Organizing a pickup game is harder than it should be. Coordinating schedules, managing a roster, dealing with last-minute dropouts, tracking who actually showed up — it adds up. PitchPulse handles all of it. Create a session, set your requirements, and let players register, get reminded, and check in directly from their phone. Fitness Tracking Connect your watch and every session becomes tracked fitness — distance covered, time on the pitch, calories burned, and your top sprint speed. Watch your weekly and monthly trends, chase all-time personal bests, and get Pulse AI insights on how you're progressing. Your health data stays yours and is never shared without your consent. Reliability Score Every player builds a Reliability Score based on their real attendance history — on-time check-ins, late arrivals, late cancellations, and no-shows all factor in. Organizers can require a minimum score to register, which means fewer empty spots on game day. Awards & Player Ratings After each session, players vote on standouts across eight award categories: Player of the Match, Best Finisher, Best Passer, Best Dribbler, Best Defender, Best Goalie, Best Referee (banter), and Best Bottler (banter). Those results feed into each player's rating card — built from community votes, award history, and an initial skill assessment. Your card reflects how you actually play, rated by the people who've been on the pitch with you. Groups & Leaderboards Groups give your regular crew a home. Every group has its own session history, member leaderboard, and attendance streak tracker. There's also a global leaderboard ranking all players across the platform. Social Features Follow other players, share your session activity, and message teammates directly. Push notifications keep everyone in the loop on registrations, cancellations, waitlist promotions, and awards. PitchPulse is for the players who keep showing up — and the organizers who make it happen. PitchPulse+ is an optional subscription that unlocks full fitness trends, all-time history, and Pulse AI insights.
