**Playing Sports Again (with friends!!)** is looking for people in their 30s-50s who want to build new friendships with others while participating in sports leagues (volleyball, kickball, softball, pickle ball, etc) and other recreational sports. Many of us played sports in the past but life got in the way and we miss it. This is a great group for those who would like to get back out there and play again! Although this group will be sports and activity focused, it is also a social group that may look to do some other things as well. We usually all get together after a game, share a drink and have a good laugh. We plan on trying hard and enjoying the activities we do, but this is not an ultra competitive group. If you are looking or that, I suggest you check out another Meetup!

Welcome to The Sporting Club at the Bellevue's Pickleball group! This is a private group for current and former members. The main purpose of this group is to give Sporting Club members a way to organize play at the club.  With so many available times to play throughout the week sometimes you just never know if anyone is playing.  I get it, and I think it’s a good “problem” to have.  Hopefully this Meetup group can help alleviate that and allow you all to communicate and see who’s playing.  Eventually we can find times to just allow Beginner play. Maybe even Advanced times too!   Some rules/etiquette/thoughts: -Court 1 is closest to entrance of hallway.  Court 2 is center court.  Court 3 is furthest away closer to the Golf Pavilion. -Whichever team is closest to the hallway serves first. -Games are to 11.  Would love to give incentive for winner’s to be able to stay on and play 2, then sit.  All new 4 then comes in. -No one should be playing more than 2 games in a row when others are waiting -That being said, if you just played a long competitive match, and 8 or 10+ people are waiting to play, instead of playing your 2nd match in a row because you won, do you sit and bring on a whole new 4?  Your call to make, but I think the “waiting” members would love that.  Remember you’re going to also be “waiting” at some point. -Please try to incorporate other members to switch up matches if possible. -Try and respectfully coincide with basketball members.  We’re all members of this great club and trying to utilize the courts as best as we can.  -We can’t make everyone happy, but I’d like to try. -Always know there are things you can be working on in your game, even if you end up “playing down” with lower skilled members.  Lower skilled members appreciate being able to play with higher skilled members because it helps them get better. -I’d like to get 2 permanent Beginner/Intermediate clinics on the schedule.  Only 1hr.  Members are loving it and more clinics! -Do we have interest in an Intermediate+/Advanced clinic?  It would mostly be focused on drilling, strategy, and advanced techniques.  I would name it "Drills and Skills". It has a nice ring to it! Let me know. -Dinking and Banging can both be exhilarating! -HAVE FUN!     That’s all I have for now. I’m open to your feedback and suggestions.  I appreciate you all for being here and playing this great sport we all love!   Sincerely, Arnold (your resident “do you need a 4th”) Director of Athletics PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor

The Philly Climbing Meetup group is an online resource to help you get out and climb with compatible people.

It mostly hosts indoor climbing events at gyms out of convenience - since organizing large scale outdoor events can be a tough undertaking.

That said, many of us have founds friends to climb with in whatever our preferred venue and style is, up to long-distance mountaineering trips.

The forums are a good place to look for climbing partners or plan your own events, if you don't see the sort of thing what you want to do on the calendar.

If you like to take initiative, we welcome you to suggest an event, or post one for yourself. We're working to expand the capabilities of all members on the Meetup. If you try to post and event and don't have enough rights to do it, ask an organizer to be granted an "event organizer" role. 

The Meetup is always looking for more organizers to help keep things fresh here.

Use common sense and don't be a jerk, and you're welcome here!

Also the legalese:

ALL MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

1. This is an online social network that periodically hosts events where members meet in person. This Meetup group is not a substitute for competent, professional climbing instruction from an American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) certified instructor. Organizers, Assistant Organizers, Members and Sponsors do NOT guarantee the competence of any individual in this group.

2. Rock climbing is an inherently dangerous sport. Any consequences as a result of a fall or accident are an accepted risk to the climber, belayer and all other parties involved. If you get hurt during an event posted on this website, it is entirely your responsibility. You are not permitted to blame anyone else. BY JOINING THIS GROUP YOU ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SAFETY, HEALTH, AND WELL-BEING WITH NO EXCEPTIONS.

IF YOU DO NOT WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THEN YOU ARE ALTOGETHER DISCOURAGED FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR JOINING THIS GROUP.

All that being said, this group is an excellent chance to try out an incredibly rewarding sport! This group encourages folks of all abilities to join and try new things. Beginners are welcome on most events, and if events are not beginner appropriate, the description will say so.

Have you ever read or watched something and wanted to discuss it, but no one seems interested? Or are moved by a movie or a book and want to share it - and your partner’s eyes are glazing over as you rave about it? Perhaps this group is for you. We will read/watch/listen to books, articles, movies, podcasts and talk about them. No topic is off-limits: social behavior, culture, politics, history, sports, technology, relationships…never-ending possibilities. Members can choose a book, podcast or movie that might warrant a good conversation. We’ll read before our meetup and come ready to chat. We’ll meet every six weeks or so in person, on evenings or weekends, in Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties. For now, I’m keeping this group private. And I’m also only confirming people who have a picture of themselves in their profile. Questions or suggestions? Send me a message! This is a work in progress!
