Focus Tennis & Pickleball

Referee assessments are underway at Focus today! 👏🏓

A huge thank you to all of our members who came down to play and help with the assessment process. Your support gives our new referees valuable on-court experience and helps them build the confidence and skills needed for sanctioned events.

We appreciate everyone who took the time to be part of it. Good luck to all of our referee candidates! 💙

We need sponsors - anything will help!
Let’s help get our Queenslanders get to Pickleball World Cup!

🏓 Calling All Businesses & Supporters! 🇦🇺

We’re looking for businesses and individuals who would like to partner with us as sponsors for our Fundraising Queensland World Cup Pickleball Tournament.

✅ Be recognised across our event and social media platforms
✅ Make a genuine difference to our Queensland representatives

Whether you can contribute cash, products, vouchers, or services for prizes, we’d love to hear from you.

What a day for Focus Tennis & Pickleball with 6 Focus players bringing home the medals across two events! 🏆💙

🥇 PPA Junior Tour

A huge congratulations to Josh & Oliver, who claimed Gold in the Junior Doubles!

🥇 Oliver also backed it up by taking out Gold in the Junior Singles — an outstanding achievement!

Unfortunately, Josh had to withdraw from the singles with a minor injury, but the good news is he’ll be back on court before you know it. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Josh! 💪

🥇 D**k Minor League

Congratulations to Team — Shannon, Ricky, Matty & Stacka — who were simply unstoppable!

They took home Gold, not dropping a single match all day, and have now officially qualified for the National D**k Minor League Finals in Melbourne this September. 🔥

We’re incredibly proud of all our Focus players. Your hard work, teamwork and dedication continue to shine on the court.

Congratulations everyone! 💙🎾🏓
