Instead of our usual pure social format, we're bringing you a Pickleball Social Night – combining sport with socializing for a fun, active and healthy evening

Indulge in more than just pickleball – enjoy games, movement, great vibes and meeting new people at the purpose built, stylish Sansan Pickleball Center (https://sansan-pickleball.com) in Ikebukuro

Whether you're an experienced player or trying pickleball for the first time, it's a fun, healthy way to stay active and connect with new people in a friendly social setting.

✨ Highlights:

Brand New Purpose Built Venue

Experience Tokyo's first large scale dedicated pickleball center

With 3 stylish indoor courts and 4 rooftop courts, Sansan Pickleball Center has been purpose built exclusively for pickleball, making it Japan's premier dedicated pickleball venue and the perfect place to discover one of the world's fastest growing sports

Pickleball Social Night

Enjoy an evening of social pickleball, great conversations, and meeting new people in a fun, welcoming atmosphere

Play, take breaks to mingle and enjoy the perfect balance of sport and socializing. It's all about fun, friendship, new connections and the simple joy of picking up one of the world's fastest growing sports

Pickleball has taken the world by storm, growing rapidly across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Oceania and beyond. Millions of people have been drawn to its fun, social and easy to learn format

With Japan’s pickleball scene now beginning to gather momentum, there has never been a better time to pick up a paddle and discover why so many people have fallen in love with the sport

Whether you've played before or are trying pickleball for the very first time, you'll be able to jump right in. All games are played in doubles, with rotating partners and courts, giving you plenty of court time while meeting lots of different people throughout the evening

We'll have two groups on the night - one for beginners and first time players, and another for players with some previous experience who are looking to build confidence and improve their game

The format keeps things moving smoothly, so you'll spend more time playing and less time waiting
