On the morning of March 13 at AP Sports Club (HCMC), Holbrook Vietnam club officially debuted. This is a club founded by the international pickleball brand Holbrook.
The event marks an important milestone in the unit's development journey in the Vietnamese market, attracting the participation of a large number of athletes, partners, celebrities and the pickleball community.
The club gathers many outstanding athletes and KOLs in the pickleball community such as Anh Duy, Thanh Phuong, Nhat Thanh, Hai Han, Minh Quang, Justin Dang and many young tennis players.
In addition, the club also signed cooperation agreements with professional athletes in the region, marking an important step forward in the unit's athlete development strategy, notably Luan TG.
This is one of the outstanding pickleball athletes of Vietnam with many achievements at major tournaments such as Hoiana WPC, Sake Cup Quang Ngai, Pickleball D-Joy Tour and PPA Tour Asia Vietnam Cup.
In addition, Aditya Ruhela, India's leading pickleball athlete, also joined Holbrook's athlete system in Asia. Ruhela is currently ranked No. 1 in men's singles according to the PWR system, with many notable international titles such as Asia Pickleball Games 2023, PPA Vietnam Open 2024, IPA Indian Nationals 2025 and World Pickleball Championship 2022 in Bali.
According to the plan, in the near future, Luan TG and Aditya Ruhela will have combined performances at some major pickleball tournaments held in Vietnam, bringing high-quality matches and creating opportunities for domestic athletes to rub against international competition levels.
In 2026, Holbrook Vietnam identifies a number of important strategies. First of all, developing the pickleball community through a system of playgrounds and club partners nationwide. With the companionship of AP Sports Club, Holbrook is building standard sports spaces where players can practice, interact and improve their skills.
In addition, the unit also focuses on developing a system of competing athletes, through building Holbrook Competitive Team - a team of athletes representing brands to participate in domestic and regional tournaments.
Vietnam is one of the countries with the fastest growing pickleball movement in Asia, with an explosive number of players both amateur and professional. This sport has even attracted many famous tennis athletes to switch to competing.
Pickleball is becoming a part of urban sports life. With those foundations, the birth of the Holbrook club will contribute to promoting the movement to develop, creating fair and attractive competition with other units.
