National High School Club Pickleball

We believe that students who have ties to their school will make better choices in the classrooms, creating stronger and more relationships with peers and develop purpose.

We believe that school sponsored pickleball is a unique sport in that it provides opportunities for its members, such as, sportsmanship, cooperative play, positive social interaction, physical benefits, and mental health benefits.

Pickleball in High School and Junior High can help an individual to find purpose. It should not be the only purpose. It should be a framework where the student find a direction and learn how to plan, adjust, and do. We learn to build a relationship with someone different than ourselves: Teammates. We will carry relationship and purpose thoughout our lives.

Club pickleball is a SPORT that allows everyone a chance to play and all players equal chances to determine the match score. It is accessible to any school. Mixed doubles should be based on earned partners by rank. The season is recommended as both a fall and spring secondary sport. This will provide more involvement for off season play.

This suggested dual meet schedule is to give Opportunities for Mixed Doubles to easily score, evenly score, and to partner by team standing.

For example: The 4th ranked girl would play with the 4th ranked boy.

Each doubles team could earn team points in their efforts.

We recommend your club could start by using Apps like "Swish" or "Team Reach" to reach out to nearby schools.(for Arizona the code is 859758) Larger clubs may use an app to communicate events at your school. You may want to announce to others of your club using the "contact Us" page at this site.

Competition will drive the concept of a sport that is available year-round and can include everyone. Without cuts, a junior varsity team or a freshman team. It will promote the opportunity for real platonic working relationships built on mutual respect for male/female teams. Where everyone earns their partner through ladders or apps (DUPR) and athletes are provided an opportunity to score.

Attention:

We suggest clubs use Using the dual meet form that allows every athlete a chance to compete and score.

Fun loving clubs will turn into dedicated athletes with PURPOSE, when competitive pickleball arrives.

We hope to have your continued support. - Kenny Cail, National High School Club Pickleball 501.c3
