interested in Pickleball Lessons or specific levels of play such as Beginner, Intermediate or Competitive, these will be offered by the City of Markham. Registration begins Aug 15 for Markham residents. Non-Residents may register Aug 16. Please see their website at http://www.markham.ca or visit their help desk by the Library to register for these City programs.

    question: are you not splitting levels into beginner inter and advanced for the Thornhill Seniors???
    I will not play with beginners and no Inter or Advanced will want to. If I am wrong it is because the wording on this email leads me to believe it is ALL PLAY no matter the level.
    We were always made to believe that if we were previously registered for inters on Wednesday Thursday that we would keep the same time slot and it would just be INTERS / only and like last year, the advanced were put into our mix. NEVER beginners. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP so we all know what to do going forward.

      Hi I visited Thornhill seniors club this morning to inquire about the fall PB program, the lady there told me if you have not pre registered by now you won’t get in because we already have 150 people on the list. I have not received any information to suggest to me that I needed to do that. Pls clarify

    Hi there, just to confirm . . . at the end of the last sessions in June I understood the same lists (beginner, intermediate and advanced, for Tues, Wed and Thur etc) would be picked up in Sept?? Now it appears that something has changed and ALL sessions, for ALL days, will be first come, first served!! regardless of skill level !! so there will be NO further use of the old lists?? Is that correct?? If that is correct, will that not result in the beginners being somewhat ‘over-whelmed’, and the advanced being ‘bored’?? Please advise thanks Alan Puckett ________________________________

    Considering the demand for Pickleball courts, it would be far more enjoyable and fair for “ levels” of play to be implemented in order to keep this “ fun”. Why can’t days be specified for each level with the provision that you can only play in your designated level of play. A good way to prevent adult “ bullying” and spread out the demand on each day.

    I agree with the comment above. In communities where all levels play together there is often problems with better players not wanting to play with beginners creating a very negative environment. TSC’s previous system of streaming by level allows everyone to participate equally and creates a much more positive environment for all.
    Please reconsider.
