Local pickleball champions

The Australian Pickleball Championships were held on 2-7 October at Carrara on the Gold Coast. It was the largest gathering in the southern hemisphere, with over 1,200 competitors of all ages and skills – including those with disabilities. Competitors were from Australia, and international countries including NZ.

Janine Scott played in four events, winning bronze in the 50+ Women's Doubles with her partner Joanne Thomson and a gold medal in the Split Age Women's Doubles with partner

Kate Rorrison. Split age means one person must be over 50yo and one under.

Events are competitive but also extremely social, bringing together communities from many different clubs throughout the country.
