The Calendar page gives you a visual overview of upcoming games laid out on a traditional calendar grid. You can browse games by day, filter to just your own sessions, and export any approved game to your personal calendar app — so you never miss a session.

​
Viewing the calendar

Open Calendar from the main navigation. On desktop, the calendar defaults to a Month view. On mobile, it automatically switches to Week view for a better reading experience.

​
Month view

In month view, each day cell shows up to 4 upcoming game events as colored pills. Games are color-coded by category:
CategoryColor
Racquet & paddlePrimary (navy)
Team sportsSecondary
Lawn & outdoorAccent
Cards & tabletopSuccess (green)
OtherMuted
If a day has more than 4 games, a “+N more” indicator appears at the bottom of the cell. Click any day to see a full list of that day’s games in a panel below the grid.

​
Week view

In week view, each column represents one day of the current week. Each game is shown as a block with its start time and title. Clicking a day column header selects it and opens the same game list panel below.
  • Use the ‹ and › arrow buttons to move backward or forward by one month (in month view) or one week (in week view).
  • Click Today to jump back to the current date.
  • Toggle between Month and Week with the view tabs (desktop only).

​
Filtering calendar games

The Calendar page shares the same filter system as the Browse page. Open the Search button in the toolbar to access the filter panel.
Choose Upcoming, Past, or All to control which games appear on the calendar. “Upcoming” is the default and shows only games whose start time is in the future.
Choose Hosting, Joined, or All to limit the calendar to games you are involved in. “All” shows every public game (subject to your other filters), while “Hosting” or “Joined” focuses the view on your personal schedule.
Check one or more sports to show only games for those sports on the calendar.
Select a skill level (Casual, Intermediate, Competitive, All Levels Welcome) or leave it at “Any skill” to show all levels.
Set a city and radius to show only games within that distance. You can type a city/state or use Use my current location to detect your position automatically. The radius slider runs from 5 to 100 miles.
Toggle this on to show only games marked as beginner-friendly by the host.
Click Reset all filters at the bottom of the filter panel to restore all filters to defaults, including clearing the role filter back to “All” and the time filter back to “All”.

​
Exporting a game to your calendar

Once a host approves your join request — or if you are the host yourself — you can add the game to your personal calendar app.
Calendar export is available only to the host and approved participants. If your request is still pending or you are on the waitlist, the calendar buttons are replaced with the message: “Add to your calendar once the host approves your request.”
The export options appear in the Spread the word section on the game’s detail page:
1

Open the game detail page

Navigate to the game from the Calendar, Browse feed, or My Games list.
2

Find the calendar export buttons

Scroll to the Spread the word section. If you are the host or an approved participant, you will see two buttons: Add to Google Calendar and Add to Apple Calendar.
3

Add to Google Calendar

Click Add to Google Calendar. A new tab opens on the Google Calendar event-create page with the game title, start and end time, location, and a description pre-filled. If no end time was set by the host, the event defaults to a 2-hour duration. Review and save the event in Google Calendar.
4

Add to Apple Calendar or Outlook

Click Add to Apple Calendar. A .ics file is downloaded automatically. The filename is the game title with special characters replaced by hyphens (for example, Friday-Pickleball-at-Riverside.ics). Open the file to add the event to Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar app that supports the iCalendar format.
The .ics file works with Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, and most other calendar apps. If you use Google Calendar on desktop, both options produce the same result — use whichever is faster for you.

​
What the calendar event contains

The exported event includes:
  • Title — the game’s title
  • Start and end time — exact times in UTC, converted to your local time zone by your calendar app. If the host did not set an end time, the event ends 2 hours after the start time.
  • Location — the full address (if you are approved and the address is not hidden), or the city/state
  • Description — the host’s game notes and a direct link back to the game page on Witt & Play
