Ping Pong, Open Gym and Leagues in Maine: Nov 16–22
Maine's pickup week, Nov 16–22: new drop-ins in New Gloucester, Biddeford and Monmouth, three games, and two Portland leagues closing sign-ups.
New Gloucester just joined the map. The New Gloucester Community and Recreation Center now has ping pong, pickleball and adult open gym basketball listed, and indoor soccer and volleyball drop-ins popped up in Biddeford and Monmouth. Two Portland leagues also close sign-ups this week, so if you've been thinking about a winter team, now's the time.
Pickup games
Three games are on the board so far, all up north. Tuesday starts with intermediate pickleball at the Old Town-Orono YMCA at 9 AM, then an any-level open gym at Skehan Recreation Center in Hampden that evening. Sunday morning there's any-level basketball at the New Balance Student Rec Center in Orono. Nothing near you? Post a game and nearby players will hear about it.
Drop-in and open gym times
There are 400 drop-in sessions across Maine this week, and pickleball fills most of them. New this week: ping pong in New Gloucester on Tuesday ($5), pickleball there Wednesday evening ($5), early-morning open-level pickleball at the Central Lincoln County YMCA in Damariscotta, coed indoor soccer at Biddeford High School and pick-up volleyball in Monmouth. Costs and times can change, so check with them before you go.
Rec leagues signing up
Casco Bay Sports Tuesday Coed Dodgeball in Portland closes Tuesday, Nov 17, and the Thursday 6v6 Coed Indoor Volleyball league closes Thursday, Nov 19. Both take free agents, so you don't need a full team. Auburn's men's 30+ basketball and two Portland Monday 7v7 soccer leagues close Nov 30.
