Inside The Kitch’n Club: Kota Damansara

The Kitch’n Club was born from a simple but powerful idea: create a welcoming space where people connect through the joy of pickleball. Tucked in the heart of Kota Damansara, the club has become a warm, lively hub where beginners test the waters, intermediates chase the next rating bump, and families find a weekly ritual. Programs are built around fun, fundamentals, and feedback—three ingredients that keep players coming back for seconds.

The club’s mission is to reinvest its profits into the community—supporting athletes and improving the customer experience—with a focus on empowering underprivileged players through training, equipment, and pathways to international competition. In an emerging Malaysian pickleball scene, that mission sets a clear north star.

Origin Story: Wellness First, Community Next

Founders Ben and Clarine built the club out of a personal turn toward health. After Ben’s battle with osteoarthritis, the pair gravitated to pickleball as a low-impact, social way to stay active. The venue’s name—The Kitch’n Club—is a playful nod to the “kitchen,” pickleball’s no-volley zone, and to their goal of blending sport and cuisine under one roof.

What You’ll Find on Court

The Kitch’n Club welcomes players at all levels—first-timers, returners, and intermediates with DUPR goals. The throughline is consistency: clear instruction, repeatable drills, and feedback you can use in the very next rally.

Programs are designed to meet people where they are—and move them forward.
