3rd Annual Pride Pickleball 🏳️🌈 Pride, Pickleball and Good Vibes!
🌈 Pride Pickleball update! 🌧️
Unfortunately, the weather isn’t playing nicely, so tomorrow’s Real Big Dills Pride Pickleball event is cancelled due to the expected rain.
But Pride must go on! 🌈 We’re switching gears and hosting brunch at Hometown Sports Grill (1525 Bank St.) starting at 10 AM. The reservation is under Sonja. 🥞☕
Please note that everyone will be responsible for the cost of their own food and drinks.
We’d love to see you there! If you can’t make brunch, keep your eyes peeled for the next Real Big Dills Pickleball Open House — we’ll be back on the courts soon!

Get ready for the third round of Pride Pickleball, hosted by the fabulous Real Big Dills (RBDs)!
We’ve got two courts booked, a pile of extra paddles, and zero pressure — this is a low-key, friendly, and social morning where you can play, cheer, or just soak up the Pride vibes.
Come dressed in your most outrageous rainbow gear and bring a snack to share.
This is an informal friends and family hangout - not an official Pride event.
Please register here — it really helps us plan (and make sure no one gets stuck in a paddle shortage).
Drop by anytime between 9:45 AM – 12:30 PM, meet new people, and celebrate Pride your way. Whether you play every week or have never touched a paddle, you belong here. No experience? No problem. We’ll have extra paddles, balls, and friendly faces to get you started.
