Community member asks how to start pickleball club at local schools; district says clubs possible but not a sanctioned sport
During public comment, resident Spencer Apple asked how to bring pickleball to the local high school or middle school. Apple said he had spoken with a school contact about introducing pickleball.

Clark County School District Associate Superintendent Maurice Perkins responded that the district had previously hosted pickleball at a middle school in collaboration with the City of Mesquite but that pickleball is not a sanctioned sport under the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA). Perkins advised that if students show interest and there is a staff sponsor to supervise, the activity can be offered as a club rather than a district‑sanctioned sport: “If there's student interest and then they have a sponsor, someone that will supervise that club, then they can offer it as a club,” Perkins said.

The exchange was informational; no formal action was taken during the meeting.
