Pickleball coaching, above the city
Whether you have never held a paddle or you are chasing a better third shot, our coaches will get you there — on open-air rooftop courts minutes from the CBD.

Small-group clinics with an NPL player
Play Pickle has partnered with Elevate Pickleball to run coaching clinics led by a National Pickleball League athlete. Each clinic pairs coaching with gameplay, so you build consistency, court awareness and better decision-making — and then use them straight away.
Delivered in small groups, graded so you are working with players at your level.
One to four players, entirely on your game
The fastest way to improve. Sessions run by the hour for one to four players and are built around whatever you want to fix — stroke mechanics, serve, third shot, court positioning.
From $130 per hour, 1–4 players
Programs and clinics are booked in the Play Pickle app
Programs change between venues and seasons, so the app shows what is currently running at Broadway. For private coaching, get in touch instead.

Stop hiring a paddle — get your own
Hiring works for a first hit, but once you are playing regularly it adds up fast — and a paddle you know is worth far more than one you borrow. The Play Pickle shop has paddles, balls and gear delivered across Australia.

Coaching questions
Still not sure where to start? Ask us — pointing people to the right session is most of the job.
I have never held a paddle. Where do I start?
Start with a beginner program or an Introduction to Pickleball session. Both assume no experience whatsoever.
What is the difference between a clinic and a coaching program?
Our Elevate clinics are small-group sessions led by a National Pickleball League athlete, focused on carrying skills into real match play. Group coaching programs are ongoing and graded beginner to advanced, building your game step by step.
How do I book coaching at Broadway?
Group programs and clinics are booked through the Play Pickle app. For private coaching, get in touch and we will match you with a coach.
Which programs run at the rooftop, and when?
Programs and times change between venues and seasons. The Play Pickle app lists what is currently running at Broadway — filter to this venue to see the schedule.
Do you provide equipment?
Paddles are available to hire on site if you need one, so you only need court shoes and water — though your own paddle from the shop is worth it once you are playing regularly.
