If you’re new to pickleball, join the ‘Intro to Pickleball’ session, where you’ll learn the basics you need to start playing pickleball. Once you've attended an Intro session, you are welcome to join the "Beginner" game play sessions.

If you have not attended an Intro to Pickleball session, please attend an Intro session before booking a Beginner game play session.

You do not need any previous racket sports experience to attend the Introduction session.

If you have previously played tennis, badminton or squash, you will need to attend an Introduction session before booking a Beginner game play session.

You do not need to own your own paddle for the Introduction, Beginner and Social sessions and Family court hire.

Paddles are provided for you to use at Pickle Hub sessions for players attending the Introduction session, Beginner, Social game play sessions and Family court hire.

Intermediate and Advanced players need to have their own paddles.

Players rotate partners for each game. A great way to meet new people and play with different partners. Games are played to time, rather than to points, ensuring that everyone gets to play an equal amount of court time.

Come by yourself or bring your friends and family to enjoy the fun and excitement of pickleball!

You don’t need to have a pre-arranged playing partner. Enjoy round-robin match play where players rotate partners for each game.

Kids 10 years and older are welcome at Pickle Hub sessions.

Kids 10+ need to attend a Pickle Hub Introduction to Pickleball session before attending game play sessions.

Kids must have an adult family member attend the session with them.

After attending an Introduction session, if kids aged 10+ have enough confidence to play on a court with adults, they can attend a Beginner game play session. Or, you can book a Family Court for your family.

For children younger than 10, you are welcome to book a Family Court at Yeronga on Saturdays or Sundays. Family court hire allows your family to have exclusive use of the court. Players on the family courts do not need to have attended an Introduction to Pickleball session.
