Social Games
What are social games?
Whether you’re a player that’s been training for a while and are keen to improve your skills in game situations, or you’re a seasoned player that wants to spend some time on the court- social games are for you! Social games are when courts are made available for pick-up games and are a great way to meet new friends and teammates.
