The short answers. Anything else, message Tim on LinkedIn.
- When do you play?
- Founders, Execs and Investors play Wednesdays, 7:30–8:30am. Tech plays Tuesdays, 6:00–7:30pm. Same venue, every week.
- I’ve never played. Is that OK?
- Yes. It’s 100% beginner friendly and there’s no expectation about skill level.
- Do I need a paddle or any gear?
- No. Paddles and balls are provided.
- Is it competitive?
- No, it’s not a league. It’s social play with organic networking: a friendly game with people in your field. Usually around 8 to 12 people come to a session.
- Where do we play?
- House of Pickle, Darling Harbour, outdoors on the event deck at ICC Sydney, Level 4/14 Darling Dr, Sydney NSW 2000.
- Is there parking?
- We suggest parking at the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre, or on the street near the corner of Pyrmont Street and Quarry Street. From there, the back entrance over the light-rail footbridge is the quickest way in (see “How do I get there?”).
- How do I get there?
From Pyrmont Street (the back entrance, easiest if you’ve parked nearby): take the stairs at the corner of Quarry Street and Pyrmont Street (next to TransDev), walk along the footbridge over the light rail, then take the stairs or lift up to House of Pickle.
From Darling Harbour: go to the corner of TikTok Theatre and Dancers’ Alley near Tumbalong Park, take the escalator up, walk about 20 metres straight ahead, then take the second escalator on your left. You’ll arrive at House of Pickle.
- Are there showers?
- There are showers in the ICC car park, but not at House of Pickle itself.

- $15.50 a session for Founders, Execs and Investors, and $17.50 for Tech. Paddles and balls are included. Tickets are on Luma (Founders, Tech).
- Do I need to book?
- Yes, tickets for every session are on Luma. Founders and Tech are open to all: get your ticket before you come (Founders, Tech). Execs and Investors sessions are private events on Luma: request to join, and once you’re in you’ll get the ticket link for each session.
- Do I have to come every week?
- No. Each group plays at the same time every week (Founders, Execs and Investors Wednesdays, 7:30–8:30am; Tech Tuesdays, 6:00–7:30pm), so just book the sessions that suit you.
- Can I bring a friend?
- Yes, for Founders and Tech: send them the ticket link for the next session (Founders, Tech). Execs and Investors sessions are private, so ask them to request to join on this site first.
- What if I can’t make it?
