Not into pickleball? Come anyway! Enjoy the social atmosphere, meet other singles, grab a drink from the bar, play lawn games, and mingle throughout the evening.
💘 How It Works:
Players will be split into 2 playing groups, which compete in 6 short 7-minute doubles matches designed to help you meet as many people as possible.
- Men rotate to the next numbered court after every round.
- Women stay on their assigned court.
- Every round brings in new teammates.
While one group is on the courts, the other group can relax in the lounge, grab a drink, play cornhole or other lawn games, and meet fellow singles. Then the groups switch.
Once everyone has completed their rounds, we'll open ALL 16 indoor courts for free play (primarily for our player ticket holders) and continue the social mixer until the end of the event. Stick around to play more pickleball, exchange numbers, or just enjoy the atmosphere.
