English with Pickleball

Practise your English while enjoying your hobby. Whether you are a seasoned racquet ball player or new to racquet sports, pickleball is a relatively easy sport to pickup quickly. It is low impact and safe for all ages of players.

During the course you will enjoy a daily English class (either in a small group or 1-to-1) and a pickleball session with one of our English teachers.

The English classes take place at our school in central Edinburgh and the pickleball sessions at a different sports venue in the city.

Kursprofil: Group

The first part of the day will take place in the school. You will take part in a general English speaking and listening group class which focuses on communication fluency.

Reflecting real world and workplace multi-level communication scenarios, learn how to communicate effectively across differing levels of English and cultures.

If you prefer a 1-to-1 class to focus on specific English for work, that is possible instead of the morning group class.

After a coffee break we will leave the school and go together to the sports venue. There will be 4 days of pickleball sessions and 1 rest day per week.

Please note this is a multi-level English course for B1 to C1 participants.


What to expect on the English course:

  • Practise your conversation and small talk skills
  • Discuss general, everyday topics within a small group (maximum 5) adults
  • Fine tune your listening skills
  • Receive corrective feedback to help improve your fluency and accuracy

What to expect during the Pickleball sessions:

  • Learn the rules of pickleball with a pickleball instructor
  • Enjoy playing pickleball in an English speaking environment
  • Keep active in English
  • After the pickleball sessions, enjoy lunch with your pickleball instructor and other players
