At DINKR, our passion for pickleball has driven us to enhance the way you connect and play. We created DINKR to simplify game scheduling with friends and to make it effortless to find new playing partners, whether you're on your home courts or traveling. It’s a one-stop solution that eliminates endless chats threads across multiple platforms: in DINKR you can manage your every part of your games within in the app. Our sequential invite system allows you to control who you want play with - some days it may be your besties, at other times it might be a different group of friends. Whichever it is, DINKR makes it easy. And with messaging built right in, you’ll never need to worry about communicating with players you have a game scheduled with. It’s easy, it’s efficient, and it’s fun.
