About This Event
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, it brings 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.
Mooloolaba is the second stop: three days in Queensland — a Friday evening social competition, gender doubles on Saturday, and mixed doubles on Sunday. It is open to players rated under 4.5 DUPR across Beginner, Intermediate and Intermediate Plus divisions.
This is not a tournament for professionals, but a celebration of the players who make up every other level of the Australian pickleball scene.
Entry fees
- First event: $80
- Second event: $40
Players may enter only one division per day. Saturday and Sunday matches count towards DUPR; the Friday five-point pickle team event does not.
