Did you know that the relatively new sport of Pickleball was introduced to New Zealand in 2015, in Rotorua and has spread all over the country.
What was initially introduced to people aged 45 and over, has now been taken up by young and old. I am pleased to say that I have helped Clubs set up all over the country and numerous schools, who have introduced this awesome sport into their sports curriculum.
Outside of Auckland the next biggest Pickleball centre is Tauranga where they have club play almost every day of the week at different venues!!!!
If you are interested in wanting to give it a go all clubs provide beginner equipment for you to use.
