About Project Pickleball

Project Pickleball brings Australia's fastest-growing paddle sport to Hughes, on Canberra's south side, with a welcoming, low-pressure approach designed to get complete newcomers rallying within minutes. Based at the North Woden tennis precinct, the operation pairs purpose-set courts with friendly coaching, so first-timers and seasoned players alike can find their level and have fun doing it.

The vibe here is decidedly social. Reviewers consistently describe a relaxed, no-judgement environment where laughter comes easily and skill development happens almost without you noticing. Whether you have never picked up a racket or you are chasing sharper technique and tactics, sessions are tailored to your goals, with plenty of room to challenge yourself or simply enjoy a casual hit with new friends.

Beyond drop-in play, Project Pickleball runs structured pathways from absolute beginner through to competitive league play, plus court hire and corporate group experiences. It is a genuine community hub built around a sport that is easy to learn, hard to put down, and suited to every age and ability across the Canberra region.
