FIND YOUR JIM 🧡🏓

The best part of pickleball isn’t always the game you played, the point you won or the rating next to your name.

Sometimes, it’s the person who invited you into a game when you knew nobody. The one who introduced you to their crew. Who kept calling you back onto court. Who made you feel like you belonged.

For us, that person was Jim.

And we have a feeling there are plenty of “Jims” in the RAYA community too. 🥹

So we want to hear about yours.

👇 Tag your “Jim” in the comments and tell us what makes them so great.

🚨 We’ll choose a few people from your nominations to receive a FREE Day Pass to one of our Unlimited Drop-In Play events - because the people who make pickleball better deserve a little love too 🫶

You might come for the pickleball.

But you come back for the people you find there.

Go tag your Jim 👇
