Pickleball Community Cup – Gawler

Powered by Pickleball Aus & National Pickleball League (NPL)

The Pickleball Community Cup is a new national initiative from Pickleball Aus and NPL. Designed for the amateur player, bringing together the best venues around the country with a focus on quality competition, strong community, and a player experience that goes beyond the court. Each event is built around the clubs and people that make Australian pickleball what it is.

Gawler is the first stop. Three days in South Australia - a Friday evening social competition, gender doubles on Saturday, and mixed doubles on Sunday. Open to players rated under 4.5 DUPR across Beginner, Intermediate, and Intermediate Plus divisions.

This is not a tournament for professionals, rather a celebration of the players that make up every other level of the Australian Pickleball scene.

START TIME MOVED TO 9AM to allow travel!
