Help Shape the Future of Noosa Pickleball Club

Noosa Pickleball Club is growing — and with that growth we have a new subcommittee structure aligned with the four pillars of our Strategic Plan:

GROW | ENGAGE | PLAY | PATHWAYS

These subcommittees will help turn ideas into action, support our volunteers, and make sure the Club continues to grow in a well-organised and inclusive way.

How to Get Involved

We are now inviting members to express interest in joining a subcommittee or helping with specific projects, programs and events.

You do not need previous committee experience. You simply need a willingness to help in a way that suits your time, skills and interests.

By clicking on the links below, you can nominate for:

• Assistant Tournament Director, Noosa Classic 2027 (PLAY)
• Session Hosts (PLAY)
• a subcommittee role with either ENGAGE, PATHWAYS, PLAY 
• a project lead role
• a general member / specialist role
• a volunteer helper role
• one-off event support

How the New Structure Works

Read more in our Subcommittee Tool Kit

Each subcommittee will include up to 7 members, made up of:

Chair or Co-Chairs

The Chair leads the subcommittee, keeps the work moving, and acts as the main point of contact with the Management Committee Liaison.

Project Leads

Project Leads take responsibility for specific initiatives within the subcommittee portfolio.

General Members / Specialists

These members bring skills, ideas and practical support, and may step into project lead roles over time.

Volunteer Helpers

Volunteer helpers support specific tasks, events or projects. You do not need to be an official member of the subcommitee, nor attend subcommittee meetings to help.

This means you can be involved in a way that suits your time, skills and interests.

• help at one event
• support a project for a few weeks
• take on a regular role
• contribute specialist skills
• lead a specific initiative
