It was fantastic to see so many people giving pickleball a go for the very first time. With the support of Pickleball Manningham Club’s volunteer coaches, committee members and friendly players, participants were soon rallying, laughing and enjoying the game. By the end of each session, many were already asking how they could come back and play again.
“I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much! Everyone was so welcoming, and within minutes we were playing games. I’ll definitely be back.” – Come & Try participant
Pickleball Manningham President, Jim Thomson, said the day reflected exactly what the club is all about.
“Pickleball is more than just a sport – it’s about bringing people together. Seeing so many new faces enjoying themselves and supporting one another was wonderful. We hope this is just the beginning of their pickleball journey.”
A big thank you to the many wonderful Pickleball Manningham Club volunteers who generously gave their time to introduce so many new people to the game.
