What's Pickleball?

Australia's fastest growing sport.

A fast-paced game played with a plastic paddle and a "whiffle ball" — super social, beginner friendly, approachable, and oh — did we say addictive?

Easy to learn All ages Low impact Wildly social Highly addictive

Hi, I'm Jieyi(Jay-ee)

With 20+ years of tennis experience and currently ranked top 3 in SA for pickleball, I'm the person behind The Social Pickle. I started this community because I wanted to create something Adelaide didn't have yet — a space where pickleball is more than a sport.

It's friendships forming on the courts, coffee runs after sessions, and a group of people who genuinely look forward to weekend mornings. We're here to play hard, laugh harder, and build something that lasts.

From the community

Such a wholesome start to Sunday mornings!

T.R.
Sunday regular

Best place ever! Found a great pickleball community. It was my first time trying pickleball but JJ taught us all the rules and coached us on the beginner court. A very beginner friendly place for people wanting to try out this sport for the first time and meet new people <3

Everyone is so friendly, a very addicting sport — had a good yarn after, and the sweet treats & coffees are definitely a bonus too!
