Pickleball Discussions in San Francisco, California

We'd like to give a warm welcome and thank you to The Third Shot Pickleball Apparel for supporting the Global Pickleball Network.

The Third Shot is a U.S.-based pickleball apparel company created by players who were tired of the same old clip-art tees and uninspired designs. Every shirt we make is designed, printed, and shipped in the U.S.A., using premium fabrics that look and feel as good off the court as they perform on it.

Hi, interested in a pickup game to learn more about the sport. I played once a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. Former 3.5-4.0 USTA tennis player looking for a new sport and some practice. Cedar/Rose courts in Berkeley are closest to my house. Mostly interested in doubles but will consider singles.
Thanks

Looking for recommendation/advice: I took a short beginner pickleball lesson series (piedmont rec), and now am looking for a place to practice with other beginners in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Apologies if this is listed somewhere on this forum - I can’t seem to find it though. Many thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for a hitting partner in Oakland but will consider meeting up anwywhere in the Bay Area. I'm new to the game, but I'm decent because I used to play tennis. Just looking to have fun and improve my game.
