About Us

Salamat sa Pagdayo! A Home Court for Filipino Players

Markham Pickleball PH started as a small group of Filipino friends rallying at the Cornell Community Centre courts. Today we've grown into a welcoming hub for Filipino — and Filipino-at-heart — pickleball players across Markham, united by our love of the game, good food, and good company.

Community First

All skill levels welcome, from total beginners to seasoned 4.0+ players. Everyone gets a paddle-buddy.
