Pros Head Overseas, $100K Amateur Nationals, Global Pickleball Alliance

This week on the PicklePod, Zane and Tice dive into one of the wildest slates of global pickleball we’ve had in a while — even if half of it was nearly impossible to find online. We break down tournaments in Vietnam, Australia, and China, plus look ahead to the biggest December events in the pickleball world. From the mystery surrounding DJOY Vietnam, to Bondi’s underdog run at MLP Australia, to new partnerships forming for Hangzhou, we're covering everything the pickleball diehards want to know. And yes… we attempt the impossible: building the worst pickleball player in the top 20. We also talk Dink Awards, Minor League Nationals, Juniors vs. the Breakers, the Pickleball Marathon world record attempt, APP Tour Championships, Daytona chaos, and the freshest international storylines in the sport. Topics include: • D-JOY Vietnam recap • MLP Australia finals + Bondi’s run • APP's new Global Pickleball Alliance + rankings • December pickleball schedule: Minor League Nationals, Dink Awards, Hangzhou Open, APP Championships, PPA Daytona • Junior phenoms changing the game • Building the worst top-20 pro (fan-suggested segment!) 👉 Subscribe for new episodes every week and stay plugged into the fastest-growing sport in the world.
