At the sports complex of Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University, we introduced everyone to this dynamic, inclusive, and exciting sport that is rapidly winning hearts around the world.

Together, we learned the basic techniques, studied the game’s rules, and made our first rallies on the pickleball court.

Once again, we proved that pickleball is equally accessible and exciting for everyone, regardless of experience or physical ability.

After the open lesson, we held a charity cup, the main goal of which was to raise funds to support Ukrainian veterans and to create the first national adaptive pickleball team, including players in wheelchairs and with limb prosthetics.

We raised funds to develop this important initiative and gifted each other unforgettable emotions, new skills, and an incredible sense of team spirit!

We express our sincere gratitude to Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University and the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports for their hospitality, openness to inclusion, and support of sports initiatives. CASATI company — for their ongoing support of sports development and of our veterans.

And heartfelt thanks to every participant, spectator, and partner who became part of this unforgettable day. You are the driving force behind positive change!

Many more events are ahead — together, we are building a strong, open, and supportive community through sport!
