This project will service grades K-5 and introduce students to the Lifetime Sport of Pickleball. This Path2Play Pickleball Circuit Pack helps students build essential striking skills so they can jump into pickleball ready for success. Designed as a fun and structured introduction, this pack uses progressive stations and engaging equipment to support active, skill-building learning. It is a great solution for teachers looking to simplify instruction while keeping students moving and involved.

This project meets the needs of all students on my campus. This circuit pack uses a series of station boards and teacher cards to guide students through skill progression. Each station focuses on developing striking fundamentals using different manipulatives, helping students improve technique step by step. Students begin with striking a balloon with their hand, working up to striking a ball with a paddle. Clear start and stop directions on each board make it easy for students to stay on task and work independently.

The full pack includes all the equipment needed to run each station, making setup quick and efficient for teachers. A variety of lightweight and easy-to-use items, like balloons, beach balls, and training volleyballs, allow students to practice at different skill levels. This is a new sport that is being introduced in schools and parks. I feel it will impact student learning by sparking interest and promoting active lifestyles. Pickleball can be played by our staff and even our after-school programs.
