Cross Court Pickleball Newsletter – June 15, 2026

Summer is officially here, but judging by the forecast, Mother Nature didn’t get the memo! With plenty of rain expected this week, outdoor pickleball plans may be a little uncertain.
That’s one of the many benefits of indoor play. At Cross Court, you never have to worry about wet courts, cancellations, wind, or unpredictable weather. You can count on consistent playing conditions, scheduled games, and a welcoming community every time you step on the court.
If the forecast has you looking for a backup plan, there’s still time to book a court, join a drop-in, or sign up for a program. Whether you’re looking to stay active, improve your skills, or simply get some extra games in when the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ve got you covered.
We look forward to seeing you on the courts!
MOVING FROM SWISH TO PICKLEHEADS
As many of you have already noticed, we’re in the process of transitioning our leagues from Swish to Pickleheads.
This change was made due to a number of ongoing issues we were experiencing with Swish, and we believe Pickleheads will provide a smoother and more reliable experience for our players moving forward.
Instruction sheets have been posted at both facilities to help make the transition as easy as possible. If you’re new to Pickleheads, don’t worry, it should be fairly straightforward to navigate once you’ve had a chance to explore it.
We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through this transition. As with any new system, there may be a few bumps along the way, but we’re confident this will be a positive change for our community.

LEAGUE REMINDER
We’ve noticed an increase in late arrivals recently, so we’d like to send out a quick reminder to league players.
Please aim to arrive 5–10 minutes before your league begins. This gives you time to check in, find your court, warm up, and be ready to play when the round starts.
When players arrive late, it can delay matches and reduce court time for everyone involved. To help keep leagues running on schedule, players and coordinators may wait up to 5 minutes for a missing player. After that, play may begin without them.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping leagues run smoothly and ensuring all players get the most out of their time on court.
Thank you for your help and understanding!
