Southport Elementary Kids Learn Pickleball thanks to the SJPA

Thanks to the St. James pickleball players who volunteered their time over the past two weeks to instruct the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students at Southport Elementary to play pickleball. 

The students and coaches alike had lots of fun learning and playing and are looking forward to our return next year to expand on what they have learned. 

Many thanks for all the coaches, Janet Banks, Kathy Goliszek, Diana Kelly, Eileen and Mike Kopunek,  Diane Norton, Kim Nowakowski, Robin Pantalena, Karen and Jan Pasquale, Cathy Rienth, Marilou Rubright, Stacey Stanzel, Linda Troiano and Deb Warner. 

The students were also very appreciative of the new nets and pickleballs donated by the St. James Pickleball Association’s Sunshine Committee.  They have made a significant improvement in the program.
