How to Host:
Foster community engagement: Hosting a pickleball event creates a natural, easygoing way for residents to connect, which strengthens community bonds and increases resident satisfaction and retention.
Provide necessary equipment: Supply paddles, balls, and a few quick "how-to" instructions for beginners. Offering easy access to gear removes barriers to participation.
Create a casual, inclusive atmosphere: Emphasize fun over competition. Arrange simple prizes, music, and refreshments to keep the energy lively and welcoming.
Promote widely: Use flyers, community apps, emails, and lobby signs to spread the word. Highlight the "no experience needed" vibe to encourage more residents to join.
Three Event Options to Choose From:
Pickleball Games (Served Daily):
Host casual, drop-in pickleball matches over several days, allowing flexible participation.
Set up daily game times (e.g., 5–7 PM) and encourage residents to stop by, play a match or two, and meet new faces.
Keep the setup simple with a daily "leaderboard" just for fun, and offer light snacks or lemonade courtside.
Pops & Pickleball:
Enjoy a relaxed afternoon where residents of all ages can play quick pickleball matches and cool off with a variety of popsicles.
Set up shaded seating, a popsicle cart or freezer, and invite everyone.
Offer short "learn to play" sessions with a fun, informal tone to make it easy for newcomers.
Dink & Drink (Cocktails and Mocktails Edition):
An evening social featuring light pickleball play alongside a festive cocktail/mocktail bar.
Hire a local bartender or set up a DIY drink station with pickleball-themed drinks (like a "Pickle Punch").
Incorporate light music, twinkly lights, and cozy seating to create an upbeat but relaxed atmosphere.
Why It's Important:
These pickleball events are important because they create fun, low-pressure opportunities for residents to build friendships, foster a sense of belonging, and stay active within their community. By offering casual, inclusive gatherings, the apartment community strengthens resident satisfaction, encourages engagement, and enhances overall retention.
