[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Local friends, it’s a real PITA trying to set up a time when both are free. Might get better when kids go to college. Been doing some activity based meetups but that’s not much more of a friendship than chatting to other dads at my kids games.[/quote] I dream of pickleball when I have free evenings or weekends in a decade. [/quote] Not sure of your age and your kids' ages but I'm 46 and so is my husband, our kids are tweens - we all play pickleball together with other families so some games are competitive with all adults, some are fun with a mix of adults and kids, and sometimes whole families play together. We have three families who participate in full, one where the dad and daughter play but the mom doesn't do to a current injury, and another one where the mom is also injured and the kids are younger so only the dad plays. Not everyone comes every day, so it's a mix of whoever is available. It'll be harder during the school year once sports pick up again (they start next week), but basically it's a standing game every night and whoever can come shows up. Maybe if you reached out to a bunch of people you could start something like that and attend when you can? I guess it helps that my husband and I are big proponents in helping each other do activities, so even if I wasn't going I would support him going. [/quote]
