Malaysia Introduces Pickleball in Schools to Reduce Screen Time

Malaysia has started a new program to teach pickleball to kids in primary schools.

This is to help them spend less time on screens and be more active.

Every student can play pickleball for free on weekdays, and they have special courts and coaches to help them.

The program started in Kuala Lumpur with support from the government and private partners.

It's one of the biggest efforts in Asia to get kids playing pickleball.
