Ampang Racquet Club, Tony’s New York Pizza Team Up for Pickleball, Pizza, Loads of Fun

Most open play sessions give you an hour, a paddle, and a polite nudge out the door once your slot’s up. Ampang Racquet Club is doing things rather differently. Teaming up with Tony’s New York Pizza, the club is putting together a special night on Friday, 25 September 2026, built around four full hours of open play, with the courts staying live well into the evening rather than cutting out after a single round.

Music’s covered too, courtesy of local vibe-setters Karpet Terbang, who’ll be handling the soundtrack for the evening alongside a few pre-game grooves to ease everyone in before the rallies properly start. A handful of pop-up guests are also expected to drop by across the night, adding a bit of surprise to what’s otherwise shaping up as a straightforward night of good pickleball and better company.

Whether you’re the type who wants to run every court in the building until closing or you’d rather hang back, grab a slice, and catch up with familiar faces between games, the format’s built to accommodate both. That’s really the point of stretching the session out to four hours in the first place—there’s no rush, no single-round pressure, just enough time to actually settle into the evening properly.

Worried about turning up without a paddle? Don’t be. Ampang Racquet Club has that side of things handled, so all you really need to bring is your own sport kit, a few mates, and an appetite for both pizza and pickleball. And in case there’s any doubt: this genuinely isn’t a rushed one-hour slot dressed up as an event. You’re getting the full four hours on court, with plenty of laughs and food to go along with it.
