A new pickleball group in Sunbury is ready to take over the scene.
Pickleball Peanuts is a new social playing group dedicated to playing and promoting the fast-growing sport.
Organiser Steven McNamara said the group offers regular sessions for all skill levels focused on fitness, connection and good vibes, with all equipment provided.
“Its a lot of laughs and great vibes. We’re all community, fun and fitness and that’s the best thing that I find with pickleball is basically you’re exercising, but it’s fun it doesn’t feel like exercise,” he said.
Currently, the group runs sessions three days a week.
On Tuesdays, they run social and Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR) games from 6.30pm to 8pm at the Sunbury Lawn Tennis Club.
On Friday and Sundays, the games are held at Killara Primary School, with Friday a night social session at 6pm to 7.30pm and DUPR from 7.30pm to 9pm.
On Sundays, the sessions run in the morning, with social at 10am to 11.30am and DUPR at 11.30am to 1pm.
The group, just starting out, is welcoming players of all skill levels to join the club, play a match or two have some fun.
“Pickleball is incredibly accessible and it’s made even easier with us providing all the equipment with all you need to get started,” Mr McNamara said.
