Between the candy hangover and the clocks falling back, it’s understandable if every instinct you have is saying the same thing right now: couch, blanket, cancel plans.
We get it. We’ve been there. But the past three winters at Rally have taught us something: bearing the cold months with a crew beats binge-watching Below Deck from the couch. Cold air plus warm company is a good reason to leave the house. (Cheesy, but true.)
As we head into the chilly season, we challenge you to keep showing up. Build a team, enter a tournament, make a toy for a lucky pup, or just stop by and let us make you a hot chocolate. Winter’s coming either way. You might as well be a polar bear about it. Here’s everything happening at Rally this November.
Introducing: The Rally Team Championship
We’re breaking in a brand-new tradition this month: our first-ever Rally Team Championship on Saturday, November 21.
If you’ve watched Major League Pickleball, you know the format: fast, loud, and just as fun to watch as it is to play. We’re bringing that energy to Rally. Eight teams of four players (two men, two women) split into two pools, with every player getting at least eight games. Every teammate also gets a Rally Team Championship tee.
Entries are capped at eight teams, so recruit your people, designate a captain, and register by November 10. And if you’re not playing, come anyway. Half the fun of MLP is the crowd, so bring your loudest voice for your friends.
Saturday, November 21 | 10 AM to 2 PM | $260 per team ($65 per player)
Earn Your Pie
The average American reportedly consumes around 3,000 calories at the Thanksgiving table each year. Let us help you achieve caloric neutrality this holiday season with the Turkey Round Robin on Sunday, November 22, gobbling for its fourth year.
It’s the format you already know: pool play into a single-elimination bracket, with at least four matches guaranteed per team. Sign up as a pair or solo, and pick the morning or afternoon session. Together with the Team Championship the day before, that’s a full tournament weekend with plenty of reasons to earn that Thanksgiving dessert.
Sunday, November 22 | 10 AM to 12 PM or 12:30 to 2:30 PM | $40 per person
The Polar Bears Are Coming
Every winter since we opened, a crew of outdoor-loving, cold-tolerant, hot-chocolate-fueled regulars has found each other through the Polar Bear Club. Each year the community grows, and it’s become one of our favorite parts of winter at Rally.
Here’s what the winter membership gets you:
Unlimited outdoor court reservations
Two Rally Social passes per month
Members-only socials
Unlimited hot chocolate
Complimentary hand koozies for your paddle hand (if you don’t know what these are yet, we’re excited to initiate you)
Our outdoor courts are equipped with patio heaters, overhead lights for night play, and twinkly lights to set the winter mood. And did we mention the hand koozies?
Membership runs December through February at $100 per month, or lock in the all-winter pass for $270 before November 30.
Hot Girls Hangout: Dogs & Donations
Only two more Hot Girls Hangouts before the year wraps up. This month’s Hot Girls Hangout on Wednesday, November 11 is a DIY dog toy-making night with our friends at One Lucky Pup. You’ll make one toy for your own pup and one to donate to a local dog daycare, so you get to be both a good friend and a good human in one evening. Furry friends welcome.
Wednesday, November 11 | 7 to 8:30 PM
Rally Rascals: Winter Camp
Winter break is long, and the kids need somewhere to burn off all that energy. Rally Rascals is back for a winter edition, and this time the whole camp happens indoors, where it’s warm, bright, and ready for them.
Campers get coaching from our pros, games that keep them moving, and plenty of new friends. Beginners are welcome, and future champions are encouraged. Sign ups are live now, so save your camper’s spot.
Monday, December 28 to Thursday, December 31 | 9 AM to 1 PM
The Rest of November at Rally
Beyond the signature events, the courts stay busy all month. Courts & Coffee, Rally Social, Rookies Social, and more run every week. See everything happening at Rally this November and keep showing up.
