GAC Racquets


INDOOR PICKLEBALL

To participate in paid GAC programs, all players must hold an official club rating. For convenience, we offer a Temporary Rating option: GAC members may choose a 2.0 or 2.5 rating to access rating-specific programs without an initial assessment. Members who feel their skills exceed the 2.5 level can registered for a player re-evaluation at designated times throughout the year. Reassessment dates and times will be announced on the Glendon Athletic Club Member Portal.

To request a temporary rating, please contact us at gac@glendon.yorku.ca or visit the Pickleball - Rating Assessment section on the GAC Member Portal.

A GAC membership is required for general access to facilities and most programs. Non-members can participate in selected programs, including Clinics, Camps, Workshops, and Private Lessons.

Pickleball is permitted only during designated times, such as “Open Gym - Pickleball” and specific Programs (RR…). The sport is not allowed during General Open Gym hours.
