Introduction to Pickleball for PE teachers, Primary Teachers or Active Schools / Colleges Co-ordinators – the Local Ambassador Award. For people who have skills and qualifications in delivering sport and activity classes we offer a three hour workshop which introduces you to the game and simultaneously provides you with the outline of our key principles for introducing the game.
Local Ambassadors learn our principles for introducing the basics during Game On! learning:
We provide a 12 lesson plan for BGE produced by our University of Edinburgh teaching colleagues and a booklet which reminds you of the approach. We also provide a template that you can put your own logo onto to show that you have received this training.
If you would like us to deliver this course you need to have courts available and a minimum of 4 participants. The maximum number of participants is 5 for each court you have available.
