Today BBC Newsround came to St Cecilia's to run a story on one of our students Oscar about his achievements playing Pickleball.  Oscar is currently ranked No#2 in England for under 16s following a second place in the recent Pickleball English Open. They came to do a story on him, including some of the other students in school who play Pickleball at a Longridge Club, one being Oscar's cousin Isaac.  Oscar, Isaac, grandad, uncles, dad and stepdad all play so it is a family thing!

There was a recent article in the news on how pickleball is one of the worlds fastest growing sports for all ages:
