Singapore's Sengkang Town Council will stop pickleball on courts close to housing blocks from November 1 and restrict the nine courts that remain to 10am to 7:30pm, Pickleball News Asia reports, citing an Instagram post by local MP Abdul Muhaimin. Residents chose the measures in a vote after noise complaints.
Other town councils have already acted, from a court ban in Holland-Bukit Panjang to foam-ball sessions in Mountbatten. The site cites more than 700 noise complaints in 18 months as monthly bookings approach 8,000.
Análisis de Coachino
Noise is now one of the biggest limits on growth in dense cities. Programmes near homes can cut complaints with foam balls, sensible hours and courts sited away from residents.

The Global Pickleball Summit 2026, organised by RacketPro in Hong Kong from October 18 to 20, moved the conversation from growth to structure, Pickleball News Asia reports. Timed just before the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam, it opened with social play and a session with pros such as Ben Johns, Anna Bright and Len Yang.

The Pickle Love Tour has scheduled its final UK qualifier at Courtside in Stourbridge, with amateur teams competing for places in the final in Italy. Each team consists of two men and two women, and the format includes men’s, women’s and mixed doubles. The event gives local amateurs access to an international team competition without needing to travel abroad for this qualifying stage.
Análisis de Coachino
A team format can involve players across several roles. Organizers should explain substitutions and scoring before play so newcomers can focus on competing and supporting teammates.
Seine-Saint-Denis está consolidando programas regulares de pickleball a través de clubes, entrenadores y escuelas, según informa la federación francesa de tenis. Ya hay 3 clubes que ofrecen este deporte de forma continua, alrededor de 12 entrenadores han completado una certificación introductoria y unos 30 asesores pedagógicos de primaria lo han probado.
En Aulnay-sous-Bois, las sesiones semanales han completado sus plazas durante todo el año, con al menos 16 participantes. El comité departamental también presta kits de material a los clubes, lo que facilita la puesta en marcha de las sesiones.
Análisis de Coachino
La clave para los clubes es crear un recorrido conectado: sesiones de prueba accesibles, instructores capacitados y vínculos con las escuelas pueden mantener la participación más allá de una actividad promocional aislada.

The APP says its first Humana APP Louisville Open, staged from October 15 to 18 alongside the PickleY'all festival, reached audiences well beyond pickleball fans. Every one of the five big local TV news outlets covered it, WLKY-TV acted as media partner, and Meltwater counted more than 157,000 mentions during the week.
A press conference with Mayor Craig Greenberg, the festival's ribbon-cutting and a free Shaggy concert anchored the publicity. Founder Ken Herrmann confirmed the tour will be back in Louisville in 2027.

Pairing a tour stop with a free community festival brought in civic partners and mainstream media. Clubs bidding for events can pitch the same mix to local sponsors.

Wednesday at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam went entirely to form, PPA Tour Asia reports, with every seed in every event reaching the round of 16. The nearest miss came from women's singles second seed Chao Yi Wang, who needed a 14-12 second game to get past Allyce Jones.

Clubs planning larger events can turn this example into an equipment checklist. Court layouts, installation time and spectator systems deserve attention alongside the competition draw.

Ed Ju has warned players about what he believes are counterfeit Life Time pickleballs, The Dink reports. In an Instagram post, he said a ball he switched to mid-session flew off his paddle and resembled an indoor ball, and that his own tests showed a big difference from a genuine one. At $6.50 a ball, he urged extra care with bulk orders.
The Dink notes his account cannot confirm where the balls came from. Fake paddles are already a known problem, and the UPA-A is coordinating a response across the industry.
Análisis de Coachino
Ball quality changes how a drill or match plays. Clubs and coaches buying in bulk should order from brands or authorised sellers and test a sample before stocking their courts.

At 19, Elliott Schupp has a first PPA Tour title, won in Virginia Beach with Jaume Martinez Vich, and Pickleball.com has traced how he got there. Burnt out after a decade of baseball, he first picked up a paddle at 12, playing with his grandfather in Arkansas, and spent two to three years reaching a 4.0 level before aiming for the pro game.
His grandfather capped him at two sessions a week early on to protect his enthusiasm and still coaches him, reviewing matches to find the patterns that win or lose points. Schupp now trains in Phoenix.
Análisis de Coachino
Schupp's path is a strong case for patient development. Coaches of young players can copy the formula: limited volume early, regular video review and goals tied to skill rather than results.
