About Aussie Pickleball Bros
Hello, Welcome to the Aussie Pickleball Bros – the Ultimate Pickleball Site for Australian Players of All Skill Levels.
We launched the Aussiepickleballbros.com in 2023 when we noticed one big thing missing in our Pickleball loving lives: authentic, local content for Australian Pickleball enthusiasts. The Bros put their heads and skill sets together to have some fun and started the first Australian Pickleball Blog – The Aussie Pickleball Bros.
The Aussie Pickleball Bros have been friends for over 25 years. They live in Melbourne with their wives and their children who are all friends and enjoy spending time together. And that means pickleball is played whenever humanly possible.

Aussie Pickleball Bros: Big Wins So Far
Since beginning the blog in early 2023, the Aussie Pickleball Bros have had some amazing Achievements and milestones.

- Our passion for growing Aussie pickleball was featured in The Industry Times, highlighting how our community-first approach is inspiring players across the country. How cool is that?
- And our claim to fame was playing against Tyson McGuffin and Ben Johns at the Australian Open Pickleball SLAM 2025. This was a pickleball career highlight for the Bros.
- The Bros have been featured in Feedspot’s Top 100 Pickleball Blogs. What an honour to be on the list with other amazing pickleball sites from across the world.
- And the Bros won his first Gold medal playing a Tournament on a Pickleball Cruise… in hurricane conditions… while hungover… #Straya

Pickleball is growing fast in Australia, and we’re here to help you grow with it. Welcome to the Bros community — your one-stop shop for all things pickleball in Australia.

Meet the Aussie Pickleball Bros.
The Aussie Pickleball Bros started in 2022 when three best friends decided to give Pickleball a try at a local community centre. One of the friends (Josh) had played tennis his entire life. He played Pickleball at the Australian Open in 2021 and enjoyed it. He suggested the three friends give it a try for some fun.
The other two friends, Matt & Gonz, had no idea what Pickleball was but were happy to give it a try. It was sold to them as “miniaturised tennis” and sounded fun. And from the first night they played, they really enjoyed the game. They found that Pickleball was easy to pick up and difficult to put down. It was a lot of fun and they haven’t stopped playing ever since.

Three Bros. Three Skill Levels. One Mission.
At Aussie Pickleball Bros, we’re proud to bring you real reviews, real tips, and real experiences — from three different players at three different stages of their pickleball journey. From beginner basics to expert tactics, each bro brings their own experience and passion to the court (and the blog).

Meet Josh (The Expert)
On the Court: Josh has been playing racquet sports his entire life, with over 30 years of competitive tennis experience under his belt. He’s also a fierce table tennis competitor, bringing sharp reflexes and strategy to every game. Starting as an advanced player, Josh uses his deep tennis background to dominate on the pickleball court — combining power, placement, and serious court sense.
On the Blog: Josh brings his skills as an experienced journalist and published author, writing detailed guides, reviews, and insights with a sharp, professional edge.
Favourite Pickleball Gear: Josh Loves his Agassi Paddle more than anything.
Meet Gonz (The Intermediate)
On the Court: Gonz has played racquet sports like badminton and squash over the years, and he’s transferred those skills surprisingly well to pickleball. A little rusty but highly determined, Gonz considers himself an intermediate player. He’s the tech guy in the group and when he isn’t playing, loves learning about paddle technology and design.
On the Blog: Gonz has a background in web design, data analytics, and product ownership, he helps drive the site’s tech, research, and smooth user experience.
Favourite Pickleball Gear: Gonz is a HUGE fan of his latest Pikpok Pickle paddles, and he enjoys using his JOOLA portable Net whenever he can for a cheeky game.
Meet Matt (The Beginner)
On the Court: Matt rarely picked up a racquet until pickleball came along, he was more of a basketball guy growing up. A proud “ground zero” beginner (unless you count Super Tennis on Nintendo), Matt is learning the game from scratch. Despite his fresh start, he’s already improved and even wins games when playing across Melbourne. Proving that his years of playing video games were not a complete waste and that anyone can play pickleball.
On the Blog: Matt brings humour, real-world insights, and a down-to-earth beginner’s perspective that makes pickleball feel fun and accessible to everyone.
Favourite Pickleball Gear: Any cool paddle that go with his latest Air Jordans.
