What we’re about
Looking for a fun, relaxed Pickleball group. Join us in the Upper Dublin and Upper/Lower Moreland areas of North Wales, Ambler, Maple Glen, Horsham and more! Free to play. No host. Join an already posted time or post a time and see if others can join. See you soon my fellow pickleball friends.
You are encouraged to bring water, a paddle, and a chair.
All levels are welcome. See event details for more level of play details specific to that event. Those attending are very welcoming, friendly, and encouraging.
Please keep in mind that the courts used for this MeetUp group are public and not reserved. Others from the public may attend. Signing up via this Meetup is not required nor a guarantee of court space.
General suggested guidelines are to let those who are waiting play next. Prioritize those who have just shown up and haven't played yet. If you have played two, be extra willing to let others play next, even if you have won both. Some courts have a winners stay on for two games policy. Some have paddle up systems where you can put your paddle in line so those waiting the longest play next. There may be no official host at these sessions. In the event of no host, some in attendance may step up to help guide who plays next and organize. Those who are reported as not being encouraging and cooperative may be removed from this Meetup group.
These events are free, but donations to cover the Meetup fees and additional pickleball equipement are appreciated. Suggested donation is $20/year. Donations are accepted by the group host Sarah Harkleroad in cash at an event. Venmo, paypal, etc. are available. Ask Sarah for details in person.
