January 30: Design Meeting for Pickleball court construction project at Eckstein Middle School
This community meeting and design workshop will take place Wednesday January 30th, from 6:30 to 8 pm, at the Eckstein Middle School Library.
The Landscape Architect firm Johnson Southerland, the Seattle Schools Self Help Office and Friends of Eckstein MS Pickleball will attend.
If you have any interest in playing on those courts, support this project by coming to this meeting. Make it fun by bringing your friends.
All are welcome, bring your ideas, questions or just listen.
Future meetings (March and April) will be presenting 1 or 2 final scenarios; this is the time to be in on the early phase of planning and design. The school address is 3003 NE 75th Ave NE, Seattle WA 98115. Please enter only through the school’s front door, which faces NE 75th. Parking is on the west side of the school on 30th Ave NE.
Introducing Playtime Scheduler
Time for pickleball tells you where and when drop-in pickleball is happening. It's pretty good at what it does, but there is a lot it doesn't do.
What if you want to invite players at your skill level to come practice with you at a specific community center tomorrow morning?
What if you want to organize an outdoor game and invite all willing players this coming weekend?
What if you want to rent a court at Pickleball Station and invite just three friends?
Mellany would send texts, Jean would send emails, Frank would create a Facebook post, Sylvia would create a Meetup, Ken would use his mailing list, Lynette would contact her Google Group. But now there is Playtime Scheduler.
Playtime Scheduler makes it easy to organize games. For the last two years it has been in use around Sacramento where 900 registered users post an average of 45 pickleball sessions a week. It is now finally available in the Greater Seattle area.
Here is how it works. First you have to register:
- Go to the Playtime Scheduler web site.
- Click the Register button.
- Select Greater Seattle Area, WA as your region.
- Fill in your information. including your zip code and skill level.
- Click on the Register button.
Now, make it suit your needs:
- Click on the My Account button.
- Click on Email Preferences.
- Tell the system when you are available to play pickleball and how far from home you are willing to travel.
That's it. You are now ready to join an existing session or create your own session and invite people to join. When someone creates a new session that fits your availability, your travel zone, and your skill level, you will receive an email.
If you have any question, please email infotimeforpickleball.com.
See you on the courts!
