How the Event Works
The event will be organized by age group, with participants playing 6-7 rounds of pickleball against different people. After each round, players will have the opportunity to indicate who they feel a connection with. At the end of the event, the club will match up people who expressed mutual interest and share contact information.
“We wanted to combine pickleball’s social nature with the idea of meeting new people, especially on Valentine’s Day,” said Rob, organizer at Tyler Athletic & Swim Club. “It started as a fun idea, and we ended up getting a lot of interest.”
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a fast-growing sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. It’s played on a smaller court with a paddle and a whiffle ball. Lowe explained that the game is easy to learn, making it a great fit for beginners looking for fun ways to socialize.
Registration Details
Interested singles can sign up through the Tyler Athletic & Swim Club’s website. The cost to participate is $15, which includes the pickleball rounds and a social hour after the event to relax and mingle. Attendees can enjoy beverages and continue the conversation in a more casual setting.
Why It Matters
The event is not just about finding love but also about introducing new people to pickleball, a sport that is rapidly growing in popularity. It’s also an opportunity for singles to meet like-minded individuals in a fun, engaging environment.
Rob hopes this will be the first of many similar events in the future, as the club looks to combine sports and social activities in innovative ways.
