In conjuction with a council event at the Pump Track Friday 20th September 9am to 2pm we are doing a BBQ and having a come and try day.
Please register your interest in being a volunteer for our upcoming come and try day.
Funds raised will go to improving the club’s facilities plus building the club’s memberships.
Next event: 3rd November 9am to 12pm
With 15 dedicated outdoor Pickleball courts Hervey Bay is hosting the largest King of the Court (Ladder) in Australia!
Pencil in the first Sunday of the month for hours of games ranging from beginners to medal winning open players, followed by an optional lunch and drink at the Clubhouse Hervey Bay.
In time we can expand to two sessions to accommodate more players, for now capacity is strictly limited at 60 players so register ASAP to secure your spot!
How it works is simple:
This format gives you the opportunity to play different people at a similar skill level, as you move downwards you’ll win and jump back up, as you move upwards you’ll play better players and drop down.

Please register your interest to volunteer. Our Bunnings BBQ’s are a valuable fundraiser. Funds go towards improving the club’s facilities such as court surfacing, more permanent nets, and promotion to gain new members. Assistance by members is running each BBQ is greatly appreciated!
Next order will be placed with supplier 3pm on the 30th of August 2024.
Please do not contact the supplier directly as they will not process individual orders 😀
A great social day of pickleball followed by lunch with new found friends from Maryborough, Woodgate & Hervey Bay. One lucky participant chosen randomly will get their playing fees back! We’ll also run a $100 board.
Social Pickleball 8.30am to 12.30pm, followed by lunch at The Clubhouse (Hervey Bay Golf Club) at 1.00pm. Order off the menu.
There will be “rounds” so players shuffled. You can record 3 points for a win, 2 points for a loss less than 5 points, 1 point for loss over 5. The person with the most points at the end gets the major prize of … bragging rights 😎 There will be some byes per player so it’s not 4 hours straight of game-time.
Spots are limited for capacity and very likely to sell out so please register asap, registration is required no turn-ups on the day.
Hervey Bay Remaining Tickets: 4
Maryborough Remaining Tickets: 1
Woodgate Remaining Tickets: 0
8th June Regional Meet Read More »
Tuesday 9th July to 10th September – 10 weeks.
There is a lot of text below for new players to make sure all possible questions are answered, rest assured it’s simple 🙂
For the first night if you are available please come 30 minutes early so plenty of time to setup a net, meet your team, ask any questions and warm up before games.
For usual nights please arrive 15 minutes before to setup nets if you’re on a court without a permanent net. Unlike social everyone starts together so please make sure you’re on court warming up by 6pm.
Games
The teams are ranked from 1-4.
All matches are doubles and 3 games per combination.
1 and 4 will play 1 and 4 on one court, while 2 and 3 play 2 and 3 on the other court.
1 and 2 play while 3 and 4 play, then lastly 1 and 3 play while 2 and 4 play.
You’ll play your opposite number all night who will be a similar level, with one partner swapping for a variety of different skilled games.
Please note your teams court allocation as it changes each week
Scoring
Write down the scores of each game into the corresponding sports on the scorecard. Do this each game otherwise you will forget!!
At the end of the night tally the amount of wins.
The wins each week add to your season score. Simply, the team with the most wins by season end is the winner!
Finals
For the finals it will be 1 v 2, 3 v 4. For B grade, 5 v 6 also.
Should the final week unfortunately be rained out, the ladder will remain as-is.
Reserves
If you know future dates you are away please let Matt know so reserves can be scheduled in advance.
If you can’t play this week a reserve will be organised for you as similar skill level as reserve availabilities allow.
If you have a reserve already arranged at a suitable level that is fine, just let us know in advance.
If your team is short a player those games are forfeited so will lose points plus have only half a night of games due to missing team mates, please don’t let them down by leaving a reserve request to the last minute!
Rain
If it rains the week is skipped unfortunately. No team receives any points including the bye team.
$10 a week for club members, $12 a week for non members. Membership information.

Appreciated if everyone can arrive on-time for the day and be ready so we aren’t starting late.
Any clear weather impacts will be announced on Facebook + emailed to those who registered (so pass onto team mates), otherwise if unclear we’ll make a call at 7am day of looking at courts & radar. We cancelled our come & try in April because “100% chance of 40mm”, it rained around midnight, was perfect all day, then rained again at night. While they were ‘technically correct’ it’s not as simple as it’s going to rain or not🤦♂️
We have: Courts, balls, shade, seating, water, toilets, cold drinks for sale (coke & a few other soft drinks, water, sports drinks), sanitiser, Domino’s for lunch
You need: Hat, shoes, sunscreen, water bottle, comfy camp chairs if you want a guaranteed seat all day, snacks etc
8:45am – Warm ups and mark attendance
9:20am – Briefing, clipboard given to captains for scoring, find your courts, continue free play
If you want to be a sub (i.e. yes gimme any game available!) please let us know during registration so we can mark you down.
If you start getting tired or want more break, please let the admin desk know with some notice, and we can get a sub assigned to your team to help out when they’re available.
The format is relatively simple. Each team has 4 players, meaning each ‘match’ has 2 games to be played. You have 3 possible partners, so you can play all games with the same partner, or a few with each. You can alternate between gender doubles, mixed doubles… it really doesn’t matter.
This means every round you’ll have a game and a break.
The ladder is optional, some people are very competitive, others couldn’t care less. There are no prizes simply bragging rights on the line.
If both teams are participating in the ladder, at any point during the game you can agree on the winner and swap partners until the siren goes. Being such diversity there are going to be same games that are mismatches, do not play out to 25 – 2 or anything ridiculous… unless beatings float their boat in which case 😎
If only one team is participating in the ladder, simply write down a W (win) before you begin. Play any match-ups you want.
If there is a tie when the siren goes, it’s golden point. The next point is played as usual and the winner gets the W.
On your scoresheet simply write W (win) and – (loss or not participating in ladder). No need for the scores. If you want to do your own DUPR thing on the side feel free.
The morning pools have been spread out so different regions play each other as little as possible.
The results from the morning will decide the afternoon smaller pool, that way to bring it home the skill levels will be relatively close.
9:30am – BEGIN OF MORNING POOLS

Everyone has submitted their pizza preferences. We are bulk ordering garlic breads and pizzas which will be put out on a few tables, while you’re welcome to have some variety, if you can eat majority what you ordered that will save anyone missing out. There will be 1/2 to 3/4 of a pizza person which should be plenty.
There are a few dietary special orders which will put be aside.
While we’re trying to keep it simple there are two extra options available, pay on the day:
– If you want a whole pizza rather than sharing it’s $2 for value, $4 for traditional/value max
– If you have a non-playing partner wanting to have lunch it’s $5 to share or $7 for your own value, $9 for own traditional/value max
Both of these can be added during morning registration as we’ll provide Domino’s the list in advance so they can prepare the bulk order.
1pm – AFTERNOON POOLS
If you don’t wish to participate in the ladder it’s no problem, in the morning you’ll be at the bottom ‘excluded’ so simply entering Pool 4 and possibly 3 in the afternoon with teams doing the same thing.
In the very likely event there is a tie of wins within a morning pool, the ‘higher team’ will be the one that won that match up. If it’s tie between multiple times, if you are happy to be randomly decided with a coin toss we’ll do that. If you really care, you can select 2 players from your team, to a first to 5 play off against the tied team during lunch so the afternoon draws can be created in time. You’ll have just as much fun whichever way and there’s nothing on the line so 😀
| POOL ONE | POOL TWO | POOL THREE | POOL FOUR |
| Top 2 of Morning Pool One | 3 & 4 of Morning Pool One | 5 & 6 of Morning Pool One | 7 & 8 of Morning Pool One |
| Top 2 of Morning Pool Two | 3 & 4 of Morning Pool Two | 5 & 6 of Morning Pool Two | 7 & 8 of Morning Pool One |
| Top 2 of Morning Pool Three | 3 & 4 of Morning Pool Three | 5 & 6 of Morning Pool Three | 7 & 8 of Morning Pool One |
That totals 12 official games per player against 11 unique teams.
Finish time approx 3 to 3:30pm.
We are happy for any players wishing to stay back and play their own games until sunset.

Hervey Bay vs Bundaberg battle it out again to claim bragging rights as the best club in the region!
Games will be a mixture of round robin Hervey Bay vs Bundy players, with winning scores being tallied towards each club. On the day each player will be ranked, and will play their opposite number with a variety of opponents. Likely format will be 1-10 ranked players, 11-20 players, all mixed up. So for example 1+6 HB vs 1+6 Bundy. 2+9 HB vs 2+9 Bundy. Will make sure everyone has a few hours of well matched games so whether you’re semi-pro or starting out you’ll have a good time!
The winner will be the club with the most wins.
Sausage sizzle included.
