Who is this session for?

This session is for players who have a solid understanding of the game and can sustain rallies.

It’s ideal if you:

• Are comfortable with rules, scoring, and game flow
• Can serve and return consistently
• Are starting to use dinks, volleys, and basic strategy
• Enjoy competitive rallies without it becoming overly serious

This session aims to keep games balanced and enjoyable, with players of similar skill levels matched together.

What will happen

This is a relaxed, organised social play session where players:

• Rotate on and off courts
• Mix with different partners
• Take breaks between games
• Chat, laugh and enjoy the community atmosphere

There will be more players than courts, allowing for rest time between games.

A Pickle Park coach/facilitator will be on hand to:

• Manage rotations and court flow
• Help balance games where possible
• Assist players and answer questions

Players can play as many games as they like during the session.

How to show up

• Come to play and have fun
• Be friendly, patient and inclusive
• Focus on enjoyment, movement and community rather than competition

What to bring / wear

• Pickleball paddle (Free Paddle Hire for Members + Non Members $5)
