Run your pickleball club without the spreadsheet chaos
Court reservations, round-robins, open-play sign-ups, dues, and member chat — one app your whole club actually uses, on the phone and the web.
Free to start. No credit card required. We'll set you up with a sample club so you can explore before inviting anyone.
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the country, and most clubs are still holding it together with a shared spreadsheet, a Facebook group, and a Venmo request. core.club is pickleball club software that replaces all of that with one place to book courts, organize play, collect dues, and keep members in the loop.
What running a pickleball club looks like today
Built for how your club actually runs
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 without the shared-spreadsheet guesswork.
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 so nobody is chasing cash or reconciling Venmo — 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.
One club, on the phone and the web
Members get a fast native app on iOS and Android; admins run everything from the same account on the web. No separate tools, no exports, no re-keying data between systems.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for a pickleball club?+
The best pickleball club software handles the whole club in one place — court reservations, open play and round-robins, memberships and dues, and member communication — instead of stitching together a booking tool, a payment app, and a Facebook group. core.club does all of it on iOS, Android, and web, and is free to start with just 2.5% as your club grows.
Can members book pickleball courts from their phone?+
Yes. Members reserve courts from the core.club app or the web, and the system blocks double-bookings automatically. You can set open-play windows, per-court durations, and reservation limits so both indoor and outdoor courts stay organized.
How do I organize round-robins and open play?+
Post an open-play session or round-robin and members RSVP in a tap. Set a cap and a waitlist so full sessions automatically pull in the next player, and message everyone who signed up if plans change — no more buried Facebook comments or group texts.
How much does core.club cost for a pickleball club?+
core.club is free to run. As your club takes payments — dues, clinic fees, tournament registrations — core.club charges 2.5%, capped at $250/month per location. There are no per-member fees and no setup cost. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
Can I collect membership dues and clinic fees online?+
Yes. Sell annual or monthly memberships and charge for clinics, tournaments, and events directly in the app. Payments and renewals are handled for you, so nobody is chasing Venmo requests or reconciling cash by hand.
Is there a mobile app for players?+
core.club is a native app on both iOS and Android plus a full web experience, so players can book courts, RSVP to open play, pay dues, and chat from wherever they are — and admins can run the club from the same account.
