Some people keep business and family separate… We clearly missed that memo!

Meet the family behind Dinking Hub.

Different personalities. Different strengths. One shared obsession with a little game called pickleball.

And a rather big ambition for where it can go.

Because behind every session, every new player, every coaching opportunity and every idea that starts with “what if we...” there’s a family making it happen.

The conversations don’t always stop when the working day ends. The ideas have a habit of following us home. And when you’re building something together, everyone has an opinion.

Naturally.

But somewhere between the family discussions, the big plans and the occasional healthy disagreement, something pretty special is taking shape.

✨ Dinking Hub ✨

A family-led pickleball business with its sights set on growing the game, creating experiences and bringing a whole lot more people together through sport.

From pickleball coaching and beginner sessions to social play, club events and a growing community across Dublin and Ireland, we’re creating the kind of sporting culture we’d want to be part of ourselves.

And here’s the thing about family.

It doesn’t always have to mean sharing a surname.

Sometimes it’s the people who turn up every Saturday. The familiar faces across the net. The ones cheering your best shots and laughing at your worst.

The people who came for a game and somehow became part of the story.

That’s what we’re building.

It started with our family.

Now we’re making room for yours.

So, consider this your introduction to the people behind Dinking Hub. The faces, the personalities and the family making the moves behind the scenes.

And if you’re already part of our pickleball community, you’re part of this story too.

A FAMILY AFFAIR. A COMMUNITY IN THE MAKING. AND WE’RE ONLY GETTING STARTED.

Come for the pickleball. Stay for everything else.

Your court. Your move.

Some come for the competition. Some come for the connection. Some pick up a paddle for the first time and wonder how they ever lived without it.

That’s the thing about pickleball. One game has a funny way of becoming your favourite part of the week.

At Dinking Hub, we’re building something bigger than a place to play.

A community where beginners become regulars. Where good rallies turn into great friendships. Where there’s always another game, another challenge and another reason to come back.

Never played before? We’ll get you started.

Looking to improve? Our pickleball coaching and personalised 1:1 sessions will help you take your game further.

Just want to play, meet people and be part of something? We’ve got a court for that, too.

And if you’re looking for your people, you might just find them here.

FIND YOUR GAME.
FIND YOUR PEOPLE.
FIND YOUR PLACE.

Join us at Sandyford Pickleball Club.

Saturdays | 10:00–12:00
St Tiernan’s Community School, Balally, Dublin 16.

For beginner pickleball sessions, social play, 1:1 coaching and club enquiries:

Or send us a DM.

The first move is yours. We’ll take it from there.

Come for the pickleball. Stay for everything else.

THE POINT WAS LOST THREE SHOTS AGO.

Or, more accurately, you gave it away three shots ago.

Here’s something Howard tells his students: pickleball is a game of errors. And often, the mistake that costs you the point happens long before the final shot.

Think about the last rally you lost.

Was it really that winning smash from your opponent? Or was it the ball you left sitting high two shots earlier?

Maybe you drifted out of position and opened up the court. Maybe you tried to speed up a ball that wasn’t there to attack.

By the time your opponent hit the winner, you’d already given them the opportunity.

That’s the difference between watching the ball and understanding the point.

Three things worth paying attention to:

01 / THE BALL YOU LEAVE HIGH.
You’re giving your opponent an opportunity.

02 / THE POSITION YOU GIVE AWAY.
You’re giving them space.

03 / THE UNJUSTIFIED SPEED-UP.
You’re risking handing them the point.

Here’s something to try in your next match: when you lose a rally, don’t just think about the last shot. Rewind the previous three.

Where did you actually lose control?

Because improving your pickleball isn’t always about learning to hit better shots. Sometimes it’s about recognising the mistakes that make those shots necessary.

Save this one for your next match.

SAME GAME. BIGGER VISION.

We’re not changing the game. We’re changing how we show up.

A new identity. A bigger ambition. And a whole lot more to come.

Today, we’re introducing a new era of Dinking Hub.

What started with a passion for pickleball has grown into something much bigger. A community built on connection, competition, coaching and the belief that this sport has an incredible future.

And we believe it’s only the beginning.

Our refreshed identity reflects that ambition. Bold, modern and unmistakably Dinking Hub, with a new secondary logo inspired by the lines of a pickleball court.

A nod to the game that brought us together. A statement about where we’re going next.

Because for us, pickleball has never been just about what happens on court.

It’s about the people you meet. The friendships you make. The skills you develop. The moments that keep you coming back for one more game.

And now? We’re thinking bigger.

More opportunities to play. More ways to learn. More reasons to connect. And a bigger vision for pickleball in Dublin, across Ireland and beyond.

New look. Same passion. Bigger possibilities.

To everyone who’s been part of our journey so far, thank you. You’re the reason we’re here, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Same community. Bigger things ahead.

Welcome to the next chapter of Dinking Hub.

🎃 TRICK OR DINK?

Some people are afraid of ghosts. Others are afraid of monsters.

Pickleball players? We’re afraid of hearing “ONE MORE GAME” when we’re already running 20 minutes late. 💀

This Halloween, the skeletons are smashing, the witches are serving, and Frankenstein is still arguing that his ball was IN.

Honestly? Just another night on the pickleball court.

👻 THE HALLOWEEN DOUBLES DRAFT IS OPEN.

You’re one player short. Who are you picking?

💀 Skeleton — all bones, no unforced errors.
🧙‍♀️ Witch — wicked spin, questionable line calls.
🧟 Frankenstein — terrifying at the kitchen line.
👻 Ghost — impossible to read, even harder to beat.

Drop your doubles partner below. Wrong answers encouraged.

Happy Halloween from Dinking Hub. 🧡

The only thing haunting us is that missed dink.
