Serve Up Some Fun with Pickleball - A Free Holiday Activity for Kids in Childers
Winter School holidays don’t always need a big, expensive plan to feel like a proper break. Sometimes the best days are the ones where kids can try something new, burn some energy, and make a few new friends along the way. Serve up some fun with Pickleball is a free session run by Bundaberg Regional Council, inviting local kids to give this fast-paced racquet game a go. If your child enjoys active games (or you’re looking for something different from the usual park trip), pickleball is a fun, low-pressure way to mix movement with plenty of laughs.
This session is designed for children aged up to 12 years. Pickleball is a quick, easy-to-learn game that combines a bit of tennis, badminton and table tennis played on a smaller court, which makes it great for kids. The focus is on learning the basics, having a hit, and enjoying some simple game play in a friendly group environment. No experience is needed kids just need to turn up ready to try something new.
The session is being held on Tuesday 30 June 2026, running from 9:30am to 12 noon at Isis Club 46 Churchill Street, Childers. It’s free, and the best part for busy families is that no bookings are necessary you can simply bring the kids along on the day.
Activities like this are a quiet win during the holidays. Kids get to move their bodies, practise coordination and teamwork, and build confidence by trying something unfamiliar in a supportive setting. For some children, sport can feel intimidating if it’s too competitive or structured. A “come and try” session like pickleball keeps it light and welcoming, which helps kids feel comfortable joining in. It also encourages social connection whether your child comes with a friend or arrives on their own, games like this create easy ways to meet other kids and feel included.
For parents and carers, it’s also a practical option: it’s local, free, and timed for the morning, which leaves the rest of the day open for other plans or a well-earned quiet afternoon.
