Paddles, Players, and the Platform That Will Change Everything

Here’s what to expect at the April 13 launch event:

1. SHOT3’s Nova Paddle Series Unleashed

SHOT3 will unveil its long-awaited Nova Series — a brand-new paddle line designed for explosive energy, feel, and player expression.

Attendees will be among the first in the world to test the Nova paddles on court, alongside the sneak preview of the Titan series, with live feedback stations and player experiences all day.

“The Nova series represents more than technology. It’s about inspiring how you express yourself on the court. This is where function meets flair.”— Darren Ho, Co-founder, SHOT3

2. Opening of 8 Pickleball Courts at Ignite Academy

Once known as a high-performance tennis hub, Ignite Academy, co-founded by Singaporean tennis legend Jaime Wong, has now expanded into the world of pickleball — and is ready to open its upgraded facility.

The resurfaced courts are built for both tennis and pickleball excellence, with a community-first spirit.

“What began as a tennis school has transformed into something even bigger. Pickleball has brought new energy, and Ignite is here to grow with it.”— Jaime Wong, Co-founder, Ignite Academy

Experience the first-ever Ignite court play and meet the team behind the vision.

3. The Global Launch of PCP’s Game-Changing Ranking System

PCP will officially introduce its global ranking platform — a digital ecosystem that redefines how players are ranked across age, skill, and event formats.

From local leagues to international tournaments, PCP’s transparent, real-time tracking will reshape how pickleball is perceived and played around the world.

“This platform isn’t just a leaderboard — it’s a living reflection of a player’s journey. It rewards consistency, courage, and commitment.”— James Yong, Co-founder, PCP

The launch will include a live demo of a revolutionary idea for Pickleballers around the world with general public allowed to register accounts on the platform.

The Legends Bracket: 35+ Doubles Single Elimination

As part of the festivities on April 13, a 32-team single elimination doubles tournament for the 35+ age category will take center stage — bringing together some of the most experienced and players in Singapore. With high-level competition, electric energy, and PCP ranking points on the line, the tournament promises thrilling matchups and unforgettable moments. Whether you're playing or spectating, this 35+ showdown will be one of the day’s main highlights and a true celebration of competitive pickleball.
