Program Description: Buddy Up Pickleball is a moderate-intensity workout promoting hand-eye coordination, agility, and core strength for our Athletes with Down syndrome (ages 12+). Our 60-minute clinic consists of 50 minutes of professional pickleball and 10 minutes of ball control and tracking activities. Athletes are partnered with Buddy Volunteers (ages 14+) to provide support, develop friendships, and reinforce the Coaches’ instructions. Coaches are trained to implement the pickleball curriculum specifically created for Athletes with Down syndrome. Join us on the courts!
Our Buddy Up Pickleball program is held on Saturday mornings at Ronnie Grandison Sports Academy.
