Birmingham Pickle is the city's most active club, and this Harborne school hall is one of its three home venues alongside Harborne Academy and BCU's City South campus. Open play runs Monday and Wednesday evenings, Thursday is for intermediate and advanced players, and Saturday afternoons cover introductions and improvers. Coaches are at every session and all equipment is provided.
One of the few Birmingham venues with dedicated pickleball courts rather than taped conversions. The club plays four times a week through spring and summer (Tuesday 6–8pm, Wednesday 1–3pm, Friday 5–7pm and Sunday 10am–12pm) and moves indoors to Bishop Walsh School on Sunday evenings over winter. A proper club atmosphere in Sutton Coldfield.
An indoor tennis centre in south Birmingham where pickleball courts can be booked directly, with racket hire available on site. Indoor courts make it one of the city's reliable year-round options when the club sessions elsewhere don't fit your diary.
A village sports club on Birmingham's southern edge offering pickleball on a pay-and-play basis at £15 an hour plus lighting. Split between four players that's under £4 each, which makes it a good-value option for a regular foursome south of the city.
One of Birmingham Pickle's three venues, a short hop from Harborne High Street. Open play here is pitched at all abilities, with a coach on hand, so a nervous first visit is well catered for.
The university sports facility on Westbourne Road in Edgbaston, the third of Birmingham Pickle's venues. A decent hall a couple of miles from the city centre.
A Sutton Coldfield tennis club with a pickleball court on its newly resurfaced hard court and two club sessions a week. Pickleball-only membership at £50 a year is a bargain by Royal Town standards.
A historic racket club five minutes from Birmingham city centre that now calls itself the home of pickleball in the city, with free twice-weekly socials for members and one of the largest pickleball groups in the West Midlands.
A Kings Norton club founded in 1924 with three floodlit courts and pay-and-play pickleball booked through an app. After-work games made simple.
