Run Clubs, Volleyball and Pickup in Maine: Nov 9–15
Pickup games, 382 drop-in times and 21 rec leagues in Maine for Nov 9–15, plus new brewery run clubs and free indoor soccer in Bar Harbor.
Two new run clubs start from Maine breweries this week, and the Mount Desert Island YMCA just added free indoor soccer nights. It's dark by dinnertime now, so most of the week happens indoors: open gyms, pickleball courts and a stack of winter leagues taking sign-ups.
Pickup games
Three public games so far, all around Orono and Old Town. Monday at 5:30 PM there's pickup basketball at the New Balance Student Rec Center, open to any level with plenty of room. Pickleball runs Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9 at the Old Town-Orono YMCA, listed as intermediate.
Nothing near you yet? Post a game in about 30 seconds, and nearby players who play that sport will hear about it.
Drop-in and open gym times
New this week: the Sub 5 Monday evening group run from Sea Dog Brewing in Bangor, Monday at 5:30 PM, and the Wednesday run club at Bissell Brothers Brewing in Portland, Wednesday at 5:30 PM. Both are listed as free. Bar Harbor gets rec indoor soccer at the MDI YMCA on Monday and Wednesday at 6:30 PM. There's also new drop-in pickleball in Unity at Unity Elementary School and Friday evening open play in Brunswick. Check each listing's source for times before you go.
Pickleball has the most open play by far, with basketball next. Browse all drop-in times by sport or town.
Rec leagues signing up
Deadlines come fast this week. The Casco Bay Sports Monday indoor pickleball league in South Portland closes Monday, and Biddeford's volleyball leagues close Tuesday (Men's A), Wednesday (Women's A) and Thursday (Women's B). Up north, Brewer just posted four winter volleyball leagues, and Bangor added adult dodgeball for January. Each league has a board to find a team or teammates.
