Our Story

    The Jar experience, on a whole new level.

    The making of HQ — Melbourne's flagship racquet club, opening in Maidstone.

    The idea

    A racquet club, properly done.

    The Jar started with a simple belief: pickleball deserved a real home in Melbourne — not a court tucked into the back of something else, but a venue built for the sport.

    HQ takes that idea further. Indoor. Purpose-built. Two sports. One flagship in Maidstone designed from the ground up for how the game is actually played, watched and lived.

    Early Access — Open Now

    Pickleball opens the doors.

    Nine championship-grade indoor pickleball courts. Booked tight, played hard.

    Open now for early access — book directly at hq.thejar.club.

    Later in 2026

    Padel arrives.

    Six glass-walled, pro-spec padel courts join the club later in the year — the second sport in Melbourne's premium racquet destination.

    From that moment on, HQ is the rare place in Australia where you can play both sports at this standard, under one roof, in one membership.

    2027

    The full club lands.

    Front bar. Kitchen. Pro shop. Lounge. Members' areas. The complete club environment — a place to land before, between and after the game.

    By 2027, HQ is the racquet club Melbourne's been waiting for. Until then, the courts are already open, and the people on the list are already inside.
