Grind Session vs Courtside

The Grind Session is the first-ever winter circuit of elite high school basketball events. In past seasons, our teams have played in some of the greatest and most unique cities of the U.S., as well as the Bahamas, and Canada. From late November to early March, over 200 action-packed games will be played. The Grind Session mobile app lets you keep up with your favorite team's stats, highlights, and track all the games live. Sign up for free in the app and join the grind.

Courtside connects the people who organize pickleball with the people who show up to play — one app for both sides of the net. FOR ORGANIZERS • Create and publish events in minutes: courts, capacity, tournament format, and start time • Keep events in draft while you plan, then flip them live when you're ready • Manage your roster — see who's joined, who's waitlisted, and invite your followers directly • Run live scoring on game day: enter scores, track rounds, and manage court assignments in real time • Seed and run brackets across round robin, single elimination, double elimination, Swiss, and group stage formats FOR PLAYERS • Discover pickleball events and communities near you by location and radius • Follow the organizers and clubs you trust — their events land right in your feed • Join open events in one tap, or land on the waitlist if a game is full • Track live scores and match results as they happen, court by court • View player stats — wins, losses, and win rate — for anyone in an event Courtside handles the logistics that usually live in group chats, spreadsheets, and side conversations — so clubs can spend their energy on the game, not the admin.
