The North Kawartha Figure Skating Club 2020/21 Season

Then in March they get to display the results of all their hard work and dedication in a spectacular ice show. With many skill levels, we are able to assess your child's skating abilities and place them in the appropriate group. 

Figure skating lessons at the NKCC began November 09, 2020 and were to end with the North Kawartha Figure Skating Club Annual Show, that was tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 27, 2021.

Pickleball was created with one thing in mind: fun. It was designed to be easy to learn and play, whether you’re five, eighty-five, or somewhere in-between. It is traditionally played on a badminton-sized court with special pickleball paddles, made of wood or high-tech aerospace materials. The ball used is similar to a wiffle ball, but slightly smaller. The wiffle ball and smaller court size allow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities, while still allowing more competitive players to test their mettle. 

For additional information regarding Adult Pickleball, please contact Brian Conley at 705-656-2695 or email: b.conley2139@gmail.com.

Pickleball at Wilson Park
Pickleball was created with one thing in mind: fun. It was designed to be easy to learn and play, whether you’re five, eighty-five, or somewhere in-between. It is traditionally played on a badminton-sized court with special pickleball paddles, made of wood or high-tech aerospace materials. The ball used is similar to a wiffle ball, but slightly smaller. The wiffle ball and smaller court size allow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities, while still allowing more competitive players to test their mettle.
