Next Up picks fair, random teams in one tap. Add your players, choose a team size, and let the app decide who plays with whom. No more arguing, no more "you always get the good team." Just tap, split, and play. Built for pickup games of every kind: pickleball, Spikeball / roundnet, basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis doubles, kickball, dodgeball, board games, and couch co-op. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your crew. Give each player a name and pick an avatar or use their photo. 2. Check in who's playing today. Anyone sitting out stays on the list for next time. 3. Pick 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, or Any to split everyone who showed up into two sides. 4. Tap RANDOM TEAMS and watch the lineup reveal. FEATURES • Random team generator with a fair, unbiased shuffle • Reshuffle in one tap if you want a fresh draw • Tap the winning team to record the result and celebrate with confetti • Rematch with the same teams or roll new ones • Game history with the date, time, winners, and who they beat • Coin flip for first serve, side, or any 50/50 call • Player photos and avatars so everyone spots their team fast • Sound effects and animations that make picking teams part of the fun • Works offline, no account or sign-up needed • Free WHO IT'S FOR • Pickleball and tennis players rotating partners at open play • Spikeball and roundnet crews at the park or beach • Basketball, volleyball, soccer, and flag football pickup games • PE teachers, coaches, and camp counselors splitting kids into two sides • Game nights, trivia, and family gatherings Next Up was born on a Spikeball court where picking teams took longer than the game itself. Now it takes one tap. Add your players and get to the fun part: playing. Questions or ideas? Email homesuitehomeapps+NextUp@gmail.com
