BPS Sports Club Brings Pickleball to Goa: Goa just got its first taste of Pickleball fever, and it’s happening at Margao’s BPS Sports Club. With the inauguration of dual Pickleball courts—the first of their kind in the state—the club isn’t just leveling up its facilities; it’s putting Goa on the Pickleball map. Saturday’s ceremony felt like the sports equivalent of a big trade deadline deal—something you’ll talk about for weeks. Eng. Earnesto Moniz and club president Yogiraj Kamat were there to hype up the occasion, joined by a packed roster of club bigwigs. The vibe? Electric. Everyone knows this isn’t just a new court; it’s a new era for sports in the region.
Pickleball: The Underdog Sport Turning Big-Time
Let’s be real—Pickleball doesn’t exactly scream “global powerhouse” like soccer or cricket. But that’s the magic of it. It’s scrappy, it’s fast, and it’s fun as hell. Praveen Shenoy from the India Pickleball Association made the case for why Pickleball is exploding, with over 18,000 pickleball players nationwide. And if you didn’t think Goa could be part of this wave, think again. The upcoming “BPS Open” in January 2025 isn’t just a tournament; it’s a statement. This is Goa saying, “Hey, we’re here, and we’re ready to play.”
