Cadets introduced to new activity

Visiting cadets in Vernon found out more about what is called the fastest growing sport in North America.

Members of the Vernon Pickleball Association (VPA), in association with the Vernon Cadet Training Centre, recently taught the basics of the sport to 120 cadets over four afternoons at their courts in Marshall Fields.

“Pickleball is known as being the fastest growing sport in North America, and the VPA was excited to showcase the sport to these younger players, exposing them to the game as it quickly grows in popularity,” Anne Longley, s spokesperson for the association said.

It was a new component of one of the courses offered to the cadets.
