About Us
North Grenville Pickleball is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing accessible, affordable, and inclusive opportunities to engage in one of North America’s fastest-growing sports.
Our season begins in late April and wraps up around mid-September.
During that time, NGP operates out of the North Grenville Curling Club, which features five indoor pickleball courts that accommodate an average of 30 players per session.
We provide daily open play sessions, fun tournaments, and “Learn to Play” clinics.
From July 3rd to August 7th, the morning indoor sessions take place at the North Grenville Municipal Centre.
There are four outdoor courts at Riverside Park in Kemptville.

NGP Volunteering
We are always looking for volunteers to join our Team. If you're interested in getting involved, please email us.
Pickleball is a simple, affordable sport that is suitable for all ages. It offers participants the chance to enhance their cardiovascular fitness, reflexes, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive skills.
For the past several years, our dedicated volunteers have worked diligently to introduce and promote pickleball in our community. Saying they have been successful is an understatement; our numbers are growing rapidly!
To keep pace with the growth, we welcome new volunteers.
If you are interested in volunteering or would like additional information, contact us at
