Pickleball Whitsunday

Wiffle balls, wiffle balls and more wiffle balls were the case on Saturday morning with three courts of action.

Sheridan and Demi played on Saturday morning and again on Thursday afternoon, with every game the girls developing their skills.

Saturday mornings to get their weekly fix of the game, players travel from as far as Bloomsbury and Bowen, with even Gary from Sydney stopping by on Thursday afternoon for a match.

Two top hints for Pickleball: first, watch the ball – that may sound funny, but make sure you’ve got your eyes so peeled for the ball you can count the holes on it.

Second: Play it safe and be consistent, let your opponent make the mistake – focusing on your rallies is the aim of the game.

Are you up for a new sport? Then paddle up at 4:30pm Thursday Afternoons, and 7:00am Saturday Mornings.
