👨🏓💙 What a day!

Dinkin’ With Dad brought plenty of laughs, great rallies, tasty snacks, and memories that will last a whole lot longer than a necktie. 😄

From fathers and daughters to grandpas, uncles, and everyone in between, it was awesome seeing so many families spending quality time together on the courts.

Congratulations to all of our winners, our Best Dressed Team, and everyone who came out to make this such a special Father’s Day event.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who joined us. We hope you had as much fun as we did!

Until next year…keep dinking, keep smiling, and keep making memories. 💙🏓

See you on the courts!

🧡 Today, June 21st, is National Indigenous Peoples Day.

It’s a day to recognize and celebrate the cultures, traditions, languages, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada.

At IPOP, we’re grateful to operate on the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples and to be part of communities enriched by their history and leadership.

Today is a great day to learn, listen, and celebrate.

👨🏓 Happy Father’s Day!

Today, we’re celebrating all the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, and father figures who taught us lessons both on and off the court.

Thanks for the rides to practice, the encouragement, the life advice, and the occasional questionable line call 😆

We hope you get to spend some quality time with family today. Whether that’s playing catch… or, around here, playing pickleball.

If you don’t already have plans, grab Dad and book a pickleball session at one of our two IPOP locations today!

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at IPOP 💙

🧠 Want to Protect Your Brain? Start Moving (and Thinking)

Did you know pickleball is good for your brain (as well as your body)?

👉 Combining mental and physical activity may help reduce the risk of dementia.

Here’s the key takeaway:

• Mentally active habits (reading, learning, problem-solving) help protect your brain
• Passive habits (like scrolling or watching TV) may increase risk
• Even small changes, like replacing passive time with engaging activity, can make a difference

And it gets better:

👉 You don’t have to sit still to train your brain.

Activities that combine:
• Movement
• Strategy
• Social interaction

…are some of the most powerful for long-term brain health.

Sound familiar?

That’s basically pickleball.

Every time you play, you’re:
• Reading your opponent
• Making quick decisions
• Moving your body
• Connecting with others

👉 You’re training your brain without even realizing it.

♻️🏓 We heard you!

One of the questions we get all the time is:

“What happens to all those broken pickleballs?”

Now we have a great answer.

IPOP has teamed up with Project Re-Bounce and Urban Impact to help keep sports equipment out of the landfill.

How cool is that? Yes, recycling is cool 😎

And yes, we’ve been saving our broken pickleballs! Project Re-Bounce will be picking them up and giving them a new purpose.

🌎 Why does this matter?

Some sports equipment takes hundreds of years to break down naturally. Since launching, Project Re-Bounce has already diverted more than 1.4 million tennis ball equivalents by volume from landfill.

You’ll now find collection bins and information posters at both IPOP Burnaby and IPOP Surrey.

You can recycle:

🎾 Pickleball balls
👋 Used grips and overgrips
🏓 Broken paddles
🥽 Broken eye protection
👟 Sports shoes and clothing beyond donation quality
🧤 Sports gloves
…and more!

Remember, reuse and donate whenever possible. When your gear reaches the end of its life, Project Re-Bounce (and IPOP!) is here to help keep it out of the landfill.

Thank you to Project Re-Bounce and Urban Impact for helping us make pickleball a little greener. 💙🌎

📈 DUPR added a new feature called DUPR Impact.

And if you care about your rating…you’ll want to check this out.

DUPR Impact lets you preview how a match score affects your rating before you even play.

That means:
• See how much an 11 to 2 win helps
• See how much an 11 to 9 game changes things
• Understand why every point matters

The feature lives inside the Forecast tab in the DUPR app.

This gives players more transparency into how DUPR works and why score margins matter. (dupr.com)

If you don’t have a DUPR yet, now’s a good time to get one.

Your DUPR helps you:
• Find the right level to play at
• Get better matchups
• Track your progress over time

👉 No DUPR yet?
Join our NR DUPR Socials on Tuesday nights at IPOP and get your rating started.

👉 Already have one?
Come test it at Super DUPR Sundays 😈

🏓 Beginner Dinking Tips That Actually Work

If your d***s keep popping up or going into the net, you’re probably doing one of these wrong.

Fix it with this:
• Keep it soft (push, don’t swing)
• Contact in front of your body
• Use less wrist
• Bend your knees
• Aim with purpose (feet/backhand)
• Hold the kitchen line
• Start cross-court for consistency

Simple cue:
👉 Quiet hands. Soft legs. Low ball.

Master this, and your game changes fast.

👉 Want to learn it properly?
Book a session with one of our coaches at IPOP.
