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.
Pickleball is a great sport that can
be played at all different levels. It
helps keep people active in a fun
and engaging way. Putting
pickleball courts in will bring the
community more together and
encourage them to be more
physically active.
Areas of low income may not be able to
afford transportation, bikes for their
children, or repairs on bikes. This program
allows all children to have a chance of
learning to ride a bicycle, encourages
physical activity, and allows a form of
transportation for some adults.
The Charleston Sled hockey team is an
adaptive hockey league for youth and
adults who have physical disabilities
and are unable to skate in standing
position.
Increasing physical activity levels is an inherent process of sports organizations and clubs across the state of West Virginia, further serving as a platform for citizens of all ages and abilities to engage in enjoyable physical activity. Thus, sports professionals can play a vital role in fostering a culture of physical activity. This can be accomplished by leveraging expertise and community connections to strengthen and showcase existing programs that demonstrate best practices. Sports professionals, including coaches, trainers, and organizations, can extend their reach by designing and implementing diverse and inclusive programs throughout the state.
Improving the culture of physical activity in our state by providing awareness, education, guidance, and opportunities.
