What’s a great end of year Field Trip for a group of 16 Five & Six year olds? Why a fun time at the Local Pickleball Courts of course!
Summerside, Prince Edward Island’s Pickleball Club competitive pickleball player, Melanie MacDonald thought her Kindergarten students would enjoy learning to play pickleball and having a load of fun at the same time.
She was right on!
After getting permission from Parents, school and School Board Officials, Marilyn set about booking an Assistant and 3 awesome Summerside Pickleball player friends to help out. The courts were booked for a beautiful day in June.
Finally, the exciting day arrived! Melanie and her Kindergarten KB Class from Parkside Elementary School, Summerside, PEI, boarded the school bus for the 10 minute ride to the amazing outdoor pickleball courts!
The students were very excited to get to try this sport that their Teacher, Ms. MacDonald so often mentioned.
Everything was extremely well organized and both students and adults had a blast. All went as planned.
Many parents and other players stopped by to watch the fun, see the happy faces and hear the giggles.
The children and parents talked non stop about the fantastic morning at the pickleball courts.
A very special outing that our Club Member Melanie thoroughly enjoyed. Such great memories for her Kindergarten students in this very lively and fun introduction to our fantastic sport of Pickleball.
There Truly is No Age 🙂
