  • Pickleball and Top sports stories of 2025
    2025/12/26

    Today on the show we're talking about the rise of pickleball in Korea and where to get paddles and balls as well as where to find courts. Then we're talking about our top 10 sports stories of the year because Mr. S didn't like the list in the papers. We have our own ideas.

    Also some breaking pickleball news came our way just before recording and we squeezed it through the kitchen!

    Notes:

    Private clubs and courts around Seoul, including Spomotive in Banpo, Songdo Incheon. Banyan Tree Club has pickleball and hosts the Seoul Open. Wonju has a dedicated court. Not as common elsewhere.

    Busan Dongrae has a pickleball club, but they seem to be using an indoor badminton court and free nets. There is a national organization now.

    Today on the show it has come to our attention that around this time of year some foreigners plan to return home, so why not get them a bucket list of sports and activities to try before leaving? Some are season dependent so plan accordingly. Some are death-defying like paragliding! But hey, it's cheap here, so do it while you can!

    GOTW: Many K2 games and the K1 relegation is still competitive.
