The Main Goal
Implement pickleball courts and teach the community how to play.
The Purpose
Pickleball is becoming a very popular activity for all ages to play. It is a low impact, easy to learn, and can be a cost efficient activity. Providing classes for everyone to learn helps encourage participation and introduces them to a fun physical activity to do on their own or with the community.
The launch of this program had great success, with a lot of community participation which led to bringing more people out and communities putting in pickleball courts around the area. They called it the “pickle bug.” With the success of this they were able to strengthen their partnership with Active Southern West Virginia and they continue to work together with the class volunteers.
Improving the culture of physical activity in our state by providing awareness, education, guidance, and opportunities.
