I've played pickleball with a group for about 2 years. The group is nice but there are a lot of personalities. I know that I'm accepted but feel that it is a little cliquish.(clique). I stopped going for 6 months and during that time I ran into a couple players and they asked me why haven't played. I said that it felt cliquish. I now want to go back to play (since I don't have another group to play with ) but feel uncomfortable since I said it was cliquish. Thoughts?
