Because love comes and goes, but your doubles partner is forever.

Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating your girls, and if your group chat revolves around pickleball, this one’s for you. 💖🏓

From early-morning open play to late-night tournament recaps, there are some things only pickleball girls truly understand. If you know, you know.

“Just One More Game” Is Never Just One More Game

You showed up for an hour.
Suddenly, it’s three hours later, you’re starving, and someone says, “Winner stays?”

Classic.

Pickleball girls don’t watch the clock; you chase good games, good vibes, and that one rematch you definitely should’ve won.

Your Pickleball Bag Is Basically a Survival Kit

Regular people: water bottle.
Pickleball girls:

  • Extra grips (plural)
  • Sunscreen
  • Electrolytes
  • Snacks “just in case”
  • Backup paddle (because… obviously)

And yes, it’s all perfectly organized. Mostly.

You Know Exactly Who to Call for a Last-Minute Tournament

Need a partner for a pickleball tournament this weekend?
You already know that friend, the one who says yes before you even finish the sentence.

Because Galentine’s Day is cute, but tournament day with your pickleball bestie hits different.

Cute Outfits Matter (And So Do DUPR Ratings)

You can love fashion and competition.

Pickleball girls understand:

  • The fit has to be cute
  • The paddle has to feel right
  • And the pickleball rating? Yeah… that matters too

Tracking your progress, watching your DUPR rating climb, and knowing where you stack up keeps the game fun and a little spicy.

Kitchen Talk Is Basically Group Therapy

Some people bond over brunch.
Pickleball girls bond in the kitchen line.

Between points you’ll hear:

  • Life updates
  • Tournament plans
  • Paddle debates
  • “Did you see that speed-up?!”

It’s community, competition, and connection, all in one rally.

You’ve Celebrated Wins and Losses Together

Big wins feel better when your girls are there.
Tough losses sting less when someone says, “Shake it off we’ll get ‘em next time.”

Whether it’s rec play or a high-stakes pickleball tournament, your pickleball crew sees it all and sticks around anyway.

That’s real Galentine’s energy.

Pickleball Is Your Love Language

Quality time? On the court.
Words of affirmation? “Great hands.”
Acts of service? Saving a ball for your partner.

If that makes sense to you… congrats. You’re officially a pickleball girl!

Celebrate Galentine’s Day the Pickleball Way 💕

This Galentine’s Day, grab your girls, book some court time, and maybe even sign up for a pickleball tournament together.

Track your progress, build your pickleball rankings, and keep making memories on and off the court with DUPR.

Because the best matches aren’t just about who wins…They’re about who you play with. 💕🏓
