“Pickleball is helping develop our students at JC Charyk. While playing pickleball our students have developed better hand-eye coordination skills that have helped them with their other sports like badminton, hockey, basketball, and football to name a few. Pickleball has also helped to develop students’ social skills and has given students an opportunity to meet fellow community members while playing a sport they love.”

Thanks, 

Clint Mohl

St. Joseph High School - Red Deer

“The St. Joseph students enjoyed learning about the game of pickleball, and were very excited to try out their new skills at the Red Deer Pickleball courts at Motorworks Fields. They saw improvements each day that they were there, and became quite competitive. A few students showed interest in the upcoming Jamboree that is taking place in the summer.”
