Avalon Beach Pickleball Association Inc.

Organisation and promotion of the sport of pickleball

Sponsorship Benefits

Sponsorship benefits are generous. We will recognise your business in several places on our website, signage and printed leaflets.

Pickleball is a cross between tennis, table-tennis and badminton and was invented in Seattle, USA, 50 years ago.  Millions of Americans now play regularly, from primary school kids to active octogenarians.  Pickleball is played in over 50 countries and is expected to become an Olympic sport in 2028. 

The sport first reached Queensland in 2017. It is played at many venues around Sydney, including the CBD, Five Dock, Ryde, Hornsby, Wahroonga, Riverwood and the Rocks, as well as Newcastle, Nambucca Heads and Tamworth. It hit the Northern Beaches (at Dee Why and Avalon) in March 2019.
