Net-Working: Speed Friending on the Pickleball Court

Pickleball is sweeping the nation, but finding a partner to play with isn’t always easy. That’s where our ‘Net-Working’ event comes in! This event is all about meeting new people, having fun, and rallying on the court. We’ll pair you with others based on a short survey you’ll complete at checkout, matching you with players at your skill level and with similar interests. The hope? You’ll leave with not just a great game but also new connections that last beyond the event.

What to Expect:

• Meet 7 other LA locals during 10-minute pickleball games.
• Enjoy friendly matches tailored to your preferences and play style.
• Have a great time connecting over a sport that’s easy to pick up and fun to play.

Schedule:

• 7:30 PM: Check-in with your hosts.
• 8:00 PM - 9:15 PM: Let the matches begin! Play, mingle, and make new friends on the court.

What You Need to Bring:

• Yourself: We’ve put in the effort to find the perfect partners for you, so please let us know if you can’t attend to ensure we can find a replacement.
• A Paddle: Don’t have one? Borrow or rent one ahead of time.
• Basic Pickleball Knowledge: Courtside time is limited, so come with a basic understanding of the game. If you’re a newbie, don’t worry—pickleball is easy to learn and tons of fun!

Get ready to rally, connect, and have a blast with your new pickleball pals!
