PEI Pickleball ÎPÉ has been providing Pickleball Coaches to schools across Prince Edward Island to introduce the students to the sport of Pickleball.
This is offered in the Physical Education class and is made possible by a grant from Amateur Sport, Division of Sport, Recreation, and Physical Activity. The response from the schools has been great, and the Children love it. The Phys Ed Teachers have been most welcoming. Over 1000 children have been introduced to the sport.
