In The Media

Pickle What?

Our Club featured in the November 2021 issue of the Pittwater Life magazine. A reporter (Steve Meacham) saw us playing on the Avalon outdoor courts and was keen to explain to puzzled readers what this sport is all about. The article is titled “Avalon in a surreal ‘pickle'”. Click on the image below to learn about the origin of pickleball and how it all began on the Northern Beaches.
