My Project

Pickleball is such a fun and exciting sport! Starting a pickleball team for students at my elementary school would provide many benefits including cooperation, hand-eye coordination, learning and following rules, teamwork and sportsmanship. Being on a pickleball team will provide students with exercise, encourage interest in sports and promote a healthy balance between academics and fun!

Students are ready for the pickleball craze!

All of the equipment will be used to teach students in my school how to play pickleball and start a team. Once my students learn the techniques of holding the paddles and how to hit the ball over the net, our team will be ready for competitions!
