Paero is your all-in-one platform for local sports — built to find you the perfect match, every time. Pick your city, pick your sport — Badminton, Beach Volleyball, Squash, Tennis or Table Tennis — and connect instantly with players at your level. WHAT PAERO CAN DO • Create or join a match in seconds — from a casual 2v2 to a fully ranked showdown • Run tournaments like a pro: knockout, double elimination, group stage, Swiss system, live bracket, check-in and a dedicated organizer console • Build communities with WhatsApp- or Discord-style groups — channels, roles, polls, events and shared games included • Organize training camps with schedules and RSVPs • Find players on purpose — by city, sport and skill level • A fair ELO ranking system from Bronze to Diamond, plus XP levels, badges, missions and leaderboards WHAT PAERO VENUES CAN DO Paero Venues is next: bringing real sports facilities into the app. Courts and halls will soon be discoverable and bookable directly inside Paero — turning "who's free?" and "where do we play?" into a single, simple answer. Already today, every match shows where it's played and whether the court is booked. WHO IS PAERO FOR? • Beginners looking to get into sport without joining a club • Competitive players who want fair, balanced matches and a real ranking • Organizers, coaches and clubs who want to run tournaments, groups and camps without spreadsheets • Newcomers to a city who want to meet people through sport WHY PAERO? Because sport is more fun when everything around it is simple. No endless group chats, no spreadsheets, no guessing skill levels — just you, your game, and a community that fits. To keep the ranking fair for everyone, you complete a short self-assessment before your first ranked match in a sport. And when you bring someone without an account, the match deliberately runs unrated — visible to everyone involved. Free, fair, and right in your city.

About

SquashKlub

Read full description

SquashKlub is a social clubhouse for Berlin squash players. It finds you a good, reliable opponent at your level, from beginner to advanced. Berlin has courts and Berlin has players. What it doesn't have is a decent way for the two to find each other. One game means endless messages in a group chat, your number handed to forty strangers, and difficult to tell who actually plays at your level. PLAY PEOPLE AT YOUR LEVEL Every player shows their level, the times they like to play, how far away they are and reliability. No more games that are far too fast or too slow. Filter the list down to who fits, then send the invite. SEE WHO IS FREE BEFORE YOU BOOK The week at a glance, with a count of how many players are around each day. Set your availability once and it keeps working in the background. SMART MATCH Open games are ranked by how well they fit you: your level, your times, how far you would travel and how reliably people show up. EVERY COURT IN BERLIN All the city's squash venues on one map, with court counts, opening times and a link straight to the venue's own booking page. WOMEN'S ONLY GAMES Any game can be set as women's only. Social through to competitive, every level, beginners especially welcome. SCORE THE MATCHDAY Log a session set by set as you play. Standings update live and the podium settles who topped the day. Results feed a Berlin league table across the season. SOMEONE DROPS OUT? The court is booked and your partner cancels. One tap sends the slot to everyone free at that hour and close enough to get there, ranked by who is nearest and skill level. YOUR DETAILS STAY PRIVATE No phone numbers, no WhatsApp groups. You talk inside the app until you decide otherwise. Built in Berlin by squash lovers who got tired of searching for partners and seeing empty courts.
