Founded in early 2024 by a group of pickleball friends that saw an opportunity to grow their favourite sport in Geelong, the GPC wants to advance the game of pickleball and is actively encouraging players that are new to the sport, those that enjoy the more social side of pickleball as well as those who want to play more competitively to come and play at our 8 court indoor facility at the Y in Newtown.

The club offers free introductory sessions for players that are new to the game, social sessions where players of all ability can meet - and have a coffee and a chat afterwards, as well as transparently graded intermediate and advanced sessions for players looking to compete at their level of play - you can join us here, or find out more about how we play pickleball.

What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a racketsport blending Tennis, Badminton, Squash and Tabletennis. It has become hugely popular in the last couple of years as it appeals to players of all ages and is easy to learn.

Where do I start?
