Come and try the fastest growing sport in Australia at Samford – Pickleball a mixture of badminton, table tennis and tennis create a sport that’s fun for everyone
Zak, who founded Samford Pickleball off the back of his tennis centre Samford Valley Tennis said this practical paddle sport that you can learn in minutes, and play for a lifetime is accessible to everyone from all walks of life.
‘All of our new players can play a match within about 20 minutes of practice, and now enjoy our round robin match play sessions twice a week,’ said Zak.
‘Pickleball is more versatile than tennis where you can have four players of different skill levels enjoy a competitive match – unlike tennis where the skill levels need to be similar. The rallies are generally longer, while still being less physically demanding compared to other racket sports,’ said Zak.
Along with their match play sessions, Zak runs occasional training sessions where players can improve their skills to prepare players for the many Pickleball tournaments held throughout the year. The next training session will be held at River City Classic, Shaw Park on the 25th and 26th June.
