Pickleball unit....

Our pickleball unit is moving right along at all three grade levels. In 6th grade classes, we spent about a week on our basic skills and will begin playing games today. In 7th and 8th grade classes, we are focusing on strategy and how to work with our teammates. The doubles game in pickleball involves a lot of rules but can be very fun and competitive if you play at a quick speed. Some things to remember about pickleball:

1. Stay positioned at the back of the court when you are serving or receiving.
2. After the ball has bounced one time on each side of the net, you can approach the net and practice using your smash.
3. Work with your teammate to use different shots and techniques in certain situations.
4. Have fun!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! The weather should start to warm up a little bit, hopefully just in time for softball tryouts (March 23rd and 24th from 3-5pm).
