Pickleball Win

Throughout semester 1, we have been playing the wonderful sport of pickleball during our weekly Tuesday afternoon classes at school. From the beginning of the term, we learned the basic rules, techniques, and strategies of the game, while continually improving our skills through practice and match play.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of pickleball was the opportunity to connect with others. Playing doubles and participating in class activities encouraged teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship. Each week, we worked with different classmates, allowing us to build new friendships and strengthen existing ones. The supportive and friendly environment made every lesson both enjoyable and rewarding.

A major highlight of the semester was the pickleball tournament. The competition was exciting, with many close matches that tested our skills and determination. After working hard throughout the term, Haorui (Year 9) and I were proud to win the tournament. It was a great achievement and reflected the progress we had made over the semester.

Overall, pickleball is an excellent experience that combined physical activity, teamwork, and fun. It helped us develop new skills, build meaningful connections, and grow our appreciation for sport. The lessons and memories from this semester will stay with us long after the final game.
