Use this site to set up games, find players, communicate with each other. You can set up games to be either public or invite-only so it's great for organizing drop-in times as well as for scheduling times for your pod/small group.
There's a Comments section if you want to post general questions to the group, and there are ways to send emails to selected people. Comments get emailed to everyone in the network.
We're all trying it out for a while to see if it works for us. Invite other players you know to join - the larger the group gets, the more useful the network will be.

Network Wall
A FEW TIPS WE'VE LEARNED SO FAR
- - - Scroll Down To See The Comments Wall and Recent Posts - - -
Groups
If you prefer to play with the same group of people, you can create a group and then when you schedule a play time, only the people in your group get notified. To create a group, click on GROUPS, then Create A Group, give your group a name, select the players and click SUBMIT. Your group will now show up as an option when you are scheduling play time.
Posts/Comments
We've discovered 3 different places you can post messages and comments (can make it confusing until you figure out where you really want your post to appear).
1) There is a comment section down further on this page, good for general posts. Your Comment gets emailed to everyone in the network, so it's an easy way to quickly contact everyone.
2) You can post comments on the specific play times, and anyone registered for that play time will get notified of a post. Click on the play time and you'll see a Play Session Chat section. This is handy because it keeps all the messages related to one play time together.
3) You can post under an individual's name. Click on their name and you'll see a Post Comment section.
Getting Notified When Someone Sets Up A Time To Play
When you add a play time to the calendar, the system sends a notification to the people you've designated - either everyone in the Boulder Area Pickleball network or your smaller group that you've created.
When the system actually sends out the notification to each person is based on their preference. You can change the timing of these notifications in your own profile - e.g. get the notifications immediately, once per day, etc. We suggest you start out with "immediate" so you get notified as soon as someone posts something. After a bit you can change the frequency.
To change how often you receive notifications from the system:
Click on the bell icon in the top right of the screen
Click on Update Your Notification Settings
Choose when you want to receive notifications
Reserving A Court
This network organizes players and events (play times) but does not reserve a court for you. If you are setting up a time to play at a city court, you can either
1) take your chances that a court will be open or
2) reserve a court through the City's system https://apm.activecommunities.com/boulderparksrec/Reserve_Options
TIPS
Reserve the whole tennis court rather than the pickleball court and you'll get 2 courts for the price of one.
South Boulder Recreation Center Outdoors
Tennis Court #3 = Pickleball Courts #1 & 2 (east side)
Tennis Court #4 = Pickleball Courts #3 & 4 (west side)
East Boulder Community Center Outdoors
Tennis Court #5= Pickleball Courts #5a & 5b
North Boulder Recreation Center Outdoors
Tennis Court #1 = Pickleball Courts #1 & 2
Go to Boulder, Colorado to view events for the entire area, and not just this network.

All 4 courts at South Boulder are playable , we may need some towels for court 4 at the south end. I'm planning on coming between 9 and 9:30, hope to see players there. Carl
Report on snow shoveling at South - a huge thanks to Glenn Locke, Carl Roedel, Sally Sennett and Michele Seipp. We got courts 3&4 cleared.
Anyone who is so inclined can shovel the other two courts this afternoon - warm sunny weather is perfect for shoveling.
If you do shovel, remember that everything drains west to east so push all the snow to the east fence. Don’t pile up much along the other fences as it will melt and run onto the courts.
If you play Saturday bring a shovel along with your paddle so you can shovel some while waiting to play.
Anyone want to shovel at S. Rec this morning so we can play this weekend? 10?
Shovel party at South - Come help us shovel the outside courts at South Boulder Rec Center, Sunday Jan 2 starting at 9:00am. Bring your own shovel - but please don't bring shovel with metal edges, they chop up the surface. Shovels with plastic edges only. If we get a decent crew it won't take too long, the snow is light and fluffy.
all the courts are reserved from noon till 3:30 , I would consider playin g now till noon , if anyone else wants to play. Carl
