Find your hitting partner. Tennis and pickleball, sorted by level, near you, when you're free. Your old hitting partner ghosted you. Or moved. Or had a kid. Hitting Partner finds the next one — at your level, in your suburb, this week. WHY HITTING PARTNER • Match by level, not by luck — tell us you're a 3.5 and we stop showing the 4.5s who'll smash you and the 2.5s who'll bore you • Drop into a game that's already on — someone's missing a fourth on Saturday, you see it, tap RSVP, you're in • Find a coach without the back-and-forth — see the rate, the reviews, the next available slot, and message direct • Organise a social night without effort — post your court, level, and time, and the players come to you • Join a social night near you — browse open games tonight, this weekend, this month, filtered by sport and level • Get notified when a game is published near you — open games at your level within range push to your phone PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN Only your home suburb is visible to other users — never your live location, never your street address. Subscriptions are billed by Apple — we never see your card. Block and Report are one tap away on every profile, and we review reports promptly. Automated content moderation runs on every post and message before it's published. SIMPLE PRICING • Free to browse — see players, games, clinics, coaches, the community Q&A • Player Plus (A$6.99/month or A$59.99/year) — message any player, RSVP to clinics, request lessons from coaches, post open games. Cancel anytime. • Coach Pro (A$24.99/month or A$249.99/year) — everything in Plus, plus your public coach listing, unlimited clinics, lesson-request inbox. You keep 100% of every dollar — we take no commission. EVERY NEW ACCOUNT GETS 6 MONTHS OF PLAYER PLUS FREE. Just sign up — no code, no scarcity. FOR COACHES Other platforms take 15–30% of every lesson. Hitting Partner takes nothing. One flat monthly fee. Your prices, your payment method, your relationship with the player.
