Okay pickleball friends, listen up.
If you’ve been playing every week, dragging your friends to the court, or secretly thinking your pickleball skills are getting quite solid, this might be your time to shine.
Picklefy is celebrating its 1st anniversary with the Picklefy 1st Anniversary Tournament, happening on 27 and 28 June 2026 at Picklefy, Shah Alam.
And they are not celebrating small-small.
Held together with KL Pickle Buddies (KLPB), the tournament is bringing together players from different skill levels for two days of rallies, competition, and full-on pickleball energy, with a total cash prize pool of RM54,800 up for grabs.
So yes, your usual “just play for fun lah” game might suddenly become very serious.
Basically, it’s a birthday party… but with paddles
For its first birthday, Picklefy is going all out by turning the celebration into a full-blown pickleball showdown.
Instead of just cake-cutting and photo-taking, they are bringing the community together for two days of matches, court-side excitement, and plenty of “wah, that shot!” moments.
The tournament starts at 8am, so players can expect a packed day of action from the first serve onwards.
Whether you are there to compete, test your skills, cheer for your pickleball gang, or simply soak in the buzz, it is shaping up to be a lively weekend for anyone who loves the sport.
And let’s be honest, pickleball has been taking over weekends lately. One moment you are trying it for fun, next thing you know, you are buying a paddle, booking courts, comparing shots, and asking your friends who is free for “one more game”.
9 categories, with cash prizes to chase
The good thing is, this tournament is not only for one type of player.
There will be 9 categories, covering men’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles, so players from different levels can join.
And here’s the fun part, each category comes with its own cash prizes for the Champion, 1st Runner-Up, 2nd Runner-Up, and 3rd Runner-Up.

So whether you are a regular player, a fast-improving beginner, or part of a duo that keeps saying “one day we should join tournament”, this could be your “okay, let’s actually do it” moment.
Do note that if a category does not achieve full team registration, its prize pool will be adjusted proportionally.
Why Picklefy though?
For those who haven’t been there, Picklefy is located in Shah Alam and offers 14 pickleball courts, so there’s plenty of space for players to enjoy the game.
The venue also has ball machines, premium courts, and wider court spacing, which means players can move around more comfortably and actually play without feeling too cramped.
It’s also built around the community side of pickleball, so it’s not just about booking a court and leaving after your session. It’s the kind of place where you might come for a game, meet new players, and somehow end up planning another session before you even go home.
