My Project

With the rise of pickleball I have noticed a lot of interest from my students in the game. This has inspired me to want to teach them the skills necessary to play the game.

We have a very minimal amount of pickleball equipment, and I would like a class set of paddles, balls, and nets, to be able to teach my students how to play this popular game.

Pickleball is a kid-friendly game that with the skills they learn in PE, they can play the game with friends and family. It's a great way to get kids outside, active, and to create lifelong movers.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
