Padel tennis requires at least 4 players, to be all available at the same time, at the same place, and more importantly, the levels of all players should be close to each other, so that the game becomes fun for all. In our busy lives today, this is easier said than done, Playmate app is here to help with that. It is designed to help you join open Padel games in your area, or even create new ones for people to join in. All playmate users undergo a quick online assessment to determine their level in Padel, this way you can make sure you’re going to play with players who are close to you in level and will help push you forward. You have the option to create standard, mixed, or female only Padel games.
