Paddle-Up Pickleball

Paddle-Up is the all-in-one app built for pickleball players. Find games at courts you love, organize your crew, and stay connected with the players you want to play with most.

WHY PADDLE-UP

Pickleball is exploding, but coordinating games is still a mess of group chats, missed messages, and awkward "is anyone free?" texts. Paddle-Up solves the scheduling, communication, and discovery problems pickleball players face every day.

FIND GAMES THAT MATCH YOUR LEVEL

- Get notified when games are posted at your saved courts
- Filter by skill rating, game type, and game format
- See real-time weather forecasts on every outdoor game
- Indoor courts clearly marked
- Distance-based search with adjustable radius (25 to 250 miles)

BUILD YOUR PICKLEBALL CREW

- Add players to your crew for priority game invites
- Organize members with custom labels (Friday Morning, Subs, Tournament Crew)
- Stay private with crew-only releases before going public
- Block players with the "Do Not Invite" list

REACH — KNOW WHEN TO POST

The first feature of its kind. See exactly when your crew and other players in your area are most available to play, by court and time. Pick the optimal window and create your game in two taps. Stop guessing — start playing.
