🟡 WILLOBEES SOCIAL PICKLEBALL – CROWS NEST 🐝
Beginners welcome—no first-timers | Three courts | Two-hour session

Build your confidence, enjoy friendly rallies and meet other players in a relaxed, supportive WilloBees atmosphere.

This session is ideal for beginner, recreational and lower-intermediate players who know the basics and want to develop their ball control, positioning and consistency—or simply enjoy a social hit.

Completed a WilloBees First Timers session? You’re very welcome! This is a great next step to put what you’ve learnt into practice.

Never played before? Please book a dedicated First Timers session so we can introduce you to serving, scoring and the rules.

Enjoy friendly games across three indoor courts, with regular rotations and an emphasis on encouragement rather than competition.

🕘 ARRIVAL, SETUP & PACK-UP

Please arrive 5–10 minutes before the listed start time, ready to check in and help when our booking begins.

Do not enter the court area, set up nets or warm up before the listed start time unless directed by your host or Centre staff. Other groups may have paid bookings up until then, or the Centre may be providing basketball free play. Empty courts do not mean they are available for our use.

Our two-hour booking includes setup, play and pack-up.

Everyone will rotate on and off court. Please follow the host’s rotation arrangements and help set up and pack away nets, balls and borrowed paddles.

Play must finish with enough time to have everything packed away and the courts cleared by the booking’s finish time.

Please respect other sports and avoid interrupting court users before or after our session.

👟 WHAT TO BRING

• Supportive court shoes—no sandals or thongs
• A drink bottle
• Optional: a small hand towel
• Your paddle—spare paddles are available if needed

Coming on your own? No problem—introduce yourself to your host, who’ll help you settle in and meet the other players.

🟡 BALL SAFETY

• If a ball rolls onto your court, call “Ball!” immediately and stop play
• If your ball enters another court, alert the players
• Never cross another court to retrieve a ball
• Retrieve and return balls only once play has stopped and it is safe
• Stay alert for loose balls underfoot

Safety first—even if someone is about to hit the winner of the century! 😄
