Tasmanian Pickleball Championships return to Hobart

The ID Clothing Tasmanian Pickleball Championships 2026 will be held in Hobart from 6 to 8 February, bringing together more than 450 players from Tasmania, interstate and overseas. 

The three-day event will take place at the Hobart Netball and Sports Centre in New Town, using 32 courts split between indoor and outdoor play.  

Players aged between 12 and 87 are registered to compete across singles, skinny singles, gender doubles and mixed doubles.  

Tasmanian player Ange Green will feature in both singles and doubles events.  

Green represented Australia at an international pickleball tournament in the United States last year, where she won one gold and two silver medals. 

Green said returning to compete in Tasmania was significant. 

“This event means a lot to me, as it was the first pickleball tournament I ever played in,” she said.  

“Coming back to the Tasmanian Championships is a chance to reflect on my journey and share the experience with others.” 

Organisers said entries for the championships had increased by almost 40 per cent compared to previous years, reflecting the sport’s rapid growth.  

More than 50,000 individual pickleball games were played in Tasmania over the past 12 months, placing increased demand on facilities across the state. 

Matches will begin daily from 8am with free entry for spectators.
