Events

Courts as venues.
Brands as partners.
Community as the product.

Deadball runs three event formats across Queensland's pickleball and padel courts. Whether you're a brand looking for authentic activation or a club that wants programming — we've built the system.

Format 01
Dead Ball™
Glow Night
The party that happens
to have pickleball.

Once per quarter, we take over a partner club for one night. Blacklights, DJ, open courts. No ratings, no round-robins, no pressure. Come for the vibe, stay for the game.

Every dead ball collected on the night goes directly into the Dead Ball™ production run. Attendees play with balls that become the next product.

What clubs get
  • Free event concept and production framework
  • Dead Ball™ brand association
  • Shareable content from the night
  • New players through the door

Format 02
Founding
Club Night
Every bin that goes in
deserves a moment.

When a new club joins the Deadball network, we throw a launch event at their courts. The bin goes in, the Certified Sustainable Club badge goes up, and Queensland's sustainable sports community gets a little bigger.

We invite the local pickleball community, capture the moment, and turn a B2B onboarding into something the club is proud to post about. A PR moment built into the process — no extra work required.

What founding clubs get
  • Hosted launch event at your courts
  • Deadball and Dead Ball™ press coverage
  • Certified Sustainable Club badge and assets
  • First 3 months free as a founding member

Format 03
The
Brand Series
Your brand. Our courts.
Their attention.

Once per quarter, Deadball co-presents a multi-club event series with a Queensland brand. The format changes each season, but the structure is fixed: the brand brings the budget and the audience, Deadball brings the courts and the sustainability story, Dead Ball™ lands in every attendee's hand.
