Support for pickleball courts far outweighs opposition among speakers taking a position at U.S. local government meetings, according to Hamlet. The public-meeting analysis firm counted 1,152 supporters and 89 opponents in meetings across 468 cities and towns since Oct. 19, 2024, with support leading in 436.
Fresno, Riverside and Maricopa were among places with many supportive speakers, while Port St. Lucie and Tampa had more opponents. The findings offer a wider view than coverage centered on noise complaints and neighborhood disputes.
Analisi Coachino
For clubs pursuing courts, the findings document strong support among meeting speakers, not a survey of residents. Local differences remain important when discussing facilities with councils.

Hunter Johnson beat Tama Shimabukuro in the PPA Tour Asia Hong Kong Slam men’s singles final, after defeating Federico Staksrud in the semifinals. Crowds packed Kai Tak Arena for an event offering $1.1 million in prize money and 1,500 World Pickleball Ranking points.
Staksrud’s quarterfinal comeback against Hong Kit Wong drew controversy: an extended equipment timeout and a 1-point penalty for inappropriate language preceded his 12-10 deciding-game win. Anna Leigh Waters won women’s doubles with Anna Bright and mixed doubles with Ben Johns.
Analisi Coachino
For athletes and coaches, the Staksrud-Wong match puts equipment readiness and on-court conduct in focus: both became central issues during a closely contested deciding game.
Le cinque finali di Hong Kong si disputeranno il 25 ottobre, a partire dalle 13:00 locali. Bright e Patriquin hanno superato di misura i fratelli Johnson per 11-2, 9-11, 11-9 e affronteranno Johns e Waters nel doppio misto. Nel doppio femminile, Bright farà invece coppia con Waters contro Black e Jorja Johnson.
Castillo ritroverà Dikosavljevic, in una riedizione della finale di singolare in Australia; Shimabukuro sfiderà Hunter Johnson nel singolare maschile. Johns e Tardio contenderanno a Staksrud e Patriquin l'oro del doppio maschile a Kai Tak.
Analisi Coachino
Bright sarà compagna di Waters in una finale e sua avversaria in un'altra: un'occasione per il pubblico di confrontare l'intesa di coppia e la capacità di adattarsi a chi si trova dall'altra parte della rete.

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.
Analisi 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.

With several big names absent, Semifinal Saturday at the PPA Tour's Virginia Beach Open is full of fresh chances, Pickleball.com reports. In women's singles, No. 19 Sofia Sewing, who upset No. 2 seed Brooke Buckner in three games on Thursday, and No. 21 Helena Jansen Fink are each a win away from a first PPA Tour final.
No. 2 Noe Khlif and No. 7 Adam Harvey are chasing their first singles finals on U.S. soil, while Will Howells, Elliott Schupp and Max Freeman could make a first final in men's doubles.

Lea Jansen has pulled out of women's singles and mixed doubles at the PPA Tour's Virginia Beach Open with a broken left patella, but she is still playing women's doubles with Kate Fahey. The pair beat Daria Walczak and Alex Walker 11-2, 11-4 on Thursday and face fifth seeds Alix Truong and Layne Sleeth in Friday's quarterfinals.
The Dink's Erik Tice reported that the 34-year-old had played on the injury since May, through the Major League Pickleball season, until an MRI found it. Jansen expects about three months out and has left every remaining 2026 event.

Indoor franchisor The Picklr has filed for Chapter 11 in the Northern District of Texas, FOX Business reports. An investor group led by franchisee Tom Neale has committed $4.5 million, pending court approval, although Sports Business Journal put the figure at $4.8 million.
Founder Jorge Barragan told SBJ the company had guaranteed leases for about 40 early locations. He said no club will shut because of the filing itself, though some contraction is likely. The Picklr has more than 70 U.S. sites plus clubs in Australia, Canada and Japan, and lost $4.4 million in 2025.

For club owners the lesson is financial rather than sporting: rapid growth backed by lease guarantees can strain even a busy brand, so know who carries the rent risk before signing.

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.
Panels covered growth data, education, sustainable facilities, national federations, youth curricula and technology, and one asked whether the Olympics should be the goal at all.

Seine-Saint-Denis sta sviluppando programmi continuativi di pickleball attraverso club, istruttori e scuole, riferisce la federazione francese di tennis. Sono 3 i club che propongono ormai regolarmente questo sport, circa 12 istruttori hanno ottenuto una certificazione introduttiva e circa 30 consulenti didattici della scuola primaria lo hanno provato.
Ad Aulnay-sous-Bois, gli appuntamenti settimanali hanno registrato il tutto esaurito durante tutto l’anno, richiamando almeno 16 partecipanti. Il comitato dipartimentale presta inoltre ai club kit di attrezzature, riducendo gli ostacoli pratici all’avvio delle attività.

Per i club che si rivolgono agli anziani, facilitare concretamente la partecipazione, proporre sessioni accoglienti e offrire occasioni per socializzare conta più del solo annuncio di una sponsorizzazione.

Palm Springs planned a grand opening on Wednesday afternoon for its new $5.1 million pickleball complex at Demuth Park, NBC Palm Springs reports. The site has 22 courts with lighting, shade structures, seating and drinking fountains, and is part of a wider upgrade of the park, according to Mayor Naomi Soto.
The courts are open daily, 7 a.m. until 10 p.m., with one-hour reservations offered between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Funding came in part from Measure J, a sales tax approved by local voters.
Analisi Coachino
Large public complexes with lights and reservations lower the cost of entry for new players. Local coaches can approach the city early about clinics and league time on the new courts.

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.
Christian Alshon and Noe Khlif, seeded in all three events, won every match they played. Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters began their Hong Kong campaign by beating Hannah Blatt and Grayson Goldin 11-3, 11-3 in mixed doubles.
Analisi Coachino
A day without upsets shows the gap between seeded pros and the rest of a deep field. Rising players should study how the favourites close out matches without wasting points.
I dati pubblicati da APP dopo il torneo di Louisville offrono uno sguardo dietro le quinte, anziché un altro riepilogo dei risultati. Per allestire la struttura sono state utilizzate 23 reti e superfici di gioco per 49,680 piedi quadrati, mentre il campo principale comprendeva 218 moduli LED.
Questi dettagli mostrano la quantità di attrezzature e il lavoro di installazione necessari per ospitare un evento professionistico all’interno di un centro congressi.
Analisi Coachino
I club che progettano eventi più grandi possono usare questo esempio per preparare una lista delle attrezzature necessarie. La disposizione dei campi, i tempi di installazione e i sistemi per il pubblico meritano attenzione quanto il tabellone della competizione.

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.
Analisi 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.
Analisi 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.

Hong Kong's own players made a strong start at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam, PPA Tour Asia reports. Nok Yiu Tang beat fellow Hong Konger Kwan Wun Man 11-5, 11-0 in singles and won her mixed match with Eunggwon Kim 11-3, 11-0, while Hong Kit Wong came through all three of his first-round matches.

Dinkeando segnala l’apertura del centro Dreamfit di Coslada, vicino a Madrid, con un’ampia offerta dedicata al pickleball. Anche il gestore indica 12 campi, suddivisi equamente tra coperti e scoperti. L’articolo descrive inoltre lezioni e sessioni di gioco organizzato per diversi livelli di abilità.
Le tariffe dei campi non sono state confermate nell’articolo: la capacità pubblicizzata dalla struttura va quindi distinta dalla disponibilità effettivamente verificata e dalla domanda reale.

Gabe Tardio says joining Ben Johns in men’s doubles redirected his career—and brought nerves that initially held him back. Speaking on Pickleballers, he explained that he had been considering an Indian pro league and an overseas/APP Tour schedule before Johns approached him.
Tardio instead reached a PPA Tour deal. Their debut at the Mesa Cup in February 2025 ended with silver against Andrei Daescu and Christian Alshon. He said familiarity helped him regain his natural game; the partnership has since collected 19 gold medals and won more than 95% of its matches.
Analisi Coachino
Tardio’s account highlights the pressure of a new partnership: he linked his early hesitation to unfamiliarity with Johns, and greater comfort to time spent playing together.

Qualifying is over at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam, and PPA Tour Asia says one of the last places was earned the hard way. New Zealand's Conor Robertshawe lost his opening game 11-0, saved three match points on the way to winning the second 13-11, then took the decider 11-8.
Home players are in place for the main draw. Seventh seed Hong Kit Wong meets Chinese qualifier Zida Li, and Nok Yiu Tang faces fellow Hong Konger Kwan Wun Man. World No. 1 Christopher Haworth begins his Asia debut against qualifier Xirui Liu.

Robertshawe's escape is a lesson for anyone trailing badly: one point at a time still works. Juniors can study how he reset after losing the opening game without scoring.

Anna Leigh Waters' exhibition at 91 Pickleball in Petaling Jaya on October 17 left many fans unhappy, Pickleball News Asia reports. Attendees complained that the event was oversold, with a packed venue, long queues and little time with the world No. 1.

Franklin Malaysia apologised the following day and promised a dedicated contact channel for affected ticket holders, but gave no timeline, described no remedy and did not respond to refund demands.

Star appearances can win new fans or sour them. Clubs hosting big names should cap ticket sales at real capacity and promise only the access they can deliver.

Louisville's first PickleY'all festival opened on Friday next to the Humana APP Louisville Open at the Kentucky International Convention Center, WHAS11 reports, with courts indoors and out and free admission. The festival runs through Saturday with a pickling contest, food, live music and a Kentucky Science Center kids zone, while the pro event finishes on Sunday.
The APP's Tom Webb told the station that nearly anyone can get a rally going within minutes. Saturday's pro men's and women's doubles stream on APPTV and ESPN+.

Pairing a pro event with a free festival turns spectators into players. Clubs hosting tournaments can copy the idea with try-it courts and a short intro clinic beside the main draw.
Venerdì 16 ottobre il Humana APP Louisville Open porta il doppio misto sul Championship Court, con copertura APPTV a partire da mezzogiorno, ora della costa orientale. L’annuncio del circuito offre un riferimento pratico per seguire una settimana caratterizzata dalla rincorsa a diversi record.
Alla vigilia del torneo, Jack Munro e Richard Livornese Jr. avevano conquistato 6 titoli consecutivi nel doppio maschile e puntavano al 7º. Megan Fudge aveva eguagliato Simone Jardim con 33 titoli nel doppio femminile. Questi numeri descrivono i traguardi raggiunti prima di Louisville, non risultati già ottenuti in questo torneo.

Maria Ford’s loud celebrations during her comeback win over Genie Bouchard at the PPA Tour Chicago Cup sparked renewed discussion about taunting and sportsmanship. Bouchard declined to tap paddles afterward, while Ford received no warning or penalty. Separate exchanges between Hayden Patriquin and Eric Oncins at the same tournament added to calls from some fans for clearer conduct rules.

When Federico Staksrud could not travel to the Australia Pickleball Cup because of visa problems, Christian Alshon turned to Benjamin Bramblett, his social media manager and full-time hitting partner. Bramblett, a left-hander who last played pro events years ago, and Alshon go back three years.
The stand-in pair won their round of 32 match 11-4, 11-2, took the round of 16 and reached the men's doubles quarterfinals against No. 11 seeds George Wall and Joey Wild. Alshon admitted expectations were modest after Bramblett's long break from tour play.

Solid fundamentals travel: a regular practice partner who knows a pro’s patterns can hold up at tour level, which is why a steady hitting partner matters so much in training.
Luca Mack e Anouar Braham hanno eliminato Armaan Bhatia e Augustus Ge dal tabellone del doppio maschile di Virginia Beach il 15 ottobre, imponendosi 12–10, 11–5 e conquistando i quarti di finale. Ad attenderli nel turno successivo c’erano Elliott Schupp e Jaume Martinez Vich.
Avanti anche Wyatt Stone e Will MacKinnon, protagonisti di una netta rimonta contro Roscoe Bellamy e Matt Wright. Perso il primo game, hanno ribaltato la partita chiudendo sul 5–11, 11–0, 11–4. I registri ufficiali dei giocatori confermano entrambi i risultati riportati nel resoconto datato degli ottavi di finale.

Noé Khlif è stato annunciato come nuovo atleta di Arronax, secondo un articolo pubblicato il 15 ottobre da Pickleball Actu. La testata francese cita il resoconto di Pickle361 sull’annuncio diffuso dal marchio malese di racchette l’11 ottobre.
Lo stesso articolo segnala che il 15 ottobre la scheda dell’attrezzatura di Noé Khlif sul PPA Tour riportava ancora JOOLA.

PPA Tour Asia's dragon medal set comes to a head in Hong Kong. A 500-level medal forms the tail and a 1000-level medal the body, and this year the head is only on offer at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam at Kai Tak Arena, October 19 to 25, where reaching a final completes the set.
Seven players already hold a tail and a body, among them Tama Shimabukuro, who has seven 2026 titles, Australian partners Sahra Dennehy and Danni-Elle Townsend, Alix Truong, Hien Truong, Len Yang and Joey Wild.

Collectible milestones like the dragon give regional players a season-long goal. Club coaches can borrow the idea with tiered rewards that keep juniors entering events all year.
Le previsioni di pioggia hanno spinto il Pickle Pro Tour a trasferire al coperto le gare del Barcelona Open, secondo quanto comunicato dagli organizzatori e riportato da Dinkeando il 14 ottobre. Il Club Shooter a Sant Fruitós de Bages mette a disposizione 7 campi, a cui si aggiungono i 4 del Vila Pickleball a Sabadell.
Prima di mettersi in viaggio, i giocatori devono verificare in quale sede si disputerà ogni categoria, soprattutto se partecipano a più gare. Gli organizzatori hanno inoltre annunciato che tutti i partecipanti riceveranno il rimborso delle quote di iscrizione dopo il torneo. Si tratta di un impegno al rimborso, non della conferma che i pagamenti siano già stati effettuati.
Analisi Coachino
Un piano di emergenza per un torneo richiede più di qualche campo di riserva: assegnazioni chiare delle sedi e comunicazioni tempestive sui rimborsi aiutano i giocatori a gestire i cambiamenti negli spostamenti e nel calendario.
Braden Jacobson ha rimontato dopo aver perso il primo game, eliminando Matthew Finnerty a Virginia Beach il 14 ottobre. Il successo per 3–11, 11–2, 11–3 gli vale un incontro con Rafael Lenhard agli ottavi di finale.
Anche Maria Ford ha avuto bisogno del game decisivo contro Jalina Ingram. Dopo aver vinto il primo e perso il secondo, Ford ha chiuso con autorità per 11–2, 9–11, 11–3 e affronterà Milan Rane. I risultati ufficiali dei giocatori confermano entrambi i punteggi riportati nel resoconto di Pickleball Surge sui sedicesimi di finale.
Analisi Coachino
Questi incontri offrono spunti utili per discutere di come ritrovare la concentrazione tra un game e l’altro: perderne uno non deve necessariamente condizionare la qualità del gioco nel successivo.
Mya Bui e Luca Mack hanno raggiunto gli ottavi del doppio misto a Virginia Beach battendo Will Howells e Alix Truong per 11–2, 11–7 il 14 ottobre. I risultati ufficiali dei giocatori confermano il punteggio riportato da Pickleball Surge.
Il successo è arrivato dopo la vittoria all’esordio contro Martin Emmrich e Estee Widdershoven per 16–14, 11–4. La coppia è quindi approdata agli ottavi con 2 vittorie dal copione diverso: un primo game prolungato nella gara d’esordio e un incontro molto più breve contro Will Howells e Alix Truong. Ad attenderli c’erano Layne Sleeth e Nicolas Acevedo.
Analisi Coachino
Gli allenatori possono confrontare l’equilibrio della gara d’esordio con il risultato successivo per discutere di come ritrovare la concentrazione tra un turno e l’altro, senza dare per scontato che lo stesso piano di gioco funzioni ancora.
