Following our visit to USA earlier this month Jason has been accepted as the first UK athlete onto the high performance program to train as a pro at the APP academy (The Fort) in Florida from this September. This is a huge privilege as he will be training amongst some of the world's top players under Ken Herrmann. Jason is also currently the top DUPR ranked player in the UK under 19 years!

As Jason is 16 he will have also have to attend a private international academic school as well as pay for the pickleball training and tournaments with the next Gen. With all the significant costs he is hoping that you may help in a small way - just the academy is 30k a year! You will shortly see the campaign on the UK pickleball social media. If you would like contribute please click the link below, and once you enter the donation amount we suggest you slide the 'tip go fund me' bar to zero (as this is an extra amount that go fund take for themselves over and above what you donate).
