Six indoor courts, open 24/7, no membership.

Six indoor courts on the West Shore, about 20 minutes from downtown Victoria, that you can book around the clock. There’s no membership: make a free account and pay by the hour, then join level-based drop-ins, lessons or leagues. It’s the dependable choice when Island rain washes out the outdoor courts.
