Exciting Platform Update – Moving to Mindbody!
We wanted to give everyone a heads-up that we’ll be transitioning from PodPlay to Mindbody in the coming weeks.
This move will help unify all Cross Court locations onto the same booking platform, making things more streamlined and efficient for both players and staff. We believe Mindbody will provide a smoother overall experience once everything is up and running.
We know that any change can feel a little challenging at first, especially when you’re used to a system that works for you. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through the transition and get everyone comfortable with the new platform.
We’ll be sharing more information, timelines, and step-by-step instructions as we get closer to the switch, so keep an eye on your inbox for updates.
Thank you for bearing with us during this change, we’re excited about the improvements it will bring!
🎯 PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE
One of the quickest ways to improve your pickleball game is to dedicate some court time specifically to practice.
Consider booking a court for:
• Drilling
• Third-shot practice
• Dinking sessions
• DUPR matches
• Tournament preparation
A little focused practice can make a huge difference when game day arrives.
💡 PICKLEBALL TIP OF THE WEEK
Stop trying to win every point with one shot.
Many players rush to hit a winner as soon as they get an opportunity, but the strongest players focus on building the point. Stay patient, move your opponents, and wait for the right ball before attacking.
Remember: Consistency wins far more points than power.
This week, challenge yourself to keep one extra ball in play before attempting an aggressive shot. You may be surprised at how many more rallies—and points—you win.
