Why going alone is easier than it sounds
- Nobody is waiting on you. You can talk to whoever you like, for as long as you like.
- You’re more approachable. People find it easier to say hello to one person than to a group.
- Everyone is in the same boat. A room of people who also came alone is a friendly room.
Before you go
- Aim to arrive just after doors open, when everyone is new and looking for someone to talk to
- Have one easy opener ready: “Is this your first one too?” works every time
- Give it until your second game before you decide how it’s going
At our events
Our afternoons are built for solo guests. A host meets you at check-in and introduces you to people in your group. Every game is mixed doubles with a new partner, so you’re meeting people from the first rally, and there are question cards courtside if you need a conversation starter.
See the whole afternoon from a solo guest’s point of view on our coming solo page, and read how to handle nerves.
