Every so often, an event comes along that brings the entire racquet sports world under one roof. RacquetsUp Expo is that event, and this February it lands in Toronto for a weekend built for players, fans, and racquet sport lovers of every level.
Pong Home is proudly partnered with RacquetsUp Expo, one of the largest events for racquet sport lovers in North America. As a table tennis coaching and gear platform built around this sport, we know how rare it is to see tennis, table tennis, pickleball, padel, squash, and badminton share the same weekend, the same city, and the same energy. We are excited to be part of it, and even more excited to see the table tennis community show up in force.
What is RacquetsUp Expo?
RacquetsUp Expo is shaping up to be Canada’s premier racquet sports experience, bringing players, brands, and the racquet sports community together for an action-packed weekend. Built around community, product discovery, and on-court experiences, the Expo lets you connect with fellow players, test the latest gear, watch live demos, learn from top players and coaches, and compete in an exciting mini tournament. It’s more than an expo, it’s a weekend to play, connect, and elevate.
The Expo is held in partnership with Canada’s national governing bodies, including Table Tennis Canada, giving the event a level of credibility and reach that few gear or lifestyle shows can match. Its tagline says it best: Play. Connect. Elevate.

Pong Home's role in the partnership
