Riverwood Social Pickleball invites families and teens to try one of the fastest-growing court sports in a welcoming, social setting. Held at the Morris Iemma Indoor Sports Centre, sessions are suited to beginners through to regular players and are a great way for school-aged kids and parents to get active together. Parents will appreciate the structured, friendly environment and clear information about times, pricing and equipment.
What to Expect
Expect relaxed, social sessions that blend basic skill practice with friendly matches. Coaches or centre staff set up simple drills and rotate players so everyone gets game time; it’s ideal for kids building hand-eye coordination and parents wanting low-pressure exercise.
You’ll see a mix of ages and abilities, with adults and teens playing together. The focus is on fun, fitness and community—perfect for middle-aged parents looking for an after-school or weekend activity their children can enjoy safely.
There’s onsite paddle hire if you need equipment, plus multi-visit passes for regular families. Sessions run with clear off-peak and peak pricing so you can plan affordable play and pack this into a weekly routine.

Important Information
All participants must register prior to attending and follow centre rules for safety and court etiquette. Players under 16 require a playing adult to accompany them on court to ensure supervision and a positive experience for everyone.
The program runs throughout 2026 with regular social sessions and special events; notably, the next Knockout Tournament is scheduled for Saturday 2026-02-21—an excellent goal for families who want a slightly more competitive outing. Keep an eye on registration deadlines for tournament entry.
Wear comfortable court shoes and clothing, bring water and arrive a few minutes early to sign in. Parents should note that passes are non-transferable for peak times and that paddle hire is available for convenience.
Booking and Prices
Bookings are made through the City of Canterbury-Bankstown registration portal; look for "Register Here for social pickleball sessions 2026" on the MIISC or council events page. Advance booking secures a spot and helps parents plan around school and work commitments.
Casual pricing and passes offer flexible options: pay per visit for occasional sessions or buy a 10- or 20-visit pass if you plan regular play. Passes are valid for 12 months from purchase, making them a good value for active families.
If you’re aiming for the tournament on 2026-02-21, register early as knockout events have limited spots. For questions about bookings, passes or paddle hire, check the event listing on the council website or contact the centre directly.
