Before we start your application to become a member of the Geelong Pickleball Club, we want to check whether you may also want to become a member of Pickleball Victoria at the same time.

The Geelong Pickleball Club Inc. is affiliated with Pickleball Victoria (PV), and you can become a Pickleball Victoria member via your Geelong Pickleball Club Inc. membership.

If you are not already a PV member through another club or directly with PV, we encourage you to consider becoming a member of Pickleball Victoria.

The membership fee charged by Pickleball Victoria is exactly what PV charges for their annual membership (currently $60/year for Adults and $47.50/year for Seniors (65+) and Juniors (<18yo)) as GPC's Starter annual membership is currently free of charge!

The PV membership also makes you a member of Pickleball Australia (PA) and gives you a National Member ID (provided by Pickleball Australia), which is a mandatory requirement if you want to play in any sanctioned pickleball tournament.

It also gives you access to Personal Injury insurance (coverage Australia-wide at PAA/ PV affiliated clubs and PV Sanctioned Events), gives you access to Member-Only Discounts from Affiliated Businesses, Sponsors, Venues, Coaches, and Suppliers and generally enables you to play at interstate clubs as a guest. Finally, your PV memberships supports the development and growth of Pickleball as a sport through a range of initiatives run by both PV and PA.

If you decide that you want to become a Pickleball Victoria Member, you can register here. Make sure you select Geelong Pickleball Club on both the first and the second page of the registration to ensure that your membership is linked to GPC and you are not charged more than the Pickleball Victoria membership fee

If you are really into Pickleball and want to maximise the places you can play ay, you may become (or already are!) a members of more than one club. Keep in mind that when you renew your PV membership, you can currently only select one club as your club. If the club you select there charges an annual membership fee (currently Torquay charges $10, Drysdale $25, and Queenscliff $10, while Ocean Grove like Geelong have a free membership category and don't add anything to the PV fee), that club membership fee will be added to the Pickleball Victoria membership fee ($60 for Adults, $47.50 if you're classed as a Senior (65+) or Junior (< 18)), and you are then paying the club membership and the PV membership in one payment.
Any other clubs you may also be a member of will then chase their club membership fee (if there is one) directly with you.
