We’re thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new program at the Centre – Junior Pickleball Squads! This fun and fast-growing sport is now available for kids aged 8 and up, kicking off in Term 3 with weekly sessions every Tuesday from 5:45pm–6:45pm, starting 22 July.

Pickleball is taking off at The Centre - and for good reason! It’s a fun, engaging, and easy-to-learn sport that blends elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Played on a smaller court with a paddle and lightweight ball, it’s perfect for kids of all abilities.

Why Pickleball Is Great for Kids:

Accessible & Easy to Learn: The rules are simple, and the game is designed to get players into rallies quickly – keeping it fun from the first session.
Builds Physical Skills: Kids will develop hand-eye coordination, agility, balance, and fitness – all while having a blast.
Encourages Teamwork & Social Play: With both singles and doubles formats, Pickleball helps build confidence and social skills in a supportive setting.
Safe & Low Impact: The smaller court and slower ball speed mean kids stay active without overexerting themselves.

About the Program:

Each session includes a balance of skills coaching and game play, allowing kids to learn and practice new techniques before putting them into action in friendly matches.

📍 When: Tuesdays, 5:45pm–6:45pm
📅 Starts: 22 July (Term 3)
📆 Duration: 10-week term
💰 Cost: $200 per child

Whether your child is new to sport or already a keen player, Junior Pickleball Squads are a fantastic way to stay active, make friends, and try something new.
