Sports & Hobbies groups near Garner, NC

Welcome to Pride Sports Raleigh!

We are a sports group that is focused on the LGBTQ+ community. We offer year round sports to have fun and make friends!

Sports! Come a few minutes before sports if you want to eat or bring food to share. If enough people are coming we may challenge other teams or get leagues and tournaments going. If you won't be playing comment or message to let us know. For team sports without a net, bring a white shirt and a dark shirt and we will divide up based on age, skill level, and preferred team size.

The scenario: You are young, probably single without family obligations, and in a new city.  You don't know anyone local from school or growing up. The people at work, where you spend most of your days, are much older than you are. You are uncomfortable checking out new places by yourself. It dawns on you that making friends that you want to meet regularly is not easy. How do people make friends in the real world? It was so much easier in school!

There is a need for a YOUNG group of new college grads and young professionals, the 20 somethings who are in the same life stage. There are other "20s and 30s" groups but those seem to lean more towards the older end of the spectrum and don't properly serve the 20s demographic. If you've recently moved to the area, post-college or for work, and are missing your old friends or having trouble making new ones, this is the group for you! If you've ever wanted to go out and do something only to realize that you don't have other similar aged acquaintances you'd enjoy doing those things with, you found the purpose of this social club.

This is not meant to be a typical meetup group, with lame events, sporadic attendance, and awkward interactions. We started this group to create a network of young professionals in our area that can go do a variety of activities that can be casual and fit into busy schedules. We're looking for people who want to invest in their local community, enrich their social calendar, and get out and do stuff. If things go well, We  hope this will be the only meetup group you need to look at while living in Raleigh.

A few of things we hope to do monthly is happy hours, weekend bar crawls, weekend trips, pickup sports, hiking, boating, paintball, trivia nights, dinners, brunch, concerts, brewery tours, wine tastings, sporting events. You know, typical stuff that people our age like to do.

This is not a dating group, or a singles group, though hopefully some of you can find a special someone if you are looking. Please be mature, kind, open to meeting new people, have some education past high school, and be between the ages of 21 and 31. Invite your friends and lets prove that life after college doesn't have to suck!

This group is dedicated to the sport of Standup Paddle boarding from beginner to advanced. We will be paddling locally and exploring all the great outdoor locations that the Raleigh area has to offer.

Note: We are currently closed off for membership but selectively taking new members in order to maintain a level of safety on our rides.  As noted below, we are primarily sport bike and sport touring riders.  Please contact the group organizer and give some info about yourself, style of riding, experience level, and type of motorcycle you ride to determine if you are a good fit. Again, we keep our group in private status so that we can focus on safety and attract riders that will fit well into our group. We highly encourage newer sport riders to join as well.

What IS an "epic ride" ? Websters defines epic as " majestic, impressively great". That's what were striving for with this Meetup group. A chance to meet some wonderful new riders that you might have otherwise just waved at as you passed them on the road, but also to have some "epic" rides to various destinations. Whether it's a trip to VIR for a weekend race, an overnight mountain camping ride, a cruise through the country side down to the beach, or just a weeknight get together to tear up some backroads, we're in search of the epic ride.

We're geared more towards the mature sport bike and sport tourer rider and are proud to have members from various ethic and cultural backgrounds as well as orientations. The only thing we ask is that you be safety minded, mature, and have a sense of adventure. I am happy to say this is a wonderful group of individuals that I have shared some amazing rides with.

So stop posing at the local watering hole and get out there and RIDE ! We've got some great ideas for destination rides coming up, so come on in and join up !

My name is Jordi Zierz, I am an 18 year old aspiring mechanical engineer. I have spent 2 years studying at Wake Tech, and am planning to transfer to either NCSU or UNC Charlotte in the fall.

The purpose of this Meetup group is to get like-minded college age people together to socialize, share experience, and have fun together.

Potential events are board games, party games, hiking, sports or anything else that gathers enough interest. I'd also like to find people interested in designing and/or building some engineering related projects, both for professional development and for fun.

My name is COLE. Call sign BATMAN. I am NOT the real BATMAN but I will point out you have never seen him and me in the same room together? I hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate (Airplane Multi Engine Land) and have been flying off and on now for some 40 years. More recently (two years or so) I started flying RC airplanes (a LOT cheaper). Six months ago I started flying Mini Quads and I believe it is a sport here to stay and I felt it is missing a common thread and that is FELLOWSHIP so I started this MeetUp in hopes to connect ALL levels of Pilots for ALL types of RC flying in the Triangle Area - Raleigh, Durham & Fayetteville. Please join us and plan on Meeting fellow Pilots in the future. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  -COLE 252.689.7737

In our humble opinion, Formula 1 is the ultimate form of motorsport.  20 of the world's best drivers line up on the starting grid for each race, and when the lights go out, it's a roar like nothing you've ever heard.  F1 is a global phenomenon, so we can't attend every race (even attending one is a challenge), but we can watch race coverage on ESPN and still get the thrills of first-corner clashes, daredevil slipstream passes, engines on the limit, and lightning-fast pit stops.  Nothing really puts you on the edge of your seat like 20 cars flying down to the first turn all at once, and there's no better way to experience it than to share it with a crowd full of fans, all screaming in unison.

That's the idea behind the Triangle Formula 1 Meetup: we're just fans in the stands, only we know each other on a first-name basis, and we all have stories to share with one another.

Whether you've been following Formula 1 since you were a kid, or are new to the sport and just want to see what it's all about, please join us!  We'll be excited to meet you!
