We created the 709 Pickleball website as a central hub for everything happening in the pickleball community across the Avalon. This game is about more than what happens on the court—it’s about making connections, having fun and growing together. Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or already planning your week around pickleball, this space is for you. Come discover what’s happening, connect with other players and help us grow the game we love.

Coach Bios

Pickleball is only part of the story.

As a complete beginner, I participated in the 709 Pickleball introductory clinics and the smaller skills coaching groups. I quickly gained enough confidence to join league play and tournaments. Nicole and Alison made learning so easy and have created a fantastic community that is so supportive and encouraging. Their knowledge and enthusiasm makes 709 Pickleball the perfect place to learn and grow your game. Highly recommend!

Deeann Penney, St. John's

I’ve participated in Learn to Play, multiple clinics, leagues, and tournaments run by 709 Pickleball, and I couldn’t recommend this organization and community enough. Nicole and Alison are incredible — they truly care about the game, helping people build their skills, and growing the pickleball community in Newfoundland. 709 Pickleball has created something really special: a community that is fun, competitive, inclusive, and welcoming for players of all levels. I came for the game and stayed for the people. Definitely a lifer!

Friendly enough that I laugh. Competitive enough that I keep improving.
