🏆 THE KITCH’N COOK-OFF TOURNAMENT

Get ready to turn up the heat — because The Kitch’n Cook-Off Tournament is stepping into full boil! 🔥🍳🏓

Hosted at The Kitch’n Club, this unique pickleball tournament blends the competitive thrill of the sport with all the fun, flavor, and chaos of a busy kitchen. The courts will transform into a culinary battleground where players deliver crispy smashes, spicy rallies, silky-smooth drops, and saucy counterattacks that would make any chef proud.

Proudly organized by The Kitch’n Club, passionately sponsored by Zocker, and strongly supported by KL Pickle Buddies (KLPB), this event is all about community, passion, and celebrating the joy of play.

Players will be slicing, dicing, whisking, and smashing through brackets as they fight to prove who’s truly able to handle the kitchen heat. Will you cook up a victory, or will your opponents serve you instead? One thing’s for sure, this tournament will be well-seasoned, high-energy, and unforgettable.

Bring your best game. Bring the spice. Bring the heat, because in The Kitch’n Cook-Off Tournament, only one team will become the Executive Chef of the Court.
