The Idea

Third Shot Social isn’t just a league — it’s a vibe. We're a new kind of pickleball community built for people who want to play, laugh, connect, and make the most of Chicago. Whether you're a seasoned dinker or just figuring out how to hold the paddle, you're welcome here.

We kicked things off this summer in Chicago, with weekly games followed by fun, drinks, music, and great company. But this goes way beyond the court. Think: Fall patios, beach hangs, street festivals, pickup games in the park, rooftop socials, and yes even a little casual dating if that’s your thing.

Third Shot Social is about connection, good people through sport, conversation, and shared experiences. We're building a community that plays hard and lives fully, one third shot at a time.

New leagues starting Sept 14th and coming soon to a city near you.
