How to Join

Why should I join Pickleball Australia?

We’ve held the vision for pickleball in Australia since the inception of play down under. We’ve built a movement – long before others noticed things were moving. Fuelled by passion and community, we’ve built pathways and partnerships, locally and globally. We’ve transformed unused spaces, dinked in driveways whilst ushering in a new area of facility development, and unstoppable membership growth.

We’ve provided governance, oversight & integrity whilst protecting and nurturing the true spirit and outrageous fun of pickleball. We’ve fostered growth in participation, volunteering, grassroots, social and elite play.

It was tough to take a nation from “What on earth is pickleball?” to “I LOVE pickleball,” but we did it.

We are the heartbeat of this sport in Australia, a diverse and active community supported by robust governance, and professionalism that extends from the very grass roots to the growing elite levels of the sport.

We are the home of Australian pickleball.
