Fun and Laughter

Calling all adults to come out and play! Let's enjoy it as a group! ["Let's Play America"](https://letsplayamerica.org/) is a non-profit based in Takoma Park that promotes play and playful activities for both kids AND adults. This is their annual free "Adult Play Day" with lawn games, board games, team trivia, the live Takoma Park band, food truck, drinks, and much more, including me leading a little Laughter Yoga :) Let's meet up and enjoy the festivities together! The event runs from 4-7 and I plan to be there from 4-6. Please share your cell number with your RSVP so we can find each other and plan when/where to meet. Hope to see you there!

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/washington-dc/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott

Note: If weather is heavily inclement or unsafe (torrential downpour, storms, etc.), the event will be rescheduled.

Let's get together to play some competitive quads and doubles volleyball. **COST**: FREE **Court Type**: Outdoor grass **Minimum Skill Requirements**: Intermediate (click [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PojSi4qdlRsv1msCHhvpQ43iDc4FfzQwpWCc3kafVMY/mobilebasic) for details) Attention: 1. This event is **NOT on a first come-first serve** basis and players with higher skill level and players who can bring a net/ball will get priority over others on the wait list. 2. Since skill levels are **self-reported**, some new attendees may not meet the expected level. For doubles, we encourage you to choose a partner you can enjoy the game with, and since this a competitive event, it is okay if you make a strong team and win all the games. 3. Each person must help set up and take down one net, leaving some nets unset for latecomers. 4. Please answer all questions, so it's helpful for us to organize the event. **Smiley Social documents:** 1.
