Rather than even attempt to play pickleball during this short stay, find out where the courts are, compared to where some homes you might be interested in are located. Then go and watch them play for a half hour, as part of your tour of that rec center's facilities.
My hubby is also an introvert, but he loves golf. He also likes watching the entertainment at the squares. So when we go, I do the dancing, he does the sitting. Works out great!
I'm also from New England and will -always- consider it home - even though I no longer have a home there and live in The Villages full time. You could tell him - if he has to be anywhere other than New England for retirement, even if he's not fond of Florida, The Villages is awesome. That's my take on the Villages. Of all 50 states (and I've been to 48 of them), Florida is one of my least liked. I wish the Villages was in New Mexico instead of Florida. That would be perfect, for me. But it's not in NM - so I put up with Florida, and enjoy my retirement at the Villages. Lots to do, OR nothing to do if you prefer - you get to set your own pace here.
