A new and unique physical education course has quickly won the hearts of students at Trưng Vương University since its introduction.
Trưng Vương University (TV-UNI) recently incorporated Pickleball—a sport that blends tennis, table tennis, and badminton—into its physical education curriculum for the second semester of the 2024–2025 academic year. The course has rapidly attracted a large number of student participants and received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Pickleball – A New Craze Among University Students
Known as the fastest-growing sport in North America in recent years, Pickleball officially made its debut at Trưng Vương University in March 2025. With a court smaller than that of tennis, solid paddles, and a perforated plastic ball, Pickleball is a perfect fusion of several familiar sports—easy to learn yet engaging and full of challenges.
Hoàng Dàu Hồng, a Business Administration student, shared:
“I’ve tried many sports before, but Pickleball is truly a special experience. It doesn’t demand as much physical endurance as tennis, but it’s just as exciting and intense. After just a few sessions, I could play quite well—and now I’m hooked.”
Holistic Benefits for Students
Mr. Trần Chí Công, a Pickleball instructor at TV-UNI, stated:
“We always aim to provide students with fresh and beneficial experiences through physical education. Pickleball is the perfect choice—it not only builds physical fitness but also develops quick reflexes, strategic thinking, and teamwork.”
According to experts, Pickleball offers a wide range of health benefits, including:
-
Improved cardiovascular endurance
-
Enhanced agility and reflexes
-
Better hand-eye coordination
-
Increased muscle strength
-
Reduced stress and stronger team spirit
Importantly, the sport is suitable for everyone, regardless of gender or fitness level, making it easily accessible and enjoyable for all students.
Modern Facilities to Support Instruction
To meet the growing demand, Trưng Vương University has invested in a modern indoor sports facility featuring a standard Pickleball court and a high-quality lighting system, allowing students to train even in the evening.
Nguyễn Huy Oanh, Rector of Trưng Vương University, emphasized:
“We always prioritize the physical and mental well-being of our students. The investment in modern Pickleball facilities demonstrates our commitment to providing a well-rounded learning environment—not only academically, but also physically.”
By incorporating Pickleball into its physical education program, Trưng Vương University once again affirms its pioneering role in innovating and enhancing the comprehensive education quality for its students. The enthusiastic student response to this new course is a testament to the university’s successful physical education development strategy.
