Welcome to Sydney's Northern Beaches Pickleball Association!


The Northern Beaches Pickleball Association is a non-profit association in Sydney which is run by volunteers. Our aim is to provide a fun and friendly environment in which to promote the game of pickleball on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, NSW, Australia. We have over 100 members from Palm Beach to Manly and all over Sydney and surrounds, making us the largest pickleball club in Sydney and NSW. Players of all ages and experience are welcome to join us.

Interstate and overseas visitors are most welcome, but please book a spot through Meetup or contact us. If you can spare the time, please join us for coffee and a chat after the sessions.


Free First Timer Introductory Sessions


Why not join one of our regular ‘first-timer, never played before introductory beginner pickleball sessions’? No racquet sports experience is required. It’s simple and easy to learn – and you’ll be playing in minutes!

COVID-19 Update - 15 December 2021

Good news!! We are back to our normal session schedule. However, if you feel unwell in any way or have been identified as being a close contact, please do not come to a pickleball session.


Pickle What?

Our Club features in this month's 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.

P.S. The featured photo was not my choice!

Sydney Pickleball Venues

We encourage our members to play at some of the other pickleball venues in Sydney occasionally to meet other picklers and to gain experience. You will be most welcome there, as are players from other Sydney venues and interstate and overseas visitors welcomed by us. The social aspect of pickleball is as important as the physical benefits!

In Sydney pickleball is currently being played in Avalon, Beacon Hill, Dee Why, Five Dock, Hornsby, Putney, Ryde, Sydney City and Toongabbie. Our Northern Beaches Club is the largest in Sydney and in New South Wales.
