Bowen Players Shine At Pickleball Tournaments

Bowen Tennis Association is proud to share the success of their pickleball players who competed in the Queensland Pickleball Tour in Townsville on 16th – 18th May and the Yeppoon Pickleball Tournament on 18th – 20th July.

Eleven players – Shane, Jackie, Jason, Asia, Joyce, Jaymie, Rob, Amanda, Hayley, Madden and Chris represented Bowen in doubles and mixed events. Successful players came home with medals, collecting four gold, two silver and three bronze across the two tournaments.

It was a fantastic experience for all involved and a great reflection of the growing pickleball community in Bowen.

Pickleball is played at the courts at Queens Beach alongside tennis, with weekly sessions on Tuesday and Sunday afternoons, and Thursday nights. Coaching is available for newcomers.

If you’ve been curious about pickleball, now is the time to get involved! All ages and abilities are welcome. Go along to a session, or contact Bowen Tennis Association via:
