As per Tennis Australia's media release, pickleball is played by 52 million players worldwide, making it one of the fastest-growing sports for all ages and abilities. It combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis and is played with paddles and a perforated ball on a smaller court.
"We're thrilled to welcome the Australian pickleball community for an unforgettable weekend of high-energy matches, exciting off-court activations and giveaways, along with a chance to showcase pickleball on one of the best arenas the sport has seen," Tennis Australia Head of Game Expansion Callum Beale said.
