Pickleball Clinic

The application period for Soldier On members wishing to participate in the NCR Pickleball Clinic on 8, 15, 22, 29 May is now open. The application deadline is 15 April 2026.

AIM AND SCOPE OF EVENT:
Soldier On is excited to partner with the RA Centre to offer a 4‑session weekly NCR Pickleball Clinic! This beginner‑friendly program introduces members to the fundamentals of pickleball through guided instruction, drills, and light gameplay. No experience is required — just a willingness to try something new in a supportive, inclusive environment. Pickleball is low‑impact, accessible, and great for building coordination, mobility, and confidence. The clinic also encourages social connection, stress relief, and a sense of accomplishment as participants learn a new sport together. We look forward to seeing you on the court!

The number of Soldier On participants is limited to 12.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: 
Any serving member or veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) National Capital Region who acquired a permanent physical or mental health illness or injury while enrolled as a member of the CAF; whether attributable or not to service.

Serving members will require the approval of their Chain of Command to participate and must have the authorization form submitted to the NCR Soldier On Regional Coordinator by the application deadline or your application will not be considered.
