A varsity letter in pickleball? Montgomery County high schools adopt booming sport

High school students in Montgomery County will have a new sport option this fall: pickleball. Montgomery County Public Schools will be adding pickleball as a varsity sport to 25 high schools following a successful pilot program. The program was offered in 11 high schools last fall, and its success led Dr. Jeffrey Sullivan, the director of system wide athletics for MCPS, to expand the program for the upcoming school year.
