Is it made for facilities only?
PicklePlay is for all pickleball enthusiasts wanting to find courts, players, events, or connect with our vibrant community of pickleball players.

Not just brick and mortar facilities, community based clubs/groups utilize this functionality also! Even our paid options are much more affordable than most software platforms on the market!

What problems does it solve?
For individuals, it will help to find courts (both locally and while traveling), find events or clubs in a specific area, find players, and connect with like-minded individuals.
For clubs, it can make managing a club so much easier. Designed with the club or group manager in mind, it will help to get more organized, be more efficient, and spend more time on the courts playing instead of managing your pickleball club!
Schedule a FREE demo call today to learn more and see if this would be a good fit for your club or group. You can also run unlimited Round Robin Tournaments and Scramble Ladder Leagues with the Club + Subscription.
Can I add my local court to the map screen?
YES! With Pickleball’s popularity, courts are popping up rapidly all over the US and around the world. If you find a court that is not in PicklePlay, we encourage you to add the court. You can do this by clicking the + icon in the map screen. The app will prompt you to add court info and you can upload a photo. Adding courts helps to keep the app up to date with courts rapidly growing.
User Favorite Features:
- Shout out requests to play (and adding a location for friends to join):
If you are looking for someone to play in your area, click the Players tab on the home or map screen and then select "Send Looking to Play Request". This will prompt a series of a few questions: when, where, and what skill level you are looking for. A notification will be sent out to anyone that meets that criteria within a 15 mile radius. PicklePlay acts as a connecting point to help players find other players and recommendations in specific locations! - Being able to communicate with other members within the App:
Individually: You can communicate in our app social feed on home page, which allows players to view and post to engage with other players within a 100 mile radius of their location. Or, the chat icon (top right icon of home screen) allows players to send individual or group chat threads.
As a club or group: The "Feed" tab is available for clubs/group in the "Clubs" tab. Admins can make quick announcements and communicate with their members. Admins can also allow members to make posts here. You can do this by clicking the purple plus icon if group activity is permitted and scroll to catch up on the latest activity. All members can like, comment, and tag players on feed posts at any time. - Club+ Subscription:
Subscription for club/group admins. You can learn more, compare features, and sign up here: https://pickleplay.com/clubs/#club-packages. - Family Accounts:
Family accounts are a newer feature to PicklePlay. This is ideal for children, families, spouses. You no longer have to log in and out to switch accounts and RSVP for your club/group events. Do it all under ONE account!
