History of Mississauga Pickleball

The Pickleball Mississauga Association was founded in 1993. It was the beacon for Pickleball in the early days and was the centre for advocacy in the City of Mississauga. In 2022, the PMA relinquished the reigns and became Mississauga Pickleball. The goal of the new group is to both advocate and play Pickleball.
