Home Hill Pickleball numbers continue to rise. Over the weekend, club members headed up to Townsville to participate in a Queensland Pickleball Tournament. While the opposition were consistent and quick at the net, all the players did some learning and had a great time. Debbie Tait came home with a silver medal in the mixed doubles and Hannah Casswell a silver in the open ladies’ doubles. The club is looking forward to hosting the Cane Country Cup, a mixed doubles team event on Sunday 8th June.
For those new to the sport of pickleball, it is a fun, fast moving, social and easy to play game. It is played with a light paddle and a whiffle ball on a small court. The point is started with an underarm serve. The club has paddles to borrow, and the first trail week is free. Pickleball is regularly played on Tuesday nights from 6.45 pm and Saturday mornings from 7.30 am. It is sometimes played on Thursday afternoons and Sunday afternoons as well. New players are welcome.
On Tuesdays the club will be starting a “Pickle Kids” program for kids aged 10 – 15 years. The club was recently successful in gaining a grant for through the Australian Sports Foundation and Hart Sport for extra equipment to support these sessions. The kids will learn skills through games and playing matches. It is an awesome, affordable option at just $35 for five weeks. Sessions will be from 6 – 6:45 under lights. Be sure to register your child by emailing homehilltennis@gmail.com.au as spaces are limited! We are also thankful to the Queensland Government for supporting this program to enable Queenslanders to participate in sport and recreation activities.
