About us

This is a a group for people who live and work In NY and the surrounding area, but who recognize we are in one of the greatest metropolitan areas in the world. It's for people who are creatures of the city, with all its diversity, possibilities, opportunities, and excitement. To be sure, we will make excursions into the city--and that includes Queens and Brooklyn as well as Manhattan...and let's not forget the Bronx and Staten Island as well. However, we will get together here on Long Island too, in the interest of promoting convenience and encouraging inclusion by people whose budgets may not allow them to take trips to the city as frequently as they'd like. The point of this group is as much to allow meeting, forming friendships, and having fellowship with others whose hearts belong in the city, as it is to take trips into the city for all that it offers.
Some of the event types we offer are :Museums, speed dating, bowling, pool, golf, bingo, shows, rock climbing, mingles and more. 
This group is not for pick-up or seduction techniques, or wingman tactics.

Warm regards,

Upcoming events

    Picture this: we've snagged not one, not two, but THREE courts just for our crew! How cool is that? 🏸 Two of these courts are reserved for those beginners who want instruction with our certified instuctor, and the other court is for those who already know how to play.

From beginners who've never held a paddle to seasoned players looking for a challenge, there's room for everyone on our courts.

    Oh, and don't sweat it if you don't have your own paddle – we've got plenty of "house paddles" to go around. Plus, we're all about fostering connections, both on and off the court. Want to keep in touch with someone you meet during the event? Just shoot us an email, and we'll make sure they know you're interested!

    So mark your calendars, spread the word, and get ready for an unforgettable day of pickleball fun! 🥒🏓 Sign up now if you're ready to dive into the exciting world of pickleball – we can't wait to see you there!
