Why: Cost of site, sports equipment, advertising...

Three months ago MDA was the 18th largest group on meetup within a hundred miles; today, after just six months, it is the 7th largest, and by far the newest. How did that happen? Part of the reason is the shear number and variety of events we have planned every week, but the real reason is due to the high caliber of the members themselves. Maybe it’s because MDA is the only general purpose sports meetup in the region, but I couldn’t be happier with the people who have been joining and attending events.

In our recent history, we’ve enjoyed ice skating, go-karts, laser tag, bocce ball, wallyball, whirlyball, inline skating, skydiving, indoor volleyball, kickball, softball, parkour, a dodge ball tournament, poker tournaments, skiing and snowboarding, bowling, huge Meet ‘n Greet Parties, curling, playing soccer in a dome, self-defense, and more. And that was just MDA getting warmed up.

This summer will be filled with sand volleyball, tennis, ultimate, road and mountain biking, soccer, and even hang gliding. And, as always, if you’re interested in a sport that you don’t see coming up, I’d be happy to post an event on your behalf.

I look forward to meeting you at our next event!

Want to attend?

For those of us who will be around, I want to indulge in one of my more favorite sports. This is a great little field- it's actually set up as a hockey rink, but works great for soccer. If it is being used, there are regular soccer fields we can play on. The game will be for people of all ability levels; they are very fun and friendly. We do keep score but are non-obsessive about it. Read more
