Christmas Parties & Q4 Events on North Ryde's Tennis, Padel and Pickleball Courts: A Planner's Guide
If you've searched "tennis courts North Ryde" this quarter, there's a fair chance it isn't for a lesson. It's because someone in your office has been handed the end-of-year function. At Ryde Multisport & Racquet Centre (Tennis World North Ryde), 16-18 Epping Road, we run Corporate Christmas Parties and Corporate Team Building through Term 4, with five named packages, food and drink add-ons and a Wellness Hub alongside the courts.
This guide covers what each package includes, what you can add, how events are priced and how to lock in a date before December fills up. One thing to know up front: the five named packages are built around padel and pickleball, so they don't include tennis. If tennis is what your group wants, call us and ask what we can arrange. Looking for lessons or court hire instead? Our guide to tennis courts in North Ryde compares every program.

Why Q4 fills up first
Corporate Christmas Parties and Corporate Team Building are a standing part of our Q4 programming, alongside the regular tennis, padel and pickleball courts, basketball courts and Wellness Hub at the Ryde Multisport & Racquet Centre. December is our busiest month for this kind of booking, so our advice is simple: enquire early. The earlier you ask, the more date and time choices you'll have, whether you're planning a team afternoon for 10 or a full-day event for up to 150.
Dates and availability: We don't publish fixed dates for 2026 events. Tell us the date you'd like, and the team will come back with options and a quote.
1Pick your format
Start with the kind of day you're picturing, because the format shapes the package, the duration and the add-ons. Choose the closest match below and the finder shows which packages fit, or go straight to the package table in Step 2.
Start here: what kind of event is it?
Pick a format and we'll show the packages that fit.
A Christmas Cup tournament
A mini tournament styled as a "Christmas Cup" is part of two packages. The Pickleball & Padel Classic runs for 2 hours and mixes padel and pickleball. Tribe Padel & Wellness runs for 3 hours, with 2 hours of padel and 1 hour in the Wellness Hub. Both include a coach-led mini tournament.
Play, then a meal
Choose any package and add a food package: breakfast, lunch, a mixed package, or an Aussie BBQ (meat and salads). Catering is arranged on request rather than from a fixed menu, so tell us your numbers and dietary needs early.
Play, then recovery
Two packages finish in the Wellness Hub. The Platinum Experience is 3 hours: 1 hour of padel, 1 hour of pickleball and 1 hour in the Wellness Hub (sauna, ice bath and compression boots). Tribe Padel & Wellness is 3 hours: 2 hours of padel and 1 hour in the Wellness Hub. You can also add the Recovery package to another package.
A padel v pickleball showdown
The Pickleball & Padel Classic is the closest fit: 2 hours mixing both sports, with a coach-led mini tournament. The Platinum Experience also gives you an hour of each sport, plus an hour in the Wellness Hub.
A relaxed social session
Pickleball All the Way is a 2-hour, coach-led social pickleball format. Tribe Padel All the Way is the padel version, also 2 hours and coach-led.
A full day or a big group
A full-day event that combines several of these formats is also available, and events host up to 150 people. Call (02) 9888 7466 with your numbers and preferred date, and the team will come back with options and a quote.

What does it cost? Pricing depends on your package, your numbers, the length of the event and any add-ons, so we quote each event individually. Send us your details and the team will come back with a quote.
3Choose your add-ons
Beyond what's in the package, these add-ons are available on request. They're built into your quote, so mention the ones you want when you enquire.
| Add-on | What you get | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery package | Ice bath, compression boots and sauna access | Two of the five packages already include a Wellness Hub hour |
| Drinks package | Water, coconut water and non-alcoholic drinks | Non-alcoholic beer is available at extra cost |
| Food packages | Breakfast, lunch or a mixed food package, plus an Aussie BBQ (meat and salads) | Arranged on request, not from a fixed menu |
| Licensed bar | A licensed bar at your event | Subject to approval, with at least 20 days' notice |
| Transport | Pick-up from your workplace | Arranged and priced on request |
The one add-on you can't arrange late: the licensed bar needs at least 20 days' notice for approval. If you want one, raise it on your first call, before you lock in a date that's close.
Catering is available on request rather than from a fixed menu, so the realistic first step is a conversation about your numbers and preferences.
4Book your date
- Settle on numbers and sports. Roughly how many people, and padel, pickleball or a mix? This narrows the five packages quickly.
- Call or enquire. Call (02) 9888 7466 or use the 'Check December dates' enquiry link on our Corporate Christmas Parties page, with your preferred date, approximate numbers and sports of interest.
- Expect a quote. We build the cost around your numbers, duration and chosen add-ons, and the team will come back with options and a quote.
- Raise the licensed bar early. It needs at least 20 days' notice for approval, which is easy to miss when the rest of the planning is close to the date.
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs. If you're adding a food package, confirm both ahead of time, since catering is arranged on request.
Have this ready when you call:
- Your preferred date, and a second option if you can, since December is our busiest month
- Approximate headcount (packages start from 8 people)
- Padel, pickleball or a mix
- The format and length you have in mind: 2 hours, 3 hours or a full day
- Any add-ons: recovery, drinks, food, licensed bar or transport
- Dietary requirements, if you're adding food
Common mistakes to avoid
- Enquiring too late in the year. December is our busiest month for this kind of event, and the earlier you ask, the more date and time choices you'll have.
- Assuming a licensed bar can be added at short notice. It needs at least 20 days' notice for approval, so plan for it before you lock in a date that's closer than that.
- Enquiring without a rough headcount. Packages start from a minimum of 8 people and pricing is built around numbers, so even a rough figure gets you a usable quote faster.
- Expecting an instant price. Every event is quoted individually, so allow for a short back-and-forth to get your number.
- Skipping the format question. Choosing a format (tournament, meal, recovery, showdown or full day) before you call makes it much faster to land on the right package.
Planning a kids' birthday party instead?
Separate from the corporate packages, we also run kids' birthday parties for children aged 3 and over. Parties are 2-hour sessions on weekends at $35 per child, including court hire, all sporting equipment, and tennis and pickleball activities run by our qualified coaches.
