When Ayala Land chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala’s family was visiting one of their daughters in the United States, they discovered pickleball, a fun and easy racquet sport that mixes elements of ping-pong, tennis and badminton.
“It's like the fastest-growing sport there, so my sister mentioned that it would be a great way for our family to come together,” says Mariana Zobel, the eldest of JAZA’s three daughters.
JAZA’s family proved it when they played a pickleball exhibition at Greenbelt 5, where a green hardcourt had been set up overnight. While JAZA partnered with Mariana, his wife Lizzie teamed up with son Jaime Alfonso for a friendly doubles match. “It's not about competition,” notes Mariana. “It's really about community. It promotes physical fitness, camaraderie and a sense of community. And what I'm personally most excited about is the fact that it's very inclusive. I've seen people of all ages, from grandparents to younger children, engage and enjoy the sport.
