Sponsorship Information
PlayTime is helping pickleballers everywhere connect, communicate, and stay organized.
PlayTimeScheduler.com allows players to easily arrange pickleball games in their local areas. Users post play sessions with their desired date/time, location, skill level, and number of players. Matching players receive a notification, and can RSVP by adding their name and comments. PlayTime puts an end to annoying group texts and endless email threads – and eliminates the heartbreak of showing up to empty courts!

What's Next
We're continuing to develop new features to provide users with even more customization and control. Our new, optional subscription service called PlayTime Premium allows "power users" to manage different types of events, such as round robins and clinics. Next on the horizon is a Club version, which will allow private entities to create and manage membership lists, and control their own calendars.
Who We Are
PlayTime Scheduler has been developed over the past 4 years by the team at STLi Web Solutions, a digital design firm located in Sacramento, California. We have been creating web sites and interactive media for over 25 years. PlayTime is the brainchild of our Senior Developer, Reine Steel, a professional pickleball instructor with a passion for growing the sport.
