The Spring Social Club is your go-to destination this Spring for Pickleball, pop-up bars, delicious pizza, and endless socialising.

VRC is delighted to introduce the extremely popular sport of Pickleball to Flemington over spring. In collaboration with the National Pickleball League a full-sized pickleball feature court will be set up along the famous Flemington Straight, just past the Winning Post.

Get ready to experience the fun and excitement of Pickleball, a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Played on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net, players use a paddle and a plastic perforated hollow ball. It's heaps of fun and perfect for all ages!

Test your skills on the full-sized Pickleball court or enjoy competitive play for all ages on one of two mini-sized courts. No gear? No worries, you can grab all your pickleball play equipment at the Pickleball Pro Shop, in the heart of The Spring Social Club.
