My Project

I have recently become obsessed with pickleball, so I decided to bring paddles to school to allow my students to practice hitting the ball against the handball board...and they love it! They are developing their hand-eye coordination, getting their cardio going, learning to play as a team, and having a ball!

My students are excited and ready to play a proper game of pickleball, but first we need a net!

This portable pickleball net with lockable rollers will be perfect for the kids to play on and allows easy relocation when they are finished and need to put it away. I have also requested pickleball paddles and balls.

Help us get out of this pickle and into pickleball!
