If you missed the Ivy Sports Day this past weekend, where Columbia came in 3rd place overall, we have another fun filled, competitive, and social athletics event planned for you.  

Come discover your passion for pickleball at Asia Aces Pickleball Academy, founded by Former Hong Kong No. 1 tennis player and pickeball player Venise Chan @venisechan and see what the craze is all about. You will be guided by an expert coach whether you just want to learn the basics or are ready to elevate your game to the next level. All levels welcomed! There is a cafe and bar serving cold draft beer and other drinks for you to rehydrate and relax with your fellow alums in between games.
