The purpose of this site is to be your resource for Burke Centre Pickleball Association (BCPA)

• Covid-19 and pickleball play with BCPA - Updated 7 Oct 2021
  
  BCPA has opened regular play as well as League play (see League link). BCPA still recommends following social distancing of 6 feet and other mitigation methods you desire. Also, put your name on your paddle and your bottle of water so people can read it without picking it up. BCPA recognizes that you are all responsible adults and respect your fellow players. So have fun with us with this in mind.
