Goal

To create a pickleball club for the students in Immokalee who may never get to be exposed to the sport as well as creating an opportunity for physical activity before the school day begins. We will also do a pickleball unit with all the students in the school K-5 for 3 weeks of the year. 

 

What will be done with my students

Students will be taught how to play pickleball and be given equipment to use to play the sport before school. We will also teach a three week pickleball unit during the school year to all the students at Eden Park Elementary K-5. We will have several students mentored as the pickleball club managers and guide them to be effective leaders.

The grant monies will be used to help purchase pickleball paddles, balls and an equipment storage cart.  

 

Benefits to my students

Learning to play pickleball will give students self-confidence, benefit their social and emotional well being and help develop a lifetime fitness attitude. Physical activity before school also improves their readiness to learn.  

 

Budget Narrative

Pickleball rackets are expensive and we are trying to earn funds from other places to support the club. The $400 we are asking for will be able to purchase about 20 rackets. The cart is essential for facilitating the process of getting equipment passed out to the students and returned.
