Pickleball Gains Momentum at Home Hill Tennis Courts

Pickleball is continuing to surge in popularity at Home Hill Tennis, with solid attendance each Tuesday night. The fast-paced sport is drawing both new and seasoned players, including recent additions Noah, Chloe, and Bec, who have quickly adapted and are already making their presence felt on the court.

This week saw 22 players take part in a lively King and Queen of the Court competition. After a series of games with multiple partners, Daniel Walsh emerged as the King, while Amelia Pivotto claimed the title of Queen, showcasing their consistency and skill throughout the night.

Looking ahead, several Home Hill pickleball players are gearing up to compete in the "Double Trouble" tournament in Townsville on 7 September. Best of luck to those representing the club - your efforts are sure to make the community proud!

For anyone looking to join in, pickleball is played every Tuesday at 7pm with a $10 entry fee, and your first session is free. Additionally, you can catch the action on Saturday mornings from 7:30 - 8:30am, followed by a social coffee meet-up at Home Hill News and Coffee. Sunday afternoon games are also held on occasion, so be sure to keep an eye on the Home Hill Tennis Facebook page for updates.

New players are always welcome to jump in and experience the fun!
