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. A new, optional subscription service called PlayTime Premium will allow club leaders and other "power users" to manage different types of events, such as round robins and clinics. Players will have even more reasons to log in on a daily basis to keep up with everything pickleball-related happening in their area.
