Rotto Rackets Sports

Serve up some fun and discover the joy of pickleball on Wadjemup.

Experience the fun and social energy of pickleball at Wadjemup / Rottnest Island, a sport suitable for all ages and abilities.

Rottnest Island is all about unforgettable experiences. Between beach swims, bike rides, and quokka spotting, why not add a friendly game or two of pickleball? It’s the perfect way to keep the good times rolling. 

With courts open from sunrise to sunset, you can start your day with an energising game or wind down after exploring the island. Rotto Rackets Sports offers casual court bookings, coaching sessions, and equipment hire, so everyone can join in.

Never played before? Prepare to be hooked! Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Played on a smaller court with paddles and a perforated ball, it's fun, easy to learn, low-impact, and perfect for beginners and seasoned players alike.

You can find the courts at Bathurst Point near Pinky Beach and are welcome to bring your own gear or hire paddles and balls on-site. Extra balls and merchandise are also available to purchase.

Want to join the community? Create or join a game on Playtomic, or connect through the Rottnest Pickleball WhatsApp Community Group to meet other players and be part of the social pickleball scene on the island.
