I played tennis in a rec league a long time ago. It was not community but a substitute for light social interaction.
I guess similar things exist for Golf and pickleball.
I grew up in India and now live in the U.S.
Socializing or being a part of a community is surprisingly very very hard.
- RajT88 3y agoI know some Indians and Pakistani who play pickleball. I know rather more Indians who play cricket. I think you have to have critical mass to get a cricket team going though... Not everywhere has enough interest.
- senthil_rajasek 3y agoSocializing with "in groups" like Indians getting to know Indians is not what I was referring to in my original comment. I was talking about socializing outside of "in groups" which is what I found challenging.
- 3minus1 3y agoThe nice thing about pickleball is that it's often drop in play, so you can show up whenever is convenient for you and play with random people. This is indeed a light social interaction, but the people who regular eventually get to know each other. Where I live there is a strong pickleball community.
