Kingston Elementary School

Pickleball at Kingston Elementary School in Hesperia, CA is woven directly into the school's After-School Activities Program (A.S.A.P.), giving students consistent access to 4 outdoor courts and 2 indoor courts. The program is membership-based and reserved for students and staff, so participation runs through the school community. When weather interferes with outdoor play, games shift to the cafeteria, keeping the schedule intact. The initiative was championed by Principal Teri Green, whose commitment brought pickleball onto campus as a structured after-school activity for kids.
