PickleConnect is the easiest way to find pickleball courts, connect with players, and organize games in your area. FIND COURTS NEAR YOU Browse courts sorted by distance from your location. See real-time info including who's playing, crowd levels, court conditions, lights status, and live weather with wind speed — critical for outdoor play. Check in to let others know you're there, or schedule your arrival so players can plan around you. CONNECT WITH PLAYERS Post your availability and let the app automatically match you with nearby players who are free at the same time. Share your schedule publicly, with connections only, or with hand-picked players and groups. Browse player profiles to find people at your skill level. ORGANIZE GAMES Create casual or competitive games with a date, time, court, and player limit. Invite specific players or make it public for anyone nearby to join. Track RSVPs, see who's accepted, and get reminders before game time. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Stay in the loop without the spam. Get notified when: - A new game is created near you - A player's availability matches yours - Someone invites you to a game or responds to your invite - A player checks in at the same court during your time - Your game starts in 15 minutes - You receive a direct message Every notification type can be individually toggled on or off. Set quiet hours to pause non-urgent alerts overnight. BUILT-IN MESSAGING Message other players directly within the app. Coordinate games, ask about court conditions, or find a doubles partner — no need to share personal contact info. PROXIMITY CHECK-IN When you're near a registered court, PickleConnect detects it and prompts you to check in with one tap. Let the community know you're on-site. LIVE COURT DASHBOARD Each court has a real-time dashboard showing: - Who's playing now and who's coming soon (grouped by arrival time) - Current weather and hourly wind forecast - Crowd level, court condition, lights, and rotation count - Community-updated status that any player can contribute to Whether you're a 2.5 just getting started or a 5.0+ tournament player, PickleConnect helps you find your people and get on the court. Free to use. No ads. Built by pickleball players, for pickleball players.
