In particular, for the first time in Vietnam, the pickleball community will have an honorary award called Vietnam Pickleball Awards 2025. This is an event to recognize the contributions of athletes, coaches, clubs... who have contributed to the overall development of pickleball. This award is considered the "Oscar" of the Vietnamese Pickleball community, marking a transition towards true professionalism.
In addition, PWC Pickleball also announced the documentary project "Pickleball Vietnam: From Zero to Hero" recreating the development journey of the sport, along with the launch of PWC World Magazine - the first in-depth magazine on pickleball tactics and lifestyle.
