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
The tournament at SBRC got canceled and we do have all four courts reserved for open play from 8AM to 11AM for tomorrow the 25th. Carl
We will not have any pickleball courts available for open play this Saturday at South Boulder Rec center. Gonzo pickleball has reserved all the courts from 8 AM to 5PM for a tournament. hopefully this is just a one time event. Carl

Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers.
I apologize in advance for using this forum, but I simply would like to contact the person who I met a couple of weeks ago who grows his own peppers from seed and I cannot remember your name. So if you're the pepper person, please contact me directly ericnoodle@gmail.com.
Thanks, and once again, sorry for this one-time off-topic message. -Eric
I found a men's navy blue pull-over at the East Boulder outdoor PB courts last week. It has Virginia on the back. Let me know if it belongs to anyone you know. Otherwise, I will return it to the EBCC lost and found inside the rec center.
Hi Boulder Pickleballers. Just wanted all to know there are two courts reserved at North Boulder Rec for Open Play today, Saturday March 19th until 11am. Trying to spread the availability for Open Play.
Update on Drop-in Hours: South Boulder Rec Center is currently reserving all four pickleball courts for drop-in play Monday through Friday from 9am - noon through the end of April. The hours will revert to 8am -11am beginning Monday, May 2nd for the warmer weather. We also have drop-in pickleball at South on Saturday and Sunday 9am - noon thanks to Carl Roedel who coordinates the weekend reservations for all of us. Thank you, Carl!
SBRC pickleball courts. We only needed to shovel 2 or 3 inches of snow and slush on the south end and west side, but the courts are very wet and I'm not sure how playable they will be in the morning . maybe plan to bring a broom , squeegee, or towels . Carl
SBRC pickleball shovelers. I think this will stop by noon or a little after and if we want to play Friday we should try to clear the courts this afternoon. I suggest 3 PM with shovels,brooms and squeegees to clear the courts for Friday play. Carl
