Today is R U OK?Day. đ
*Your mate hasnât replied in the group chat.
*The player whoâs normally first to put their name down hasnât registered.
*Your doubles partner seems quieter than usual.
*Someone who never misses a session hasnât been at the courts lately.
*The person who normally hangs around for a chat packs up and leaves straight away.
*Your teammate says theyâre fine⌠but something just feels different.
Sometimes the signs are obvious.
Sometimes theyâre as simple as someone not quite being themselves.
Pickleball gives us plenty of reasons to get together â but sometimes the most important conversation we have at the courts has nothing to do with pickleball.
If you notice a change, check in.
If youâre thinking it, Ask R U OK? Any Day. đ
