Beyond the Pickledome Tours

What is Pickleball?

1. A fun sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis

2. Played both indoors and outdoors on a badminton sized court with a smaller tennis net

3. Played with a paddle and plastic ball with holes in it

4. Played as doubles, singles, or skinny singles

5. Can be enjoyed by all ages and skill levels

It is a fun, social, friendly sport where the rules are simple, and the game is easy for inexperienced players to learn. For more experienced players it can be fast paced & competitive.

Welcome to Beyond the Pickledome!

What is the Pickledome? A Pickledome is to Pickleball what centre court is to tennis. It is the main court where the championship match is held.

Beyond the Pickledome was created due to the Pickleball community growing rapidly and to offer something new and exciting in the way of Pickleball travel tours to destinations far and wide both in Australia and abroad. Pickleballers are a bunch of enthusiastic, socially dynamic, passionate people who have all grown to love this crazy named sport. I believe by offering Pickleball tours with a fun and engaging recreational style of playing Pickleball will appeal to the many who join their local clubs across Australia for a regular hit.
