Pickleball in the Philippines continues to surge, and at the heart of that growth is a format that has captured the energy, competitiveness, and team spirit of the sport: The Dink Minor League Pickleball (MiLP).
Brought to the Philippines by Pickle Crew Ph, The Dink MiLP has already seen two highly successful runs, drawing players from all over the country and helping elevate the local competitive scene. With its unique team-based format, MiLP has quickly become one of the most exciting tournament experiences for Filipino pickleball players, blending strategy, camaraderie, and high-stakes play into one dynamic event.
Now, the third chapter unfolds.
On July 25, 2026, The Dink MiLP returns, this time at Kingcourts Pickleball in Pampanga, north of Manila, where players and teams will once again battle for pride, rankings, and the coveted championship title.
A key part of this journey has been the steadfast support of Kitchen Blockers, the world’s first lens-less protective eyewear designed specifically for pickleball. As a major sponsor of the event, Kitchen Blockers continues to champion both player performance and player safety, helping athletes keep their vision clear while staying protected on court.
This partnership goes beyond branding. It represents a shared commitment to growing the sport responsibly and competitively.
To make this upcoming leg even more special, all champions of The Dink MiLP Philippines on July 25 will receive special edition Kitchen Blockers, making the victory not only hard-earned but uniquely memorable.
For Kitchen Blockers, supporting The Dink MiLP Philippines is about more than sponsorship. It is about investing in the continued growth of competitive pickleball worldwide, empowering athletes to perform at their best, and helping build a stronger, more connected community around the sport.
With Kitchen Blockers standing alongside that mission, the future of Philippine pickleball looks sharper than ever.
See you in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines! Game on.
