How PicklePlay is Helping College Campuses!

Pickleball continues to be one of the fastest growing sports and the sport is trending younger everyday. The once "older demographic" sport is now booming on college campuses around the country and around the world. A large part because it's a fun, competitive, and easy to learn sport. College campuses are bursting with a new, fun alternative for students to engage in. Whether that be in an official competitive "club" team on campus or just a campus community group, PicklePlay is a great resource.

Ditch the long, confusing text threads and GroupMe chats, long email threads, and social media pages that can get outdated with new posts quickly.... Here is how PicklePlay can help! 

1. Mobile app and Web based software allows for effortless engagement by students. All they have to do is post the direct download link and QR code on flyers around campus and share online to easily direct students to join their campus pickleball group. This helps to get all the players that are interested in pickleball all in one place or platform to easily see upcoming play opportunities.  

2. Easily communicate with your club and make announcements to all players on campus interested in playing pickleball. The Group Chat "Feed" tab allows admin to make posts, announcements, alerts, and engage with students on upcoming events and activity details. The admin can also open it to all members to be able to post in the feed tab. Liking and commenting is open on each post made, even tag players within the group on posts & comments to effectively communicate!

3. The schedule tab gives all players the ability to easily see when and where the next organized play times are and see events that are posted. They can track attendance and students can RSVP for upcoming events with a click of a button! Admins can quickly and easily put a max number of players, and have an automatic waitlist if more people sign up than allowed. 

4. These features above are all FREE for members under 100 users. PicklePlay also has a Club+ Subscription which allows them to collect payments for events and even membership dues if relevant. Payment is easily set up by connecting a Stripe account!

The Club+ Subscription also allows UNLIMITED Members! It has all the features of the FREE version, along with features like delayed sign ups, League & Round Robin Management, the ability to send email blasts to all members, and more! Our Club+ Subscription is only $300/year. Plus, we have a special offer below.

For a LIMITED TIME, we are partnering with Franklin Sports to offer a FREE 100 pack of X-40 Pickleballs and 100 PicklePlay water bottle stickers to all new campus groups that sign up. That is over a $350 value just to get started, and more value than the subscription itself!

Our free version is still commonly used on campuses and has most functionality needed for smaller groups. Click here to compare all plans: https://pickleplay.com/clubs/#club-packages.
