No phone, no tablet – instead are exciting pickleball sessions from morning to night – this special program is helping children “quit” technology effectively, while bringing impressive growth revenue to the owner.
Pickleball, a hybrid sport between tennis, badminton and table tennis, is gradually becoming a trend among young people in Vietnam. But not only that, it was developed into a unique educational tool.
In Da Nang, when participating in the Pickleball summer course lasts from 1 to 4 weeks, the children have to submit all electronic equipment and activities according to the strict time frame: gymnastics – exercise – lunch break – afternoon exercise – group activities and go to bed on time.
Initially, many children were uncomfortable when they were separated from their phones and tablets. But after only a few days, the children quickly integrated, passionate about movement, more and more fun.
Parents not only find their children healthier but also surprised because their children no longer depend on digital devices. “My child loves the game very much, but after 2 weeks here, he abandoned the phone. Go home only demanding his mother to take the playground to the playground,” a parent shared.
According to the representative of the Summer Course Organizing Committee, June revenue increased by more than 30% compared to the same period last year thanks to the large number of students. The classes are always closed, many parents take the initiative to register early to keep their children. “We just think of testing this model for children to exercise summer, unexpectedly accepted,” the owner said.
Not only is the training place, the yard also organizes mini League, family tournaments, exchanges to maintain passion for the children after the course. Many parents also participate in playing with their children, forming a strong and healthy Pickleball community.
In the context that children are increasingly dependent on electronic equipment, the model of “summer vacation with pickleball” has proven the effectiveness exceeding expectations: helping children to exercise, discipline, improve communication – and bring significant economic value to community playgrounds.
