Mumbai, May 29, 2023: The two day National Pickleball tournament concluded with a resounding success at Pakyong on Sunday.

Participants aged between 8 years to over 70 years gave their best shot in the tournament. Mr. Ashok Mohanani won the Gold in men’s doubles 60+ category as well as Bronze in the men’s doubles 50+ category.


Speaking on the occasion Mr. Ashok Mohanani, President of IPA (Indian Pickleball Association) & Chairman Ekta World said, “This year’s tournament saw a larger turnout of participants from across the country.

Pickleball is a popular racket sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Pickleball can be played either indoor or outdoor with a racket or paddle in which two players (singles), or four players (doubles), hit a perforated hollow plastic ball over a 36-inch-high (0.91 m) net using solid-faced paddles. Opponents on either side of the net hit the ball back and forth until one side commits a fault.
