CAN YOU RELATE?

Meeting people as an adult is weird.

  • You graduate

    The built-in friend group disappears.

  • Friends move away

    No more nights out, or a casual Thursday hang.

  • Careers come first

    Priorities shift, and work becomes the focus.

  • Life gets really busy

    Pets, weddings, kids, travel plans... the list goes on.

  • It's hard to stay in touch

    The group chat gets suspiciously quiet.

  • Digital takes over

    You're less connected, yet somehow always scrolling.

SO WE DESIGNED GAME DAYS TO...

Make it ridiculously easy (and fun) to meet people.

  • See the same faces every week.

    Real friendships need more than one conversation.

  • Rotate partners every game.

    Meet new people, always at your skill level! Fun matchups, with no awkward silences.

  • Built-in social events

    We create the space to continue the conversation naturally, off the courts.

  • A reason to get out

    Plans actually make it out of the group chat, bc we do the work for you.

Who we are

The people behind the pickles

A small team with a big dream... powered by an incredible network of local League Hosts.

Former athletes. Former never-touched-a-ball-ers. Teachers. Engineers. Parents. Corporate burnouts.

Different backgrounds. Same mission.

We all believe life is better when you have people to do it with.

Everyone belongs here.

We're proudly LGBTQ+ founded, proudly inclusive, and proud to welcome you to our silly little party 🤪

Silly Pickles

Our very first league

A few courts in Chicago started a movement. Strangers became besties.

The silly started to spread

Players invited friends, coworkers, roommates, and dates.

We're not slowing down

Today we're helping thousands of adults make friends through play.

Find your city
Pick your league
Meet, play, repeat

WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT ONE THING

Having fun 🤪

We have tons of beginners

Over 30% of our players are new to the sport! Most join to meet new people, making an inherently social rec sports even more fun.

Every league has its own personality

Expect friendly competition and a whole lot of silly stuff along the way. Every game day is designed to feel like the highlight of your week.
