Yes, even Hong Kong has caught pickleball fever! The ONE, a trendy landmark in Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong, has partnered with the Asia Aces Pickleball Academy to host “The ONE X AAPA Pickleball Power-Up,” a more-than-month-long showcase that features plenty of pickleball action, a pickleball-themed pop-up store, and a pickleball-centric contest.
The highlight of ONE X AAPA Pickleball Power-Up is the full-size pickleball court and check-in display installed at UG2 Atrium. The court perfectly recreates the authentic pickleball playing environment, allowing participants to fully experience the unique charm of the world’s fastest-rising sport. What’s more, pickleball champion Venise Chan and her team of professional coaches will lead pickleball sessions and clinics in this standard court to let guests pick up the sport and have an even greater time.
“Pickleball has become a rising sport in Hong Kong in recent years. With the hope of qualifying for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, we are bringing pickleball to shopping malls, allowing people of all ages to experience it firsthand,” said AAPA Founder Chan Wing-yu. “We also hope that pickleball will not only be a professional sport that can be competed on the international stage, but also a social activity that can be easily integrated into daily life, continuing the pickleball craze.”
PikPok Pickle Makes Hong Kong Debut
ONE X AAPA Pickleball Power-Up also features a pop-up store featuring leading global pickleball brand PikPok Pickle. Making its Hong Kong debut at The ONE, PikPok Pickle is selling a wide selection of high-quality rackets, fashionable sportswear, and stylish accessories in its special pop-up store. The sporting brand also offers personalised customisation services that allow customers to create their paddles and accessories that are uniquely theirs and theirs alone.
