Create your Pickleball group — freeBuilt 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 in one tap from the Start Time app or straight from email — 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 in one tap from the app or their email.
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.
How do members RSVP?
One tap in the Start Time app, or one click from the email invite — signups, waitlists, and reminders stay in sync either way.
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.
