At Wauchope Tennis Club we have 3 Pickleball courts.

Pickleball was invented in 1965 as a children's backyard game in the United States, on Bainbridge Island in Washington state, USA. Over time it's popularity has grown and now Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in Australia.

Pickleball is played with a 'paddle' and a plastic wiffle ball and has a perfect balance of court dimensions, rules and equipment to afford all skill levels and age groups, enjoyment and success on the court. 

The game is played on a court the same size as a Badminton court and is a combination of tactical shots, patience, and easy to learn strokes, which encourages an inclusive play environment with no need for modifications or adaptations to cater for gender, ability or age differences. 

Pickleball is both fun and challenging with a combination of long rallies and a blend of soft and rapid fire shots; where the best athlete must earn their points not purely by athleticism, power and speed, but also through the use of positioning, patience, tactics and touch.
