The game is for everyone. 💙
Something people often don't realise about us: Arena Pickleball is part of Rodney Green Arenas, a registered charitable trust. We're here for the game and the people who play it.
Every dollar you spend with us goes straight back into better courts, more programmes and sport that gives back across Hawke's Bay.
First time holding a paddle? Perfect.
Playing socially with mates? Come on down.
Chasing your next tournament? Bring it on.
Already play at another club? You're still welcome here.
All ages, all abilities, all welcome. 🏓

THURSDAY NIGHT PICKLEBALL

We’re incredibly lucky to have Jordan and Lizzie as part of our team — and even luckier to have two New Zealand pickleball representatives sharing their knowledge and experience on our courts every Thursday night!

Jordan and Lizzie are not only talented players, they’re also fantastic at introducing beginners to the game. Their friendly, supportive approach to coaching makes it easy to learn the basics, ask questions, build confidence and, most importantly, enjoy getting on court.

Whether you’ve never picked up a paddle before or you’re looking to strengthen your game, they’ll meet you at your level and help you take that next step.

From 4.30pm–7.30pm every Thursday, they’ll be on court offering friendly, practical training and support for all levels.

New to pickleball?
Learn the basics, understand the rules and scoring, and build your confidence on court with plenty of support along the way.

Want to improve your game?
Pick up top tips, work on your technique and learn from Jordan and Lizzie’s experience on court.

Already playing?
