🎯 WILLOBEES SKILLS, DRILLS & PLAY – CROWS NEST 🐝

Practise with purpose. Build confidence. Enjoy your pickleball!

Looking to sharpen your skills while having fun? This session is for players who can control the ball, sustain a basic rally and work with a partner.

We’ll focus on a specific shot or skill through structured, interactive drills, followed by gameplay where you can put what you’ve practised into action.

Come on your own or with a friend—your host will help organise partners and activities.

This is not an introduction to pickleball. Players should already know how to serve, score and rally. If you’ve never played, please book a dedicated First Timers session instead.

🕘 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 booked session time includes setup, drills, gameplay and pack-up.

Please help set up and pack away nets, balls and borrowed paddles. Activities 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.

🟡 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
• The server requiring the ball should raise their hand
• Retrieve and return balls only once play has stopped and it is safe
• Stay alert for loose balls underfoot

👟 WHAT TO BRING

• Comfortable clothing and supportive court shoes—no sandals or thongs
• A drink bottle
• Optional: a small hand towel
• Your paddle—spare paddles are available if needed
• A willingness to practise the shots you normally avoid! 😄

Please note: showers are not available at this venue.
