How It Works

  • Pick a venue:

    • Serangoon (4 A/C courts + lounge) — premium, client-hosting vibe

    • Punggol (6 sheltered courts) — scale & spectacle

    Chai Chee (4 outdoor + A/C lounge) — relaxed community feel

    We tailor the experience:

    • Curated guest list & RSVP flow (template invites provided)

    • Branded welcome, light clinic, mini-tournament, prize moment

    • On-site brand touchpoints (hydration/product table, photo wall)

    • Coach & MC to keep energy high and the schedule smooth

    • Optional F&B service and short brand keynote or demo

    Built-in measurement:

    • Attendee check-in, QR lead capture, feedback pulse

    • Recap deck with photos, short video, and follow-up actions

Why choose a private & invite-only pickleball experience

1) The right people, in the right setting
Your team curates the guest list (clients, prospects, partners); we create a relaxed, social environment where real conversations happen between rallies.

2) Executive-friendly time well spent
Pickleball is easy to learn and highly inclusive—perfect for decision-makers who won’t commit to golf or half-day seminars. Two hours delivers genuine bonding without calendar fatigue.

3) Exclusivity = perceived value
A closed-door, branded event signals status and care. Guests feel hosted—not marketed to—which increases receptivity and long-term loyalty.

4) Brand safety & message control
It’s your event, your agenda, your compliance. We plan every touchpoint—from check-in to trophies—so your brand is presented exactly how you want.

5) Deeper engagement than a booth
Instead of chasing passers-by, you host a meaningful shared experience. Conversations are unhurried, product trials are contextual, and relationships stick.

6) Pipeline impact you can feel
Warm introductions + shared memories shorten sales cycles. We build in lead capture and follow-ups so the day translates into meetings, trials, and renewal momentum.

7) Premium content, naturally
Smiles, rallies, prize moments—perfect for tasteful recap clips and photo sets your team can share with attendees and stakeholders.

8) Wellness-forward positioning
Associate your brand with movement, connection, and a modern sport that’s booming across Singapore.
