Das Packhaus – Marxergasse 24, 1030 Vienna will become the meeting point for everyone who wants to discover pickleball on 23 February 2026, between 4:30 pm and 7:00 pm. Pickleball is movement, fun & community. We will present the BMWKMS-funded project “She Plays Pickleball“, which develops dedicated offers for women aged 50+. Everyone who wants to do sports in a pleasant atmosphere is welcome at the kickoff – regardless of gender, age and athletic ability.
Pickleball is easy to learn, gentle on the joints, and suitable for all ages.
As easy as table tennis – but your whole body gets involved!
Pickleball basics for everyone, anywhere
We bring pickleball to you: On small courts (“kitchen courts”), you can play almost anywhere. For this, courts measuring 4 × 6 meters are marked out and separated by a net. This way, everyone can give it a try with no barriers to entry! Pickleball can be played on any hard surface – indoors or outdoors: sports halls, parquet floors, asphalt, or other paved sports areas. “She Plays Pickleball” aims to establish pickleball across Austria and make a sustainable contribution to equality, health, and social participation.
