MTL Pickleball — 2026: The Next Chapter
🏓 MTL Pickleball — 2026: The Next Chapter
Dear MTL Pickleball Community,
One year ago, we opened our doors.
What happened next wasn’t just court bookings and rallies — it was something bigger.
It was energy.
It was new friendships.
It was competition, laughter, and late-night games that didn’t want to end.
2025 was our first year open — but it became your community.
And for that, we’re incredibly grateful.
Now, 2026 isn’t about starting.
It’s about evolving.
Everything below has one simple intention:
Help you play longer. Feel better. Connect deeper.
You may have noticed something new taking shape at the front of the building.
Floor mats. Screens. Space to stretch.
In 2026, we’re introducing a pickleball-specific stretching plan you can follow before or after play — designed to improve mobility, support recovery, and extend the number of years you stay active on the court.
Because this isn’t just about today’s game.
It’s about the next decade of games.
We’ve also built a dedicated therapy room and will soon offer on-site massage therapy — giving you the tools to recover properly, manage soreness, and take care of your body like a serious athlete.
We’ll even be curating select recovery products to support you beyond the courts.
Play hard. Recover smart.
Open Play is the heartbeat of our club.
And in 2026, we’re raising the standard.
Our most popular Open Play sessions will now be coach-led — bringing structure, fairness, and smoother rotations to every session.
Our coaches will:
Manage court flow
Encourage balanced matchups
Support fair play
Ensure everyone gets meaningful time on court
It’s about better games.
Better flow.
Better experience.
And to keep transitions smooth, we kindly ask players to arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before their session — allowing every group to finish comfortably.
Small details. Big impact.
Peak hours? No problem.
Introducing Members-Only Express Check-In.
Open your CourtReserve app.
Scan your QR code.
Walk straight in.
No lines. No waiting.
Membership should feel different. Now it does.
One of our biggest goals is to continue growing the pickleball community and welcoming new players into the sport.
As a thank you for being part of MTL Pickleball, members can now introduce brand-new players and receive a complimentary 30-minute extension added to their court booking.
Here’s how it works:
• Book a minimum 1-hour court
• Bring at least 2 first-time players to MTL Pickleball
• We’ll add 30 minutes to your reservation at no charge (total booking: 1.5 hours)
• Call us to reserve — this offer isn’t available online
Know two friends, colleagues, or family members who should try pickleball? Bring them in — we’ll take care of the extra court time.
It’s our way of rewarding members who help grow the game and strengthen the MTL Pickleball community.
Everyone remembers their first time on a pickleball court.
Excited. Curious. Maybe a little unsure.
That’s why we’re launching the MTL Beginner Pathway — a guided 3-step learning experience designed specifically for new players.
From introduction…
To skill development…
To confident social play.
Structured. Supportive. Unintimidating.
Because growing the game means welcoming the next generation of players properly.
The future of MTL Pickleball starts with their first rally.
Available online individually or as a discounted 4-course package through reception.
Pickleball is better when you’re playing with people who match your level, your energy, your ambition.
That’s why we’re launching the official MTL Pickleball WhatsApp Community — your digital clubhouse.
Inside, you’ll be able to:
- Find players at your level
• Organize games that match your intensity
• Connect with consistent partners
• Stay plugged into club updates
Thoughtfully organized by level groupings, this hub makes finding the right game simple.
More connection.
More quality matches.
More time on court.
We’re discerning about our courts.
We’re discerning about our programming.
And yes — we’re discerning about our coffee.
Introducing the MTL Pickleball Signature Coffee Blend, locally micro-roasted by Café Candela on Boulevard des Sources.
Fresh coffee? On us.
Bring your own tumbler — complimentary.
Need a cup? $2 to support our environmental initiatives. 🌱
Take it home from our pro shop.
Because culture is built in the details.
We’re finishing our back event room — and it’s quickly becoming something special.
Warm string lighting.
A custom mural by Montreal artist Wolf L’Artiste.
Comfortable lounge seating.
Games. Tables. Space to gather.
When booked, it will host corporate events and celebrations.
When not reserved, it becomes your member lounge.
A place to unwind.
A place to connect.
A place where conversations continue long after the final rally.
In 2026, we will launch the official MTL Pickleball Online Store.
What began as a curated in-house pro shop evolves into a full online destination — bringing trusted brands, quality gear, and recovery products to players across Montreal and beyond.
Members will always get first access.
But our ambition doesn’t stop at our walls.
We’re building a true pickleball hub — for Montreal, for Canada, for players.
Looking Ahead
2025 was proof of concept.
2026 is proof of momentum.
We’re proud of what we’ve built.
We’re grateful for who we’ve built it with.
And we’re just getting started.
See you on the courts.
The MTL Pickleball Team 🏓💛
For players. By players.
Building community — one rally at a time.
