Our Mission and Vision

The word Pickleball is now often in social conversation and the game has been described in the recent times as “the fastest growing sport in Australia”. Pickleball courts, clubs and leagues have surfaced all over Australia, with an estimated 20,000 actively playing the game in 2023 (click here) with the numbers rapidly increasing each year.

At Clifton Hill Tennis Club we believe that pickleball has the potential to become the most popular sport in the world because it is suitable for any age group (from children through to seniors). Pickleball, whether played competitively or recreationally, allows the participants (both families and individuals) to be physically active which contributes to creating a healthy community. Most of all, it is an enjoyable way to meet and interact with other people. The game of pickleball is easy to learn and requires very little financial outlay to get started.

If you are looking for a friendly and active pickleball venue with good facilities and great pickleball programs within the City of Yarra (Abbotsford, Alphington, Burnley, Carlton North, Clifton Hill, Collingwood, Cremorne, Fairfield Fitzroy, Fitzroy North, Princes Hill and Richmond), why not come and check us out?
