I’m spreading the love of pickleball across eastern Manitoba because it’s more than just a sport — it’s a way to bring people together. Pickleball has this amazing ability to connect generations, spark laughter, and build friendships on and off the court. Whether someone’s picking up a paddle for the first time or returning for their hundredth game, the joy and community spirit it inspires are contagious.

By growing pickleball in our local towns and communities, I’m helping create spaces where people can stay active, meet new friends, and feel a sense of belonging. It’s about promoting wellness, fun, and connection — one rally at a time. Eastern Manitoba deserves that energy, and I’m proud to be part of the movement!

We attended the learn to play and the drills and skills clinic on Saturday January 3 hosted by Alec Owens. We had never tried pickleball before but had always wanted to! Honestly, we had a blast! Alec was very patient and he is very thoughtful in his approach to teaching. It took us a bit to get the hang of it but by the end of the afternoon clinic we were confident that we were ready for more! We would highly recommend Alec’s clinics to anyone who may be contemplating getting in to the game. 5 Stars!!!

Thank you Alec!

Jan Schmalenberg, Pinawa, MB

Highly recommend attending Alec’s Pickleball Clinics!
As an intermediate player, I have personally taken several coaching sessions with Alec and I always walk away having learned something new, along with clear areas to focus on for improvement. His feedback is encouraging, and practical.
In addition, Alec has provided clinics for youth in our community, where he excels at combining skill development with fun and engagement. His positive teaching style builds confidence while helping players meaningfully improve.
Alec’s teaching style is supportive and positive—he encourages players at every level while clearly pointing out ways to improve. Whether you’re a new player, youth player or an adult looking to level up your game, Alec’s clinics are well worth attending.
