Introduction to CVPA A group of passionate and dedicated players got together to explore how we can improve playing options and advance the sport that we love. Pickleball is growing rapidly and we want to “catch the wave” and be prepared. As a step towards developing our sport, the non-proft CVPA was formed in 2015. During this short period of time, we have grown to 204 members and 221 subscribers to our newsletter. CVPA serves the communities of Comox, Courtenay, Cumberland and the surrounding Regional District. What is Pickleball? Pickleball is a sport for all ages and skill levels. A paddle and a wife ball is used on a badminton sized court. With simple rules the game is easy to learn but can become very competitive for advanced players. Pickleball is widely recognized as one of the fastest growing sports in North America.
