The Fastest Way to Schedule Games

There are plenty of ways to schedule pickleball games with friends: phone call, txt, email, GroupMe, TeamReach, etc., but there is a great new app out that is dedicated to pickleball, has excellent features, and is FREE!

PICKLEHEADS

Pickleheads is the fastest way to pull together a game.

- Find a court
- Pick the time
- Set to public or private
- Invite individuals or a group, and players confirm if they will be there or not
- Cap the number of players
  - There is a built-in wait list feature that allows more people to sign up and are notified if anyone drops out and a spot is open
- Add any general notes to the session info and if there's a cost
- Chat is built into each session, so there's no need to txt individuals or have numerous group txts
- The app lets you customize notifications, so you're notified and reminded of games via phone push notification, txt, and/or email

Join these groups for the Catawba Pickleball Club to be notified of games.
Catawba Pickleball Club - Main group for round-robins and other fun and competitive events
YMCA at the Complex - Group for organizing games at the YMCA at the Complex courts

In the past, we have used TeamReach, txt, GroupMe, and email, and I expect folks will continue to use those, but I will primarily use Pickleheads (and email for a while) for round-robins going forward.

Enjoy!
