Pickleball by Euro School of Tennis (Tues)

• Grades: TK to 3rd

• Pickleball program isn’t just about the game itself; it embodies a fundamental principle underlying sportsmanship worldwide, as epitomized by the founder of the modern Olympic Games: “The essence of pickleball isn’t solely about winning, but rather about engaging fully in the game, much like the spirit of the Olympics. Victory is not the ultimate goal; rather, it’s about embracing the challenges and giving your best effort on the court. Success lies not in conquering opponents, but in playing with determination and skill.”

In our after-school pickleball program, we instill this maxim into the everyday experiences of our students on the court. While winning is gratifying, simply participating and contributing to the team are paramount in Pickleball Pursuits.
