Saturday 1:30pm (1hr for 4-6 people)

Two things make us unique from normal pickleball- we are social and recreational (we do not take the sport that seriously). I have played and ran Pickleball for 8 years and I have found 2 types of players:

1st type- is 'best practices' players who go to the net (all 4 players are near each other- volleying back and forth); that is the 'best' way to play, for sure if your goal is to win.

2nd type- of player (like myself) likes 'baseline' play or doing 'whatever comes to mind' getting the ball back (we just play, we are not using 'best practices' meaning we are not pushing up close to the net every play- every point... we just play).

This 2nd type of play- is great for brand new players and for people who are more social and recreational and cannot take Pickleball that serious.

We anticipate that new players who join this group, 40% of you will 'stay' with us and 60% will find their way over to more normal or serious pickleball group. We might be your introduction to the sport. We might be your group long term.

We will be playing on Saturdays at 1:30pm (any event we run- will be shown on this Meetup). After we play, we may or may not get a bite to eat or a drink (optionally) at the Irish bar- 1 block away.

If you have NEVER played, text me (Mikal Duilio 503-380-4539) so I can send you some informational (videos) so you have a bit of an understanding of the game... and if you need to borrow equipment, no problem, let me know and I will loan you something.

About paying- you can pay here, but after you get to know me in person, please pay me directly (I will text you '7 different payment options' such as Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Apple Pay, Chime, CashApp, even credit card. Thanks, Mikal Duilio (503-380-4539)
