Pickleball wildfire in the Philippines
Mariano Marcos State University, Ilocos Norte
In early August 2024, Mike Johnson and PickleballJeff traveled to the northern tip of Luzon to assist Lito Custodio with introducing pickleball at Mariano Marcos State University in Ilocos Norte. After a successful launch, Lito was able to generate excitement among the students, who promptly established a pickleball club.
According to Mike Johnson, the President of the Philippine Pickleball Federation, pickleball is rapidly gaining popularity in the Philippines. New pickleball groups and clubs (143 to date and counting) are springing up across the country, with the sport even being played in shopping malls. Expatriates traveling to the Philippines or other parts of Asia can now pack their paddles and join in the pickleball craze. Earlier this year, the Philippine Olympic Committee officially adopted pickleball, making the Philippines the first nation to receive national Olympic recognition for the sport.
