My Project

The nets and balls will make a difference in teaching students how to play tennis and pickleball. It will allow all students in a class to have their own equipment to learn skills, drills and the game.

My goal for this project is to teach students how to play tennis and pickleball using the equipment we are requesting.

My students are special because they work hard and are eager to learn tennis and pickleball. Learning pickleball will give the students an opportunity to be exposed to a new sport that will enable them continue to be physically fit while learning a new sport they will enjoy as a part of their lifetime fitness.
