[ Our Mission & Vision ]

To make pickleball the most welcoming sport in Australia — one rally at a time.

We believe sport is at its best when it brings people together. Our mission is simple: remove the barriers to play, build real community, and create spaces where everyone — from first-timers to seasoned competitors — feels like they belong.

We're not just building courts — we're building culture. A culture of fun, friendly competition, connection, and growth. We envision a future where pickleball is a household name across Australia, and House of Pickle is the community at the heart of it all.

[ How It All Began ]

Born from a simple but powerful idea.

House of Pickle was born from a simple but powerful idea: pickleball should be for everyone.

It started with three mates — Ollie Matthews, Bryce Martiskin, and Aaron Lange — who fell in love with the game and saw a massive gap in the Australian market. Ollie, with a background in finance and property development, envisioned welcoming social clubs where the whole community could connect. Bryce brought his experience in sales, technology, and events to build vibrant, partnership-driven venues. Aaron, with his expertise in brand development and digital marketing, shaped the look, feel, and personality of every House of Pickle location.

Together, they took a sport beloved by families and communities around the world and planted it firmly in Australian soil. What started as a vision quickly grew into premium venues, packed social nights, and a buzzing community of thousands.

And we're just getting started.
