Yeah great question. Moved here in September. Settling in to the Heights, and excited to get out and meet more people as the weather takes a warmer turn. I’ll be on the lookout for softball leagues, but interested in other activities too

There is a Discord server that has neighborhood 'channels', the Heights channel is pretty active. People coordinate planned meetups and also 'short notice' walks, activities, lunches, etc. The larger server also has a book club, a brewing club, a walking/hiking and climbing group, etc etc. Sports are less active but I've seen general interest in pickup basketball, tennis, etc. so someone just has to make it happen.

I guess it's kind of annoying to have to join yet another social platform but once you accept the basic rules and understand how to navigate the platform, it becomes fairly easy to coordinate and join activities.

Recently joined Discord so I’m vaguely familiar. This is great and will join! Thanks

Welcome to the neighborhood!

We run softball, kickball and volleyball leagues in town (and Hoboken). Would love to have you join us. Great way to meet people when you’re new to town or just want to be more social. Spring Registration is going on now with league’s starting in a couple of weeks.

With all of our leagues you can sign up as an individual, with a group of friends or with a full team.

Let me know if you have any questions
