What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a “paddle and ball” sport played on a badminton-sized court, combining the best elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Using a paddle and a lightweight plastic “wiffle” ball, it’s a game that’s easy to learn, inclusive for all skill levels and ages, and fun for everyone.

The game focuses on tactics, patience, and precision rather than power and speed, making it a sport where anyone can succeed. With long rallies, a mix of soft and rapid-fire shots, and a social, welcoming atmosphere, Pickleball is more than just a game—it’s a community.

Why Play Pickleball?

• Physical, mental, and social benefits

• Inclusive and adaptable – perfect for all ages and abilities

• Easy to learn, but always challenging and rewarding

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors, Whittlesea Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates, whose support has made these new courts possible
