Last Sunday’s Kids Pickleball Day at the Lakes Entrance Tennis Club was an outstanding success, with local youths flocking to the venue to try the fast-growing sport.
Club president and coach Mike Spruzen, alongside a group of enthusiastic volunteers, provided expert guidance on pickleball techniques, sparking a great sense of camaraderie and friendly competition throughout the day.
The free session offered the perfect opportunity for local children to experience firsthand a sport that has quickly become one of the fastest-growing pastimes in the country.
Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, making it highly accessible, fast-paced, and easy for beginners to pick up.
Club organisers were delighted with the strong turnout of families who took the opportunity to see what the fuss was all about.
Following the overwhelming success of the open day, the Lakes Entrance Tennis Club has confirmed the permanent inclusion of junior pickleball on its official schedule, with further details to be released soon.
