Kasaca Champions Inclusion at KBS Masters Games: Empowering Para Athletes to Play Pickleball

Sureena Shree Chandrasekar

When passion meets purpose, a sport becomes more than a game, it becomes a movement.

That’s exactly what happened at the KBS Masters Games Pickleball Tournament organised by Putrajaya Pickleball Association (PUPA), where Kasaca Malaysia stepped in as a proud sponsor to make sure everyone could play.

Just days before the tournament, organisers faced an unexpected challenge whereby the commercial pickleball venue did not permit wheelchair access on their existing courts due to surface restrictions. For the para athletes preparing to compete, this posed a heartbreaking obstacle.

But instead of letting the story end there, Kasaca took action.

A Swift Solution, A Powerful Statement

In a matter of days, Kasaca provided a special rolling floor mat system custom-designed to accommodate wheelchair athletes and provide a safe, high-grip surface for gameplay.

This sponsorship didn’t just solve a technical problem, it opened the court to every player, proving that accessibility and performance can go hand in hand.

For the para pickleball community, this moment was more than symbolic. It represented the first time many could compete on a professional-grade setup without compromise.

Setting the Standard for Inclusive Play

Kasaca’s commitment goes beyond innovation and equipment; it's about redefining who gets to play. By investing in inclusive solutions like the rolling mat surface, the brand is leading the conversation on how sports can evolve to welcome every kind of athlete, from recreational players to para champions.

Without Kasaca’s quick response, our para athletes might not have been able to participate at all. Their support turned a challenge into a celebration.

More Than a Brand: A Companion

The KBS Masters Games Pickleball event marked another milestone in Kasaca’s ongoing effort to grow pickleball inclusively across Malaysia and the ASEAN region.
The company continues to advocate for equal access, innovation, and community-driven sports culture reminding everyone that greatness starts with giving others a chance to play.

Kasaca: Playing Phenomenally, Together

Kasaca’s involvement in this event alongside PUPA echoes its brand philosophy performance with purpose. From sponsoring national tournaments to creating adaptive solutions for para athletes, the message is clear: pickleball is for everyone.

Believing that when the right support meets the right spirit, every player no matter their ability, deserves their moment on court.

A heartfelt message from the brand:

“From a single mat to a world of possibility. At Kasaca Sports, we are building a future where everybody can play.”
