Pickleball is more than just a game in the Philippines. It is a celebration of movement, strategy, and community. As the sport continues to win over players of all ages and skill levels, the Philippine Pickleball Federation (PPF), together with partner Skechers Philippines, the global leader in comfort and performance footwear, remains at the heart of the action, supporting the growing passion for pickleball across the country.
The excitement reached new heights at the historic, first-ever Philippine Pickleball National Championship 2025, held at Dink and Shot in Marikina from May 30 to June 1. Skechers proudly cheered on Skechers athletes like SJ Lim and Leander Lazaro, who competed in Skechers Pickleball high-performance shoes designed for agility, stability, and unbeatable comfort.
The championship featured Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed Doubles divisions, spanning age groups from 19 to 55 and above, bringing in a mix of seasoned athletes and up-and-coming talents from across the country, all playing with passion, grit, and true sportsmanship.
Adding to the celebration, the tournament’s gold medalists from each division took home their well-deserved prizes, a pair of Skechers Pickleball shoes. Additionally, it is from the elite group of gold medalists where the Philippine Pickleball Federation will select the official athletes for inclusion in the national pool of pickleball athletes. The winners received their Skechers pairs in a special ceremony, marking another milestone in our partnership’sunwavering commitment to the sport.
“Here in the Philippines, Skechers is beyond excited and optimistic about how the Pickleball community will grow. After being part of a monumental first for the Pickleball community with the recently concluded National Championship, we’re ready to support athletes and individuals who aspire to join the Pickleball community,” shares Suzette Pasustento, Country Manager of Skechers Philippines.
As pickleball gains even more momentum in the Philippines, PPF and Skechers stand ready to support every serve, volley, and victory. With footwear built for performance and comfort, Skechers ensures players at every level can step onto the court with confidence.
The game is growing. The community is thriving. And PPF, together with Skechers, will be there for every moment.
