Pop, Paddle, Play: Discovering Pickleball's Pulse at NSRCC Changi

Under a radiant May sun, fifteen spirited participants gathered at NSRCC Changi on 11 May to participate in our Pickleball Trial—an afternoon filled with laughter, light-hearted competition, and infectious energy.

This dynamic sport, a harmonious fusion of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, is swiftly winning hearts across generations in Asia. It has gained further traction in Singapore by pop culture moments—Taylor Swift’s appearance in her latest hit, ‘Fortnight’, where she graced the court, with a pickleball paddle in hand.

At NSRCC Changi, the court came alive with enthusiasm as players young and seasoned embraced the rhythm of the game. Rally after rally, they discovered not just a sport, but a joyful way to connect, stay active, and celebrate community under the open sky.
