UPA Asia is excited to announce Infinity Academy as the Official Venue Partner for the UPA Asia Trailblazers Program Pre-Selection Training Camp, bringing world-class facilities to the next generation of Asian pickleball talent.
Infinity Academy will host the Trailblazers Program Pre-selection Training Camp in December, where shortlisted candidates will train under head coach Collin Johns.
Located on a 2-hectare (20,000 m²) campus in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 9, Infinity Academy features 11 pickleball courts and 10 tennis courts, including central courts for both sports, all equipped with VAR technology. The Academy has been purposefully designed to provide an optimal environment for training, competition, and tournament organization.
As the Official Venue Partner, Infinity Academy will offer a premier training environment and comprehensive athlete support. The collaboration reflects both organizations’ shared vision to elevate pickleball in Asia and establish Vietnam as a strategic hub for international pickleball development.
“We are thrilled to partner with UPA Asia to bring the Trailblazers program to Vietnam,” said Minh Anh Pham, CEO of Infinity Academy. “This partnership is not only an honor for our Academy but also a major milestone for Vietnam’s growing pickleball community. We can’t wait to welcome the best players in Asia at our Academy.”
Following the success of Season 1, when 12 athletes embarked on a transformative journey in professional pickleball, Season 2 of the Trailblazers Program will continue to elevate talent across Asia and establish the region as a growing force in the global pickleball landscape.
The Class of 2026 will be announced by March 2026, with the Trailblazers securing a 2-year UPA Asia Pro Contract and Rising Stars securing a 1-year UPA Asia Pro Contract. Trailblazers will unlock the opportunity to compete on the Carvana PPA Tour as part of an all-expenses-paid, six-week immersion in America’s pickleball heartland, training at world-class facilities under the guidance of esteemed coaches and gaining the tools to thrive in Asia and beyond. Rising Stars will compete on the PPA Tour Asia 2026, establishing themselves among the best in the region.
