Pickleball is a fun mix of tennis, badminton, and table tennis — played on a smaller court with paddles and a perforated ball. It’s easy to learn, social, and suits all ages and fitness levels. Learn more about how to play.

We currently run sessions at:
• Mitchelton State High School — 19 Turnbull St, Mitchelton
• Hills District PCYC — 303 Dawson Parade, Arana Hills

These sessions help reinforce the fundamentals of pickleball and gradually enhance your skills.

Yes, attending a Come & Try is still beneficial — it covers the key differences in rules, scoring, and positioning so you can get the most out of your first games. Many of our players who come from tennis often jump straight into our social sessions after completing a Come & Try.

Kids aged 10+ can join Come & Try with a registered adult. We currently don’t offer kids-only beginner sessions.

Yes — court hire is $30 per hour and includes balls and paddles. Book under “Court Hire” on OpenSports.

Absolutely — they’ll just need to create an OpenSports account and book in separately. Most of our sessions don’t require a partner, so players can sign up solo and will rotate through social matches using our Move & Split system — giving everyone a chance to play with and against others of similar skill. If you’re wanting to play with a partner, check out our Same Partner Doubles and Court Hire sessions here.

Yes! We host team-building and social pickleball events for groups of all sizes. Learn more.
