Adelaide Pickleball Club is South Australia's first pickleball club, created in 2021.
At Adelaide Pickleball Club, our aim is to develop competitive players and provide a playing environment that develops a high standard of play.
If you already know pickleball, our club is the place to hone your skills. You can enjoy mostly doubles play, and occasional singles play, with a range of different formats and partners to sharpen your pickleball in competitive play.

Weekly Sessions
In 2025 the club plays three social sessions each week based on skill level. We are looking to add more sessions/courts after we have had venue changes since 2024.
1. Advanced/Intermediate Skill Level. Sessions are for players with a club rating of 3.5 or higher. Play is at Mile End Netball Stadium on Thursday nights with eight indoor courts Oct-Mar and four courts Apr-Sep, 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
2. Intermediate and Lower Skill Level. Thursday nights at St John's Grammar School (Belair) with five indoor courts. 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Session is for players with a club rating of 3.749 or lower.
3. All Skill Levels. Play is at Concordia College on Sunday afternoons with six indoor courts, 3pm to 5pm. Sessions are for players of all skill level ratings and play may be segregated by court based on skill level. We will review expanding to 12 courts if player demand is high.
All playing sessions require bookings in advance as there is a player limit on each session. Register for sessions at our Events page. All session payments are via EFTPOS at the venue.
Each two-hour session is $9 for club members and $14 for non-members. Fees are collected using EFTPOS only at sessions. Playing equipment is provided at All Skill and Intermediate and Lower Skill sessions.
Make sure you select sessions that match your club-rated skill level. Use the Pickleball SA Player Rating Guide to assess your own skill. When you play in our club league, or sanctioned tournaments in Australia, your results are recorded and impact your official skill rating.
If you are looking for a purely fun and social session, or at a different location or time, or you are a complete beginner, the club suggests you start out at a session run by Pickleball SA: https://www.pickleballsouthaustralia.org/where-to-play/playing-venues
Competitions and Leagues
In 2024 the club introduced Adelaide Pickleball League.
The league is a short-season (4-week) doubles competition for teams of 4 club member players.
Four seasons of the league were held in 2024, with APL Season 5 arriving in late February 2025.
