In collaboration with Scottish Disability Sport we provide a pickleball-specific Disability Inclusion training course aimed at ambassadors and coaches who are interested in becoming involved with pickleball activity for people with physical, sensory or learning disabilities.

This is a 3-hour practical workshop which includes a mixture of discussion about communication skills, terminology and how best to use an inclusion approach to create opportunities for all participants to experience feelings of success and achievement from beginner right up to advanced levels of play. Tasks on court explore how to deliver safe warm-ups that will help assess ability levels and various Additional Support Needs (including neurodiversity), facilitating conditioned games, and a brief overview of adapted rules that apply to disabled players.

Format

• 1 x 3-hour face-to-face training event (with classroom and court based activity)
