Robinsons Sports and Leisure (RSL) has been officially launched, aiming to enhance the lifestyle of Filipinos by providing diverse sports and leisure experiences. This initiative will blend international sports concepts with local preferences to ensure accessibility and relevance.
A Localized Approach to Global Experiences
The world is full of exciting ways to play, compete and recharge. We at Robinsons Land want to bring more of these experiences within reach of every Filipino and make them feel right at home here.
Ramon Rivero, Chief Strategist and RSL Head
RSL's 'glocal' strategy emphasizes the need to combine global sports expertise with an understanding of local cultures. This approach will cater to everyone from newcomers to seasoned athletes, making various sports and recreational activities more inclusive.
- Rooftop courts and recreational spaces in urban areas.
- Public events to foster community engagement, such as the upcoming RSL Run Crew at the AIA Rock ’n’ Roll Running Series Manila.
The first of these initiatives will be seen on November 29, featuring a running event that merges fitness with live entertainment, showcasing Manila's vibrant culture.
Expanding Leisure Opportunities
On December 7, the GX Sports facility at Robinsons Galleria will open, featuring specialized training zones for activities like pickleball and HYROX, a global fitness race. This facility aims to provide a structured environment for both casual participants and aspiring competitors.
RSL's plans also include hosting the PPA Asia 500 Manila Open 2027 at the new Helios Beta facility in Bridgetowne, which will feature 14 tournament-grade pickleball courts. This event will further elevate the sport's profile in the Philippines.
Future Developments in Community Engagement
Beyond sports, RSL envisions a wide array of entertainment options, including the NUSTAR Grand Theater in Cebu, expected to be the largest venue in the VisMin region. This venue will expand the cultural offerings available to Filipinos.
As RSL continues to develop, it aims to create welcoming spaces that encourage community interaction and promote an active lifestyle. This is part of Robinsons Land's broader strategy to enhance its portfolio by integrating leisure and wellness into its developments.
