When California high school programs can secure quality non-league opponents without the usual scramble, entire seasons begin on firmer ground. CalGamesWanted is answering that long-standing need with a statewide digital scheduling platform created to help coaches and athletic directors organize games with more speed, visibility, and control. Founded by Clifford Winston under the promise “Created by Coaches for Coaches,” the company focuses on one clear mission: helping California high school coaches and athletic directors schedule games with less stress and better competitive alignment. The platform supports non-league contests, scrimmages, summer leagues, and tournaments, while also serving varsity, junior varsity, and freshman teams across sports such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, football, flag football, baseball, and softball, with room to add more sports by request. Its broader vision is simple and timely: bring modern scheduling technology into California high school athletics so schools can spend less time chasing dates and more time preparing student athletes for meaningful competition.
That vision is rooted in Winston’s experience. He coached high school girls sports in the Sac Joaquin Section for more than twenty years, spent eleven years as a varsity head coach, guided two schools to Sac Joaquin Section finals with one championship, established two AAU programs, coached in four AAU National Tournaments, served as a community college assistant coach during the COVID pandemic, and retired from both the State of California and the US Navy Reserves. CalGamesWanted was then shaped with input from coaches, athletic directors, and referees who understood how difficult non-league scheduling could become when team strength, timing, and communication did not align. “We built CalGamesWanted to give California coaches a smarter path forward,” said Winston. “With current technology, clear availability, and practical tools, schools can organize schedules, identify the right opponents, and follow every stage of the process with far less guesswork.” That firsthand credibility continues to define the platform’s practical and service-minded approach.
CalGamesWanted brings that purpose to life through Interactive Calendar, Real Time Updates, Varsity Team Rating, Create Your Tournament, Athletic Directors database access, instant notifications, and optional Email Blast support for last-minute replacement needs. The process is straightforward: teams register, complete verification, receive login instructions, post available dates, search section availability, request games, and track responses as they move toward confirmation. Once a contest is secured, the listing is removed immediately so information stays current, reducing duplicate outreach and helping schools act on reliable scheduling data. Tournament hosts can identify CIF teams seeking events during selected dates and invite them directly with a click. On the access side, the company has extended its free trial through December 31, 2026, with no payment required, no obligation, and no credit cards, while encouraging schools and districts to cover program costs so coaches and athletic directors can stay focused on their teams rather than administrative burden.
CalGamesWanted is a California-based high school sports scheduling platform built to simplify non-league game planning for coaches and athletic directors across the state. Created from real coaching experience and strengthened by modern digital tools, it helps schools organize schedules, track progress, find competitive matchups, and manage tournaments with greater clarity and less stress. With trusted insight, current information, and a statewide focus, CalGamesWanted offers a more efficient way for school programs to move from open dates to confirmed competition.
