The Pickleball World Championships 2025 lit up in spectacular fashion on Tuesday, November 4, as XGLOsive returned to transform the courts at Brookhaven Country Club into a radiant, glow-in-the-dark playground. The special “XGLOsive Glow in the Dark Pickleball” programme, held from 6 PM to 8:25 PM, infused the night with neon energy, music, and celebration, turning the ongoing championship into a dazzling fusion of sport and entertainment. Players and fans alike were seen jamming, dancing, and rallying under beams of electric light, as pulsating DJ beats and vibrant colours set the stage for a night of fun. The event, part of the week-long championship running from November 4 to 9, showcased the lighter, more playful side of pickleball — one that celebrates community and creativity as much as competition. Florida-based XGLOsive, founded by former tennis professional Jackie Marriott, has built a reputation for revolutionizing racquet sports through immersive blacklight experiences. The company blends LED-lit courts, laser lighting, and upbeat music to create an atmosphere where fitness meets festivity. Earlier this year, XGLOsive also made waves at the Basketball Tour in Mount Laurel on August 14, bringing its signature glow to another sporting arena. Tournament organisers said the initiative aims to make pickleball “more inclusive and exciting for all ages,” with XGLOsive bridging the gap between athletic intensity and fan engagement. With its neon courts and nightclub-style ambiance, XGLOsive proved once again that pickleball can shine — literally — as both a thrilling sport and a dazzling spectacle.
