Hosting The World's Largest Pickleball Lesson: Shape Up US Launches Fun Health Event for Kids
In its long-term quest to build a healthier future for children in the U.S., Shape Up US is teaming up with Munchkin Programs founder Mark Miller to launch "The World's Largest Pickleball Lesson [https://shapeupus.org/]" on 2 November 2024 at the McDowell Mountain Ranch Park off Paradise Lane, a premier pickleball destination.
Shape Up US was founded by executive director Jyl Steinback, widely acclaimed as "America's Healthiest Mom" and a national sensation. Steinback is also the creator of the Hip-Hop Healthy Heart Program for Children Trademark , the innovative Clap4Health initiative, and the author of the newest cookbook, "Think Outside The Lunchbox."
Steinback has been a transformative figure in the health and wellness industry for over 35 years. Her commitment to promoting healthy living has earned her a Community Leadership Award from the President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition.
As a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children and families to lead healthier and happier lives, Shape Up US advocates transforming education to include wellness curricula from kindergarten through sixth grade.
"Every child deserves a great start and our programs equip them with the tools and mindset to thrive. In this landmark pickleball Scottsdale [https://www.shapeupus.org/] event, we're collaborating with the celebrated founder of Munchkin Programs, Mark Miller, who is renowned for his innovative approach to children's sports education," said Steinback.
Mark Miller's Munchkin Programs has garnered extensive media coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC, WGN TV, CNN, and CLTV and has also been featured in USTA Magazine, Racquet Magazine, Small Business Opportunities, and Homebased Business Magazine. He continues to set new standards in youth sports education.
In a historic event in Chicago, Miller set a new record for "The World's Largest Tennis Lesson," gathering 400 kids with support from Wilson Sporting Goods and Nuveen. He aims to replicate this success in the World of Pickleball with the "World's Largest Pickleball Lesson" for Kids.
"Mark is truly a pied piper with great skills in working with young children and their parents. The key difference between his program and other programs for children the same age is the man himself. I am delighted with what he is doing to grow the game of Pickleball," said Alan Schwartz, President of the USTA.
