Central Coast Pickleball Club Woy Woy
341 members
CENTRAL COAST PICKLEBALL WOY WOY (CCPWW) was the first pickleball club to be established on the NSW Central Coast at Woy Woy. Our club has over 180 members who regularly play at our main venue (indoors) at the Peninsula Leisure Centre on 8 courts. Some play is also enjoyed (outdoors) at the local Woy Woy Tennis Centre on 4 courts.
We currently have several scheduled game sessions each week: Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Bookings only accepted via OpenSports for experienced players who are conversant with the rules and scoring. Please read the descriptions on each play day. Ensure you book into the correct session level. Message the ‘host’ if you should have queries.
We welcome experienced players visiting from other clubs and please ask that you:
• Call “ball!” when the ball transgresses to another court and STOP play
• Return the ball to the player with the raised paddle. Don’t kick the ball please
• Wait for a break in play before moving behind the baseline of a game in progress
• We appreciate punctuality and players assisting with the setting up and dismantling of nets
Our play sessions cater for competitive players and experienced proficient social players, but NOT beginners. For anyone who has not played pickleball previously, we ask that you get an introduction from an accredited pickleball coach (e.g. see below), before attending our club sessions.
COACHES:
Any coaching agreement shall be between the player and coach: CCPWW shall not be liable for any claim against the club, committee or its members.

Guideline to Player Levels for booking into our events.
Player levels are not meant to box anyone into one level, this is simply a guideline. A more detailed explanation can be found in the "Announcements" section below.
– First Timers: Never played pickleball before.
– Beginners: If you are just learning the fundamentals of the game, you are a beginner!
– Recreational players: You know how to serve and keep score, and you understand the two bounce and non volley zone rules. You can hit the ball if it comes to you, but with little strategy or control. You may have some mobility problems that keep you from playing in the optimal position.
– Lower Intermediate players: You are beginning to learn the soft game, but you have more success hitting it hard, so that’s what you usually do. Your serving goal is simply to get it in. You have longer rallies due to your athletic ability, but you often choose power over control.
– Upper intermediate players: You have a better ability to see the “whole” court and are placing your shots.
– Advanced Competitive players: You are able to use a variety of shots including lobs, spin, dinks and drive shots with a purpose and at the right time.
