Pickleball surged through Shah Alam on October 4–5 as the Leapmotor Pickleball Showdown 2025 turned Picklefy at Shah Alam into a two-day cauldron of rallies, laughter, and community. Organizers KL Pickle Buddies and Bang & Roar drew over 700 participants—one of Malaysia’s largest turnouts this year—spanning novice to upper-intermediate brackets, a team event, and juniors.
Pickleball Malaysia: A Sport on the Rise
Once considered a niche pastime, pickleball has become one of Malaysia’s fastest-growing sports. Its mix of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong appeals to players of all ages and fitness levels.
The Shah Alam showdown perfectly captured that spirit—courts buzzing with laughter, lively rallies, and a strong sense of community. Players of all backgrounds came together not just to compete, but to connect, learn, and celebrate a shared love for the sport.

Lifestyle Experience On and Off the Court
This wasn’t just a bracket grind. Cooling zones, shaded lounges, and rest areas gave players room to reset between matches. Title sponsor Leapmotor Malaysia anchored the lifestyle footprint: fans slipped into the Leapmotor C10 for test-drive experiences while catching courtside action. (The C10 is the brand’s five-seat electric SUV now sold locally.)
Beyond the courts, players and fans had plenty to cheer about. The Merch & Paddle Giveaway offered exclusive Leapmotor merchandise and the coveted Sypik Avatar pickleball paddle, adding extra excitement to the weekend.
Top winners took home a standout prize — an exclusive one-month driving experience with the Leapmotor C10, a fitting reward for champions of Malaysia’s growing pickleball community.
Building Malaysia’s Pickleball Community
The success of the Leapmotor Pickleball Showdown 2025 highlights how far pickleball has come in Malaysia. With events like this drawing hundreds of players and spectators, the sport is quickly becoming a social and recreational staple nationwide.
As the final rallies ended and the crowd’s cheers faded, one thing was clear: pickleball in Malaysia isn’t just growing—it’s thriving.
