PlayStayPickle’s second tour is in the book. Let’s review what we got done in the first 24 hours.


All set yo fly.


Show bags packed & ready to go.

Prepped for our first bootcamp session.


Brad meets the crew.


Even though it’s 23 degrees Brad makes us warm-up!

Now that’s how you slide to those wide d***s.

Richard working on his step-back-d***s.

Hey, we still look pretty fresh after two & a half hours of pickleball.

Lunch comes with a view at the boat club.


The best way to prepare for our second pickleball session of the day.

Thanks to Neil for running the Monday night social comp.


Jackie & Greg get to the kitchen & get the point!

Margie & Ian get their revenge.

Well who wouldn’t be smiling playing pickleball outdoors on a perfect 20 degree still night?

Van unleashes another super slice serve.

New best friends.

Joy & Owen finally get a win!

The best way to finish a big day of pickleball is pool-side, with noodles & beer.

Next stop Thailand. If you’d like to join the fun, hit the link in our bio.

🎾 QPT Hervey Bay Tournament Weekend!

Over the weekend, six players from the Hervey Bay Pickleball Tour took part in the QPT Hervey Bay tournament.

Competition was tough, and the weather certainly didn’t make it any easier — it was hot, windy and challenging! 🥵💨

Despite the conditions, we had a fantastic time. We won some sets, lost a few close ones, and probably lost more than we won! 😂 But that’s what it’s all about — getting out there, having fun, challenging ourselves, meeting new people and making new friends along the way.

A huge thank you to the Hervey Bay Pickleball Club for putting on such a great tournament and for making everyone feel so welcome. 👏

We had a ball and can’t wait to do it all again.

See you next year! 🏓💪🎉

Day 3 of the Hervey Bay Pickleball tour started with a whale watching trip where we saw around 30 whales and multiple breaches and tail flicks.

We then headed back to the Hervey Bay Pickleball Club for a social hit with our new Queensland friends and fellow pickleball fanatics.

Big shoutout to Chris from Hervey Bay Shuttle Services for being our designated driver for the week. He was fantastic!

Day 1 of the Hervey Bay Pickleball tour was lots of fun

We started the day with a coaching bootcamp session with Pickleball coaching and worked on our d***s, third shot drops and resets.

After a break to have lunch and relax, we returned to Hervey Bay Pickleball Club in the early evening and had a great night playing King of the Court against other interstate and local players.

Can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow.
