Pickleball is a “paddle and ball” sport played on a badminton size court with rules and equipment to afford all skill levels and age groups enjoyment and success on court. Using a paddle and plastic “wiffle” ball, played on a hard surface indoors or outdoors, the game is a combination of tactical shots, patience, which encourages an inclusive play environment with no need for modifications or adaptations to cater for gender, ability, or age differences.

It combines the best of tennis, badminton and table tennis in an easy to learn sport. Pickleball is both fun and challenging with a combination of volleys and ground strokes, long rallies and a blend of soft and rapid-fire shots; where the best player must earn their points not purely by athleticism, power, and speed, but also through the use of positioning, patience, tactics, and touch. Finally pickleball, and the sense of community achieved through pickleball, provides connections, social, mental, and physical well-being benefits, which are just some of the reasons players are passionately embracing this sport at such a rapid rate both in Australia and globally.
