In April 2025, Xiangbo Xia, co-founder of ISCEA, successfully organized the Pickleball Youth China Tour, bringing together 30 junior pickleball players from Maryland, USA. The delegation visited Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, engaging with hundreds of Chinese and American youth athletes. Through friendly matches, skill exchanges, and cultural visits, the event showcased the unique charm of pickleball as an emerging global sport and built deep friendships among youth from both countries. This successful initiative opened new directions for future exchanges among youth, adults, and professional coaches.
