EBA supports the development of inclusive sport

05/ 02/ 2026

On 30 January, as part of the ESG Hub of the European Business Association and the Working Group on Veteran Practices and Policies, a pickleball masterclass was held in cooperation with the All-Ukrainian Pickleball Federation. The event brought the community together around the idea of developing inclusive sport and creating new opportunities for physical and social rehabilitation. During the masterclass, participants had the opportunity not only to learn more about pickleball as a modern and accessible sport, but also to try their hand on the court under the guidance of the founders of the All-Ukrainian Pickleball Federation and the Federation’s certified coaches. Among the participants were veterans who currently represent Ukraine on the international stage, including at the English Open tournament. They emphasised that pickleball is a dynamic sport that helps maintain physical fitness, improve reaction time, and rediscover the excitement of the game. The European Business Association expresses its sincere gratitude to the representatives of the All-Ukrainian Pickleball Federation and all participants for their proactive stance in promoting inclusive sport in Ukraine and worldwide. We look forward to seeing you at the Association’s upcoming events!
