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.

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.

For anyone wondering if people are showing up for evening drop-in play at South, about 20 players were there Monday evening.
If you'd like to announce which evening you want to play (hoping your friends will see that and then show up), you can click on the time in the "event calendar" above - scroll up to see the calendar. Click on the event and then on the right side of your screen there is an "event registration" box (on phones scroll down the page to get to the registration section). Check the "yes" for Are You Coming and click Save. Now everyone who just loves to play with you will get notified that you're coming, and you didn't have to send out a slew of emails to set it all up.
We're extending our evening trial of drop-in play at South for another week, so come out if you're interested.
The starting time is now 6:30pm, hoping it's a bit cooler, and you can play up till 8:30 when the courts officially are supposed to close.
The 2 courts on the west side are reserved for drop-in play (courts 3&4).
If you have any thoughts about this evening idea, feel free to leave a comment and get the discussion started.
I would like to find someone(s) who wants to play at NBRC. I am available most times and days. Thanks.
Thanks Michele! I'd love to play some evenings. See you this week!
Hey folks who play at South Boulder Rec. It's going to be really hot tomorrow like today. Anyone want to get there at 7 and get some play in before we melt?
I was a B level reacketball player but only recently have started playing pickleball. I am close to the NBRC. I would like to join in with a group that plays somewhat regularly or just meet someone at my level or better as I think I will improve very quickly. Thanks.
Pat, Nancy Antros has the racquet you left on the court this morning. She will bring it on Friday.
What time are folks showing up for drop-in at south boulder tomorrow? The with early sunrise and warm temperatures these days, I can start anytime. Also, if anyone is interested in some early morning weekday play, I'd love to meet up before I have to be online for work.
Tuesday and Wednesday at South boulder the courts are all reserved from 8:30 past noon, it looks like for a tennis tournament ,So I suggest all of us who play on Wednesday , go over to Autrey Park in Superior 1830 Honey Creek Dr . Start around 8 AM . Saturday and Sunday this week we have all 4 courts reserved for open play at SBRC 8 to 11.
All 4 courts at South Boulder Rec are reserved for open play from 8 to 11 AM tomorrow and Sunday 4 courts from 8 to 10 AM reserved for open play.
