PICKLEBALL is a paddle sport you can learn in minutes and play for a lifetime.
It brings together elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong to create a sport that’s fun for all ages and skill levels, but gets fast-paced and exhilarating at competitive levels.
How is pickleball different to other net sports?
It’s easier to pick up than many net sports
It’s lower impact than tennis, so it’s easier on the body
It focuses on quick reflexes and aiming, rather than spiking the ball, powerful serves, or running speed
These differences open pickleball up to a greater range of players. Whether you’ve been playing tennis your whole life, or you’re walking onto a court for the first time; whether you’re young, old, or in between; whether you’re strategic and competitive, or just want to get involved in something fun, social, or active… PICKLEBALL is for you.
Brand new to Pickleball?
We highly recommend you attend one of our Come & Try Sessions for a thorough introduction to the sport; here you will learn the rules, court positioning, how to hold your paddle, and our club style of play. Our hosts can then suggest further sessions for you based on your ability.
These Come & Try sessions are usually held each Saturday at Aspley, each Tuesday at The Gap, each Sunday at Mt Gravatt, weekly at Rocklea, or monthly at Balmoral on a Saturday. We also hold two sessions on a Saturday at Albion (booked via Meetup app).

\*\* With over 400 5-STAR REVIEWS, here's what some of our Pickleball FUN Superstars are saying...
💜 "Had an excellent drills and coaching session on Friday night. Jay is a brilliant strategist and coach and I picked up so much over this 3-hour session. Would highly recommend Pickleball FUN Coaching to anyone looking to learn the sport or level up their game. Very much looking forward to the next bash (/dink!)" ~ Pete W.
💙 "Great clinic for increasing skills, gameplay strategy and different shots. Being able to apply them in drills and then in real match play straight after was awesome! Will definitely be back." ~ Sam D.
🧡 "Pickleball with Pickleball FUN is a fantastic experience. Jay is an organised, patient, and knowledgeable coach who takes us through drills and match-play scenarios to help us to understand strategies and techniques. Above all, it is a great workout and heaps of fun and everyone is welcoming and friendly." ~ Ed F.
💚 "Jay’s ability to connect with all ages and levels of play to improve their game is clear to see. The explanations provided for the strategies and skills were a great help in understanding the game and how to improve and ultimately succeed. Taking the time to stop and read the opponent’s shot before moving has helped me immensely. I recommend Pickleball FUN sessions for all those looking to improve their Pickleball game!" ~ Simone N.
💛 "Jay and Pickleball FUN has taken his coaching to the next level. Last night Jay took the time to explain the type of shot you should consider attempting depending on your court positioning. For me, it gave me a new perspective on playing the percentages and managing a rally to be more competitive. We initially practised drills for different sections of the court before progressing to match play to utilise the skills we were working on. I would highly recommend this Pickleball FUN session to anyone interested in improving their game." ~ Greg L.
