What we’re about
If you’re an adult who’s ever thought, “I wish I’d learned that!” — this is your sign to start now. At The TryAthletes, we believe it’s never too late to pick up a new sport or hobby. Whether you’ve never swung a bat, held a golf club, or even heard of pickleball, you’re welcome here — no experience required, just curiosity and a good attitude. We organize fun, low-pressure events to try all kinds of sports — from baseball and golf to pickleball, padel, and more — so you can discover what you actually enjoy (and laugh a lot along the way). Think of it as your adult beginner’s playground: a place to show up as a blank canvas, try something new, and maybe even surprise yourself. Because we’re not pros — we’re TryAthletes. 🏓

Explorer of new hobbies, collector of awkward first attempts, and proud founder of The TryAthletes.
Hey, I’m Eden — born and raised in the Philippines, where I didn’t always get the chance to try new sports growing up. Then adulthood hit, and with work and life piling up, “trying new things” kind of slipped away. By day, I’m probably googling “how to hold a golf club.” By night, I’m rallying a crew of adults ready to dive into something new — from pickleball to padel, and everything in between. I started The TryAthletes because it’s never too late to learn, laugh, and rediscover the joy of being a beginner. No pros, no pressure — just good vibes, new friends, and plenty of firsts. Life may get in the way, but fun shouldn’t be forgotten. 🏓✨
