PLAYTIME SCHEDULER

 

Just a note about the SCHEDULER. It's a free website that you can use anywhere. You just need to input your email address (no password is required for the free version).

"Playtime Scheduler is a FREE scheduling tool created exclusively for pickleball.

Using this site, you will be able to create and join play sessions with other players in your area. No more endless group texts or emails, or showing up to empty courts!

• Quickly see where the action is on the weekly calendar

• Sign up for a session with just one click

• Know who's going to show up before you head out the door

• Arrange public play sessions by skill level

• Create invite-only sessions for leagues or private groups

• Get customized email notifications

• Easily communicate with other players

• Discover new court locations using the interactive map

• Works great on all browsers and smartphones"

It's a social tool to connect people and places to play. When you sign up, join region Sault Ste. Marie and check out all the courts, other members and the calendar. You can join sessions already scheduled or create your own. You can just put it out there that you want to play Friday at 4pm and any other member can join you. You can make your session private and just invite those you want to play. You can specify what level of players to include. Check out the Email Preferences on your account. You control how many emails you get. The choices are endless. For example, I like to play in the evening, so I've checked the box that sends me an email every time some one sets up an open session in the evening. Go into the settings and rate your level of play.

 

Please note that this is not a reservation tool ... it's just to set up games. Member only courts (WAC, YMCA, Algoma U) have reservation systems and time slots that you must use. You can use the note field to tell your group when you've actually completed or cancelled a reservation at WAC for example. City courts are first come, first serve, shorten game when others waiting. So even though you set up a session for 11am at Merrified, if the courts are full, you'll have to wait your turn or go elsewhere.
