CROSS COURT PICKLEBALL – THE MEADOWS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER | JUNE 24, 2026

PLATFORM UPDATE – WE ARE MOVING TO MINDBODY

PodPlay is no longer functioning properly, so we are moving ahead with our transition to Mindbody.

This change will bring all Cross Court locations onto one booking platform, creating a more streamlined and consistent experience for everyone. We believe Mindbody will provide a better long-term solution and allow us to serve our members more efficiently.

We understand that changing systems can come with a learning curve, and we appreciate your patience as we work through the transition. Our team is committed to making the process as smooth as possible and will continue to provide updates, timelines, and step-by-step instructions along the way.

In the meantime, if you would like to book a court, please email us at info@crosscourtpickleball.ca and we will be happy to assist you. We appreciate your patience while we work through this transition period.

Thank you for bearing with us during this change. We are excited about the improvements Mindbody will bring and look forward to continuing to provide a great experience both on and off the courts.

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR COURT TIME

Looking to improve your game? Consider using some of your court time for focused practice.

Great things to work on include:

• Third-shot drops

• Dinking consistency

• Serve and return placement

• Transition zone movement

• DUPR matches

• Tournament preparation

Even one hour of dedicated practice each week can make a noticeable difference.

RAINY DAYS ARE BETTER WITH PICKLEBALL

It looks like we have another rainy week ahead, but that doesn’t mean your pickleball plans have to be put on hold.

At Cross Court, you never have to worry about wet courts, cancellations, or unpredictable weather. Whether you’re looking to get some extra practice in, enjoy a game with friends, or simply stay active, our indoor courts provide a comfortable and reliable place to play all year long.

With outdoor play likely to be affected by the forecast, now is the perfect time to book a court and keep your pickleball routine going. Gather your regular group, escape the rain, and enjoy guaranteed court time in a great playing environment.

To reserve a court during our transition to Mindbody, please email us at info@crosscourtpickleball.ca, and we’ll be happy to help get you booked.

Don’t let the weather keep you off the courts, we look forward to seeing you at Cross Court this week!

PICKLEBALL TIP OF THE WEEK

Respect the middle.

Many balls go unclaimed because partners hesitate or both assume the other player will take them. Communicate with your partner and establish who has the stronger forehand in the middle.

Clear communication leads to fewer mistakes and more confidence as a team.

KINDNESS ALWAYS WINS

One thing we value at Cross Court is creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable.

Whether someone is brand new to the game or a seasoned player, kindness, encouragement, and respect go a long way. We all share the same courts and the same love of pickleball, and we want Cross Court to continue to be a place where everyone enjoys coming to play.

Please remember that a positive attitude and a few encouraging words can make someone’s day.

CROSS COURT MERCHANDISE

Don’t forget to check out our Cross Court merchandise.

From hoodies and t-shirts to hats and shorts, there’s something for everyone to represent their favourite place to play.
