Built for pickleball organizers

Everything you need to run a great pickleball group.

Skill-separated sessions that hold

Run your 2.5 open play and your 4.0+ competitive session as separate events under one club. Members see the skill requirement before they sign up — no more wrong-level players showing up.

Fill your 4th spot in minutes

Post an open slot and notify your waitlist instantly. Members confirm from email — no app, no friction, no group chat chaos.

Waitlist that runs itself

Cap your courts, open a waitlist. When someone cancels, the next person is notified automatically. Your courts stay full without you doing a thing.

Skill levels that actually mean something

Set a skill requirement on every session — from beginner open play to 4.0+ competitive. Members self-sort correctly, and your competitive sessions stay competitive.

2.0–2.5 · Beginner

New to pickleball. Learning scoring, court position, and basic shots. Open play with others at the same stage.

3.0–3.5 · Intermediate

Getting consistent. Rallies are longer. Starting to dink, understand third-shot options, and think tactically.

4.0–4.5 · Advanced

Competitive club player. Strong dink game, understands stacking and kitchen strategy. Plays tournaments.

5.0+ · Elite

Tournament or pro-adjacent play. Fast hands, complete game, competitive mindset. Needs DUPR-matched opponents.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best app for managing a pickleball club?

Start Time is built for pickleball organizers — manage open play sessions, separate skill levels (from 2.5 to 5.0+), run waitlists automatically, and let members RSVP from email without downloading anything.

How do I keep skill levels separated in open play?

Set a skill requirement on each session when you create it. Members see the level before they sign up, so your 4.0+ competitive session stays competitive and your beginner open play stays welcoming.

How do I fill a spot when someone cancels last minute?

Start Time notifies your waitlist the moment someone cancels. The first person to confirm takes the spot — you don't have to do anything.

Do my members need to download an app to RSVP?

No. Members confirm or cancel with one click from a regular email. No app download, no account creation required.

Can I manage multiple skill-level groups under one club?

Yes. You can run separate sessions for each level — casual 2.5–3.0, intermediate 3.5, and competitive 4.0+ — all under one club with one login.
