Welcome to Avalon Beach Pickleball, Sydney NSW


The Avalon Beach Pickleball Association, located in Sydney, is a non-profit organisation led by dedicated volunteers. Our primary objective is to foster a lively and welcoming atmosphere, dedicated to advancing the sport of pickleball on the scenic Northern Beaches of Sydney, NSW, Australia. We extend a warm invitation to players of all ages to join us in our pursuit of pickleball excellence (subject to the Club's Health and Safety Policy). A dedicated host is assigned to coordinate each of our pickleball sessions. This appointment ensures an equitable rotation of partners, promoting a dynamic and inclusive playing environment.

Introductory lesson

New to Pickleball?

To ensure a smooth and seamless experience for all, our Club has implemented a policy that requires new players to attend an Introductory Lesson and a Beginner Trial session before participating in regular sessions. This approach is designed to provide them with the necessary foundation and to ensure that they learn the game correctly, while also minimising any potential disruptions during regular play.
Pickleball, often compared to a strategic game of chess, offers a unique blend of simplicity and complexity. While it is easy to learn, reaching mastery requires dedication and practice.

 

Played Pickleball Before?

If you have prior experience playing pickleball and are confident with the rules and scoring, you are welcome to play with our Club on one occasion. We are happy to discuss with you the possibility of joining our Club after you have played with us.
