My Project

Having Pickleball paddles will directly impact the students' learning experience. Having the right tools ensures that students can engage in the game effectively, improving their hand-eye coordination, motor skills, and overall physical fitness. It creates an environment where students can grasp the fundamental concepts of pickleball and enjoy the learning process.

The primary goal is to introduce elementary students to the growing sport of pickleball.

This aims to diversify the PE curriculum and provide students with exposure to a sport they may not have encountered before.

The students' enthusiasm for learning and trying new activities makes them special. The project aims to tap into this enthusiasm, using pickleball as a medium to keep students actively engaged in PE classes.
