Welcome to PCYC Port Macquarie Pickleball. We operate out of the new PCYC Port Macquarie which opened in April 2024. The centre has 8 indoor pickleball courts and is wheelchair accessible. The centre also offers a great range of facilities including; tea, coffee, snacks and cold drinks to purchase, free filtered water stations, and change rooms with toilets and showers. We run regular weekly sessions where we cater for all players in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Our demographic of players is broken up into 6 groups: **Come and Try (Beginners)** - Players who are new to pickleball (including coming from other racquet sports). These players MUST complete 2 come and try sessions before moving into our social sessions. **Novice** - For players who **ARE NOT INTERMEDIATE B** or above. It involves players who come out of come and try, players who were previously ranked as 'social' or 'novice'. Access is blocked to all players INT B or higher. **Social** - Open to **ALL PLAYERS.** This session is for players who want to test themselves against higher level players, and for those high-level players to have more of a social hit (with family and friends). Please note this is a SOCIAL SESSION where rallies and even playing is encouraged. This session still requires proper rotation etiquette; **there are to be no groups staying on the one court avoiding playing with anyone else.** **Intermediate B** - Emerging pickleball players who often come from competitive backgrounds in other racquet sports. Players at this level have no trouble scoring or the rules and have started in leagues and comps. **Intermediate A** - Experienced pickleball players who train for comps and tournaments. They can create pace, spin, and control to their shots as well as apply strategies. **Advanced** - Strictly 3.5+ DUPR. New players and visitors are always welcome. All equipment is provided. Please wear appropriate sports attire and court shoes. (Running shoes are not recommended.) PLEASE NOTE: Players must have a current PCYC NSW annual membership which is $15 for juniors (under 18) and $30 for adults.
