Activity: Pickle ball lessons on Aug 6, 2026
Goal: To improve Social and Well being of my friends and neighbours.
A lot of my friends and neighbours are not very active. I want to host a Pickle Ball event to teach them this new sport, and to help them stay active, and get into exercising routines.
There were 11 neighbours and friends attended this event. Thankfully, the Pickle Ball Courts were available on this day. The weather was nice with very little wind, making it a perfect day to learn and play the game.
A friend was there with me to teach the rest about the basic rules of the sport. The event went very well and everyone was so excited and had fun learning the game. We ran around sweating so much in the sun and played for about 3 hours. Everyone was so sweaty, tired and hungry after the game. We then carried our tiring bodies to have a meal together. We had a great conversation about how much they enjoyed this new sport. We will try to get together to play pickle balls more frequently in smaller groups during the summer months.
We are so thankful that NSG approved funding for this project, so that we have enough money to buy pickle balls and racquets. We will definitely try to apply for NSG next year in hope for bringing more people from our community together to stay active, and to learn this game
