Event and Championship Details
The Australian Pickleball Championship is one of the sport’s biggest events, bringing together players of all ages and abilities. Competitions will feature singles, doubles, mixed doubles, and specialty matches with both local and international athletes.
To celebrate, Collette will host a special event for travel agents on October 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Pimpama Sports Hub in Queensland. The evening includes a friendly pickleball tournament, prizes, and social activities.
A Partnership for Active Travelers,
“Pickleball is the trending sport of choice for active over 50s both in Australia and around the world,”
said Karen Deveson, Collette Australia Managing Director.
“We know that the Collette traveller is both active and curious about the world, so we see this as a valued partnership with Pickleball Australia.
