Food and drink are not provided within the venue, but you are allowed to bring in anything you need from outside locations, just please be considerate of other people's games and the tables when doing so.

I am going to end the Monday night game in Manassas and start this new series on Wednesday's in Fairfax. Picking Santini's as the place to play as I like their food better. We play almost exclusively double deck pinochle. All levels of play are welcome from beginner to expert. We will teach and coach new players.

***Feel free to come earlier to ensure we have enough courts!*** **Remember to bring a can of new or lightly used tennis balls.** **NOTE: Those who have RSVP'd AND who arrive no later than 30 minutes after the start will be prioritized to play. This includes members who are wait-listed.** **Rest assured that you will be rotated in if you arrive 30 minutes or more *after* the event begins. However, it feels unreasonable to expect to be prioritized *whenever you arrive, especially when games are already in play.*** By signing up to this Meetup event, you agree *To practice effective social distancing and hold yourself 100% responsible for protecting yourself against exposure to Covid-19 and any other cooties. - To not hold anyone (including Meetup.com) liable should you be exposed to Covid-19 by attending this event. *To decline attending if you suspect you have any of the Covid-19-related symptoms (we can wait until you're better to show your tennis prowess). Please bring a can of NEW tennis balls. As usual, this meetup is cancelled if the weather doesn't permit us to play If you see others waiting to use the courts, please limit your play to one short set (best of 5 games), where the losing team rotates out. Thanks in advance!!

Join us every Wednesday for a lively evening of Mahjong, popcorn, prosecco, and great company in a beautifully curated space. This meet up is designed for Mahjong lovers who want to play at all levels, socialize, and enjoy a fun midweek outing with others who already know the game. Various playing levels are welcome, but this is not a beginner lesson. Pull up a chair, mix and mingle between rounds, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere centered around tiles, conversation, and community. Whether you come with friends or arrive solo, you’ll find a welcoming table waiting for you. Be sure to bring your 2026 NMJL card.

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/leesburg-va/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you!
