What we’re about
This group is for anyone who is interested in challenging themselves to play their very best while being patient enough with others who might not be at their level. We will play all sorts of sports: tennis, wallyball, volleyball, beach volleyball, ultimate, soccer and whatever else anyone wants to try.
Participating in an active life is not without its own risks. In addition to offering active and challenging sportsing opportunities, we also offer advice on how to protect yourself with disability insurance. Free online information sessions will be offered on a quarterly basis based upon interest. For more information, please contact Mark MacGillivray via Meetup Message.
As of April 2020, The Calgary Sportsing Meetup has become an official group of Wallyball Canada. This enables us to promote wallyball to the wider world and have access to Wallyball Canada resources:

- crokinole (Crokinole (/ˈkroʊkɪnoʊl/ ⓘ KROH-ki-nohl) is a disk-flicking dexterity board game, possibly of Canadian origin, similar to the games of pitchnut, carrom, and pichenotte, with elements of shuffleboard and curling reduced to table-top size. Players take turns shooting discs across the circular playing surface, trying to land their discs in the higher-scoring regions of the board, particularly the recessed centre hole of 20 points, while also attempting to knock opposing discs off the board, and into the 'ditch'.)
- Music...
- I have a piano - sometimes people play the piano and a few of us sing
- Sometimes someone brings a guitar and plays and sings.
James lives out in Tuscany, about a 20 minute drive from Trail Courts. The address will be sent to you the day prior to the event.
Let's try something new - please bring a *favourite* snack/dish to share with others - no need to bring chips, we haven't eaten all the bags of chips people have brought so far, so please bring something else. Suggestions could be - fruit plate, vegetable plate, finger food (I have a microwave and oven and stove), or bring something you are famous for making!
