The Saanich Pickleball Association has recently spoken out against the closure of their courts, stating that the reasons given for the closure are unfounded.
According to the association, the decision to close the courts was made without proper consultation with the pickleball community. They claim that the closure was based on misinformation and a lack of understanding of the sport.
Pickleball is a popular sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It has been gaining popularity in recent years, especially among older adults, due to its low-impact nature and social aspect.
The association argues that the closure of the courts will have a negative impact on the physical and mental well-being of its members. Many of them rely on pickleball as a form of exercise and social interaction, especially during the pandemic.
Furthermore, the association points out that pickleball is a safe and low-risk activity, with strict COVID-19 protocols in place. They believe that the closure of the courts is unnecessary and goes against the current guidelines set by health authorities.
In response to the reasons given for the closure, the association has provided evidence to support their claims. They have also reached out to the municipality to discuss alternative solutions that would allow the courts to remain open while still adhering to safety measures.
The closure of the pickleball courts has caused frustration and disappointment among the association’s members. They are urging the municipality to reconsider their decision and work together to find a solution that benefits both the community and public health.
In conclusion, the Saanich Pickleball Association is standing firm in their belief that the reasons for the court closure are unfounded. They are calling for open communication and collaboration to find a resolution that supports the physical and mental well-being of their members.
