"They learned about Pickleball from watching Youtube."According to the national organization, pickleball is the "fastest growing sport in North America" and Pickleball Canada boasts 650 members.The newsletter went on to explain that Queen Charlotte pickleballers play twice a week in the high school gym, and also on an outdoor court.
