Because pickleball is easy to learn and can be played in doubles, more students were able to participate during P.E. and recess, building teamwork, confidence, and excitement for physical activity. The extra nets meant multiple games could happen at once, so students spent more time playing and less time waiting, which encouraged broader engagement. For many, this donation opened the door to trying something new, staying active in a fun way, and connecting with peers, making a lasting difference in their school experience.\r\n\r\nStudents were so Excited when they saw the new equipment, and were eager to use it. We will be using the nets to support our after school sports program as well as allow students an opportunity to use the nets during their lunch recess due to the extreme heat in Arizona.","fullyFundedDate":1746850400946,"projectUrl":"project/pickleball-nets-for-title-1-school/9107784/","projectTitle":"Pickleball Nets for Title 1 School","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sholtis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5427060_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691088084038","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5427060"},{"teacherId":9878204,"projectId":9012365,"letterContent":"I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, from both myself and my students.
