Courts booked from the parking lot
Members see every court and open-play slot in real time and reserve in a tap. Tap an open slot and the booking drawer slides up, so double-bookings are impossible and the whole club knows who is playing when.
Built for how a pickleball club actually runs
Every part of the club in one app your members already want to open, on iOS, Android, and the web.
Court reservations that prevent double-bookings
Members book courts from their phone or the web, and core.club blocks conflicts automatically. Set open-play windows, reservation limits, and per-court durations so your indoor and outdoor courts fill up cleanly, with no double-bookings.
Round-robins, ladders & open play
Post open-play sessions and round-robins members can RSVP to in a tap, with caps and waitlists so a full session fills the next player in automatically. Run ongoing ladders and track results without a clipboard.
Tournaments & clinics
Schedule beginner clinics, dinking workshops, and tournaments with registration built in. Take fees at sign-up, cap seats, and message everyone who registered when the plan changes.
Memberships & dues
Sell annual or monthly memberships and collect dues through the app. core.club handles renewals and payments automatically, and clubs keep their revenue, minus a low 2.5% as you grow.
Member directory with skill ratings
A real member directory with DUPR-style skill levels so players find partners at their level. New members onboard themselves, no more maintaining the roster by hand.
Announcements & club chat
Post club news everyone actually sees, and give members group and direct chat in the same app. Court closures, weather calls, and last-minute sub requests reach players where they already are.
Frequently asked questions
Can members book courts and see who is already playing?
Yes. Members reserve courts from their phone or the web, see who has each slot, and the app prevents double-bookings. You control the open-play windows, court durations, and how far ahead people can book.
How do open play and round-robins actually work?
Post a session and members RSVP in a tap. Set a cap and a waitlist so a full session pulls in the next player automatically, and message everyone who signed up if the time or court changes.
How do dues and clinic fees get collected?
Members pay in the app when they join or register for a clinic, and renewals and receipts happen on their own. The end of the month takes care of itself.
Do members need to be tech-savvy to use it?
No. It is a normal app on iPhone and Android, and everything works in a browser too. Most members book their first court within a minute of joining.
What does core.club cost for a pickleball club?
It is free to run. When your club takes payments, core.club keeps 2.5%, capped at $250 a month per location. There are no per-member fees and no setup cost.
