frenz educational and training services

“Before we start, I just want to quickly explain how we do things at Frenz.

We use something called the Confidence Compass, which basically means this session is all about helping you feel comfortable first.

There’s no pressure here—no need to be perfect or get everything right straight away. Just take your time, have a go, and enjoy it.

We’ll support each other, have a few laughs, and focus on small improvements. That’s how confidence builds.”

Above isn’t just our opening words, it’s the key to the approach frenz take in delivering pickleball. With experience introducing the game to schools, both as PE lessons and as lunch and after-school clubs, frenz have developed a programme, the Confidence Compass, that we believe to be inclusive, fun and positively developmental:
We are offering a simple, structured pickleball programme that works particularly well as an after-school club and can also be adapted for PE delivery if required.

What we’re proposing

• A 1-hour introductory session (taster)

• Followed by an optional 6-week after-school club programme

The sessions are designed to be:

• Easy to follow and inclusive for all pupils

• Focused on confidence, participation and enjoyment

• Delivered in a structured but relaxed way

What pupils gain

• Increased confidence in physical activity

• Improved coordination and control

• Positive social interaction and teamwork

• A fun, engaging introduction to a new sport

Delivery

Sessions are led by Frenz team leaders, with a simple format:

• Warm-up (Compass Movers)

• Skill development

• Game-based activity

• Match play

Next step

We would be happy to arrange a short introductory session at a convenient time, with no obligation to continue.

If this is of interest, I’d be very happy to discuss what would work best for your pupils.
Of course, frenz can also train staff to deliver the programme too.
