Membership | Lake Country PB

New Member Information

The LCPC reserves the right to limit membership based on court availability provided under our agreement with the District of Lake Country. Should membership signup exceed planned capacity, a waitlist will be available. There is no payment required to add your name to the waitlist.

If you register on our waitlist, providing complete and accurate information will improve your chances of receiving an invite to join the club. Players from the waitlist are typically selected based on a variety of factors that meet the needs of the club including matching player skill levels with our designated playing groups that have space available.

Players can be invited off the waitlist to join the club as playing members anytime after registration opens throughout the season. If you receive an email invitation to "Join LCPC" you should accept the invitation and complete the registration process. If you don't complete your registration and payment within a reasonable timeframe, your spot may be offered to another player on the waitlist.

Membership Fees

All memberships (new and renewing) are processed through the national registration system called the Pickleball Canada National System (PCNS). The PCNS is your "one-stop location" for joining Lake Country Pickleball Club (LCPC), Pickleball BC (PBC) and Pickleball Canada (PCO). The three governing entities – LCPC, PBC, PCO - each determine their own membership fee. You pay all the fees at once and the PCNS automatically credits the three partners. The fees to join LCPC for the 2025 season include:

Lake Country Pickleball $ 52.50

Pickleball BC $ 7.50

Pickleball Canada $ 10.00

Total $ 70.00*

*Payment of fees is online by credit card or PayPal. Cheques are not accepted. As is common with online payment systems there is a transaction fee of 4.9% plus $0.50 plus applicable sales tax. This is a combination of the fee charged by the financial agency that collects and distributes the money to the three parties and for the support and development of the Pickleball Canada National System.

If you are a member of another pickleball club and previously registered with Pickleball Canada and/or Pickleball BC, you will only be charged the LCPC registration fee of $52.50 plus taxes and fees. Previous payments will automatically be recognized by the PCNS system based on your membership number.

Confirmation that you have successfully registered and paid your fees through the PCNS system will be delivered to the email address on your Pickleball Canada profile.
