In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for wellness is essential for both our mental and physical health. One enjoyable way to promote well-being is through the engaging sport of pickleball.

The Pickleball Staff & Faculty Recess League at the Guelph Gryphons Athletics Centre offers a fantastic opportunity to enhance your wellness while having fun with your colleagues.
Why Pickleball?
Pickleball is a great way to break away from the daily grind and boost your mood. The sport combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, making it accessible and enjoyable for players of all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned player or trying it for the first time, you’ll benefit from the physical activity, social interaction, and the thrill of friendly competition.
A Wellness Break in Your Workday
The Recess League, exclusively for U of G Staff & Faculty, is designed to promote mental wellness by providing a refreshing break during the workday. This non-progressive league typically plays games weekly during lunch, making it an ideal way to recharge and connect with colleagues.

- Duration: Each game lasts for 30 minutes.
- Format: Players are paired with a different, random partner each week, ensuring a mix of interaction and camaraderie.
