Pickleball and Proud Alliances

PPF Successfully Hosts the First-Ever Philippine Pickleball National Championship 2025 with Skechers Philippines

In the Philippines, pickleball is more than simply a game. It is a celebration of community, movement, and strategy. The Philippine Pickleball Federation (PPF) and its partner Skechers Philippines, a world leader in comfort and performance footwear, are at the center of the action as the sport continues to attract players of all ages and skill levels, fostering the nation’s growing pickleball fervor.

At the historic, first-ever Philippine Pickleball National Championship 2025, which took place at Dink and Shot in Marikina from May 30 to June 1, the excitement reached new heights. Skechers gladly supported its athletes, such as SJ Lim and Leander Lazaro, who competed while wearing their high-performance, agility-, stability-, and unbelievably comfortable Skechers Pickleball shoes.

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’s unwavering 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 expanding. The neighborhood is flourishing. Additionally, PPF and Skechers will be there at all times.
