G'day legends, and welcome to the April edition of the Brisbane Bayside Pickleball Club newsletter — the only monthly read guaranteed to contain dinks, drops and good vibes.

We hope you all had a ripper Eater and long weekend.

Our weekly Australian Masters Cup competition continues to bring the heat. Each week, around 34-36 players are lacing their shoes with grim determination, and battling it out on the courts in our clubs Australian Masters Cup competition. The level of play has been absolutely outstanding — the rallies are longer, the dinks are cheekier, and the trash talk is somehow getting classier. Whatever you're all doing, keep doing it.

We have 2 x interclub seasons locked in that'll have us flying the Bayside colours with pride:

- 19 April vs Southside and Wynnum

- 16 May vs Redbank

Interclub is a fantastic opportunity to represent our club, meet players from other communities, and remind everyone in Southeast Queensland who the real deal is.

Until then, keep showing up, keep having a crack, and remember: it's not how you start the rally — it's how graciously you pretend the ball was out when it clearly wasn't.

And as always, see you out on the courts…
