Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our high school students are so stoked to be starting their second inaugural year of having a pickle ball club on campus! Pickle ball is a fun, unifying sport for all athletic abilities that is a mixture between tennis and ping pong that I would love to expand our school Thunder pickle ball club to reach more students with your help.

My goal is to continue to coach an extracurricular pickle ball club that will evolve this year into a school pickle ball team that can compete with other high schools and community pickle ball clubs.
