World No. 1 women’s pickleball pro Anna Leigh Waters provided a day of fun for fifth graders on Friday at Gerald Ford Elementary School in Indiana Wells, California.
Along with her mom and fellow pro, Leigh Waters, they held a pickleball Q&A, clinic, and demonstration. They also played some games with the kids.
Anna and Leigh teamed up with FILA and Franklin to provide the 100 students with shirts, paddles, and pickleballs.
Who knows, maybe in 10 years the next world no. 1 pickleballer will come from this classroom thanks to ALW’s inspiration.
