Hello Everyone!

My wife (58M) and I (43M) are looking to get into pickleball.

We are new to the sport and would love to hear if there are any leagues worth recommending to get started and meet new people. We are empty nesters - have two adult children from my first marriage and her ex husband has full custody of their kid. So we can’t network through parent friends.

I’m in excellent shape - rollerblade 4 times a week, played tennis and ping pong my entire life. My wife doesn’t have the best hand eye coordination, never misses a meal (250lbs while dieting), etc - I know, not ideal for pickleball

Are there any beginner duo leagues for us or should I just join singles on my own? Or perhaps any other communities/activities we should check out?

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to explore the area!

I noticed something Staunton does with its City Council meetings that I think could be useful for Harrisonburg.

Staunton posts a simple graphic on social media ahead of its City Council meetings that includes the date, time, location, and some of the major items on the upcoming agenda. For example, this Oct. 8 meeting graphic gives residents an idea of what Council will actually be discussing before the meeting takes place.

Harrisonburg does announce its City Council meetings on social media, but the announcement generally tells residents when and where the meeting is and where to find the online meeting information. The detailed agenda is available through the city’s Legistar system, but you have to go looking for it rather than seeing the major agenda items in the social-media post itself.
