Pickleball Club at Hope College: Serving Up Fun and Inclusivity for Students
Hope College, located in Holland, Michigan, has a long list of student clubs and organizations from fly fishing, to outdoor adventure clubs, and more. Over the past year, the newly added pickleball club has gained traction within the student body, boasting an average of 50 students showing up weekly to participate in practices. Club President Nate Jobson says, “We encourage students to join through campus advertisements, like putting meetings in the weekly campus emails or on the TVs around the school. We also use Instagram to post events, and those will often get put up on other campus accounts.”
