Singles Dink & Mingle 40 & 50s: Valentine’s Special

Let's be honest: most mixers are painful. You stand around nursing a drink, making the same conversation about what you do for work, wondering when it's socially acceptable to leave.

This isn't that.

Dink & Mingle is a social pickleball event for adults who'd rather connect over a game than force conversation over a cheese plate. We use DiNKR's matching technology to pair you with compatible players based on skill level and interests—so you spend less time wandering and more time actually enjoying yourself.

🎾Smart pairings. We match you with people who make sense—not random court assignments. Think of it as curated, not chaotic.

🧊 Low-pressure icebreakers. Nothing lame, we promise. Just enough structure to get conversations started naturally.

🏆 Prizes and giveaways. Sponsored by Acaciasports.com and Slapp Life paddles.  Win some quality gear just for showing up and playing.

🍹 $3 drink specials. Courtesy of Pickleball Charlotte. Because good games deserve good drinks.

🎮 Sponsored games by Deal & Dink.  A little friendly competition never hurt anyone.

🚹 On-site host. Someone's got your back. Our host keeps things running smoothly so you can focus on the fun.

🏅 PPA pro tips. Want to tighten up your game? Get pointers from a pro who actually knows what they're doing.

You're in your 40s or 50s. You know how to play pickleball (this isn't a clinic). You're single and open to meeting new people—whether that's a doubles partner, a new friend group, or something more. You'd rather do something active than sit through another awkward happy hour.

Maybe you're getting back into the dating scene after a while. Maybe you just relocated and your social calendar is looking sparse. Maybe you're tired of the apps and want to meet people the old-fashioned way—by actually doing something together.

Whatever brought you here, you're in good company.
