Pickleball for WellbeingTM
This is a modified pickleball session that does sport in a different way to reduce barriers to participation, get people more active, and offer opportunities to make new friends. Pickleball for Wellbeing is focused on the positive physical and mental health benefits of the game. It is a uniquely facilitated session delivered by a trained ambassador or coach with an understanding about how to tailor activities for all levels of ability so that everyone feels supported and can achieve success.
