I was very disappointed with the poster making process. I was surprised by how long it took. Also, after completing the posters and emphasizing safety, as soon as we got in the gym and they got paddles in their hand, it all went out the window.

Lesson 1- Safety Posters took 2 class periods.  That was too much time.
Lesson 2- This lesson worked well
Lesson 3- Added cooperative game to this lesson
Lesson 4- Made the racquetball game a competitive game

Lesson 1- Safety Posters.  I wanted to teach the kids a little history, safety and etiquette with the hopes of getting some buy-in from the students
Lesson 2- Was pushed back a day because of the posters.  The goal was to work on paddle control, hand/eye coordination, and the underhand serve
Lesson 3- Underhand serves, forehand and backhand drills
Lesson 4- Put all of the former skills together to play a cooperative game against the wall (similar to racquetball)
Lesson 5 through 9- Competitive games on the court

I needed to know how the students perceived racket sports and what was holding them back from enjoying it, so I developed a rating scale assessment.

I really wanted to introduce pickleball in a way that promotes racket sports as a fun, lifelong physical activity
