Driving Junior Development in Malaysian Pickleball

Both events are proudly organised by the Persatuan Pickleball Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya, with strong backing from Felet, Vida, and The Pickle Vibe.

The mission is clear: create more pathways for young players to compete, learn, and grow in the sport. By offering both a closed community tournament and an open national-level event, the organisers are making sure there’s room for every type of player from complete beginners to rising stars aiming for podium finishes.

The Bigger Picture:

• Grassroots events like the Junior Closed Championship ensure local players can build confidence without being overwhelmed by national-level pressure.
• National events like the Junior Open Championship expose players to higher competition standards, helping them prepare for regional and even international opportunities.
  
  

As pickleball’s popularity in Malaysia continues to rise, the future of the sport lies in nurturing young players. With the right balance of competition, mentorship, and community spirit, events like these make sure the pipeline of future talent stays strong.

How to Get Involved

Parents, schools, and sports clubs are encouraged to register their juniors early, as both events are expected to hit capacity. Even if you’re not competing, these tournaments are a fantastic way to experience the game, cheer on young athletes, and connect with the growing pickleball community.

Two weekends, two opportunities, one goal: grow the game together.
