What we’re about
Welcome to PicklePals North East – where total beginners and true newbies meet to wobble, whiff, and wildly enjoy one of the fastest-growing (and most addictively social) sports around… Pickleball! 🏓 🏃♂️🥒
Whether you've never held a paddle before or you've just started dabbling in dinks and drops, this group is for YOU. We’re planning on building a super-friendly, inclusive Sunday Pickleball group for anyone living in or near North East London—think Hackney, Walthamstow, Stratford, Leyton, Enfield, etc.
🟢 What we’re about:
- Absolute beginner-friendly Pickleball games
- Learning the rules without the pressure
- Group sessions at local venues (indoor & outdoor, as available)
- Laughter over rallies, not rivalry 🎉
- Optional post-game socialising (grab a coffee, pint, or bite after)
- Building confidence on court—no experience needed (the group lead barely knows how to swing a paddle at this point)
🕹️ Who should join?
- You’ve heard of Pickleball and want to try it out
- You want a chilled way to get moving & meet new people
- You're new to the sport and don’t want to play with pros
- You’re up for fun and a bit of friendly chaos on the court
🎾 What to expect:
We’ll start with informal meetups in accessible local sports areas (both indoor and outdoor), where we rotate partners, play super short rallies, and focus on having fun, not serving aces. Sessions will often include a quick “How to Pickleball 101”, plenty of breaks, and lots of encouragement. Please bring your own paddles!
👾 Quirky vibes. Zero judgment. 100% Pickleball Newbie Power.
Join us and let’s get into a good kind of pickle together 😄
