AfroServe Sunday Social: Pickleball Edition!
Details
Thank you all so much for your patience, fam. As we enter the final month of the year and prepare for a powerful 2026, we’re excited to bring something fresh to our lineup.
Welcome to AfroServe & Aces - "a 3rd space for Afro-Diasporans where community, culture and courts meet"
Our official 3-hour AfroServe Sunday Socials are BACK! 🎉
And for the first time ever, we’re adding a brand-new twist to close out the year and to make up for last week's Sunday's postponement…
This will be our first Pickleball Edition of the AfroServe Sunday Social! 🏓✨
We can’t wait to reset, reconnect, and step into the new year with movement, joy, and community. More details are on the way - but get ready, because this one is special.
AfroServe is heading back to Pickle Mania, an amazing Black-owned pickleball space that continues to pour into our community - and this weekend, they’re also spotlighting something meaningful:
✨ Self-Care & Domestic Violence Awareness ✨
While Sunday will feature their official FREE Self-Care Sunday Open Play, with awareness, advocacy, snacks, hydration, and safe-space vibes, this is our AfroServe pull-up night - and it’s FREE for all-day open play!
Come through for good vibes, movement, and community connection.
Bring your friends, your cousins, or just yourself - you WILL meet people. 💜
