CSHS Youth Program

Chief Sealth High School

Westside Youth Program is all about fun and fostering a love for the game. Our goal emphasizes fun, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. We also encourage adults to support youth players with the same positive mindset. Instructor will teach basics and lead drills the first 4 weeks. Coordinators will be available throughout the program to help with rules, line calls, and scoring.

  • Approximately 1:5 adult-to-child ratio

  • Westside provides balls and nets.  Loaner paddles are available.

Beginner Level: No prior pickleball experience necessary. Perfect for kids new to the game! We’ll teach the basics—rules, scoring, serving, dinking, and more—through engaging drills and playful instruction.

Experienced Skill Level: For experienced players who know the rules and can keep score. Kids will jump into exciting games with rotating partners and opponents. Let the rallies begin!
