Welcome to the Shuffleboard and Social Club website. The purpose of this club is to provide a social atmosphere for sportsmanship, fellowship, companionship, and recreation for the benefit of its members and the residents of Laguna Woods Village.
Shuffleboard is a fun game to play, for people of all ages and abilities, and it can have many benefits. There are many reasons to give it a try. Here are a few:
It’s a social game – If you’re playing doubles, you’ll take your turn and then have time to converse with your opponent while the members at the other end of the court plays. It’s a very social sport. Many members of our club have made friendships that extend far beyond the shuffleboard courts. We’ve even had a few romances and marriages.
It’s easy to learn – We always have someone available to give lessons during our regular play hours on Mondays & Tuesdays at 9:30 and Thursdays at 5:30. Stop by about 10 minutes before the game and introduce yourself. Someone will always welcome you and line you up for a lesson.
A little competition is fun – There are many strategies involved in playing a game of shuffleboard, from protecting your scoring disk to putting your opponent in the kitchen.
It’s easy to start – almost anyone can play, including people with disabilities, and no partner is required. All necessary equipment is provided.
You get some exercise – You exercise your entire body during play; arms, legs, backs. After a game you will realize just how much energy you have expended.
You exercise your brain – Shuffleboard requires a lot of strategy and to play a successful game you will find yourself constantly thinking of the best next move you can make.
A sense of community – Beyond the courts, our club fosters a sense of community. Join us for our annual spring and holiday dinners, our lunches, our jackpot pizza nights, and our potlucks. These are perfect opportunities to socialize, relax, and enjoy time with fellow members outside of regular play.
As a matter of safety please remember two things: 1) Never step on the courts, even if you are aware that the Poly Glide court-dressing has been removed. 2) You are not allowed to play wearing open-toed shoes or barefooted.
