Participating venues

The VPL is a multi-venue competition. Teams represent their home venue, and fixtures rotate home and away across the network — so every season brings players from across Victoria through each facility.

Own or manage a venue? How to join

Additional venues may be admitted to the competition before the VPL confirms the final season structure and fixture.

Agreement terms

To join, a venue must be affiliated with Pickleball Victoria. The agreement runs for 12 months from signing and covers every season in that time. It renews for another 12 months unless either side gives 60days’ notice, and your place in each season within it is guaranteed while you meet its terms.

Court-hire rates and the season registration fee are agreed with each venue in its Participating Venue Agreement. Talk to us for the details.
