Pickleball groups deserve a pickleball app.
PickleBuddy helps players, organizers, and clubs run pickleball sessions without the chaos — real headcounts, waitlists that fill themselves, and announcements your group will actually see.
Built by players who got tired of apps that don't understand pickleball.
Download free on iOS and Android.
Your group chat was never built for this.
Running a pickleball group shouldn't require a second job. But somewhere between the group chat and the last-minute dropouts, the logistics take over.

01/NOISE
Critical updates get buried.
A cancellation lands in the same feed as paddle recommendations and Tuesday’s debate. Players mute the noise — then miss the one message that mattered.
02/MAYBES
“Maybe” isn’t a headcount.
You need to know how many courts to book, not how many people are thinking about it. A thumbs-up emoji isn’t a commitment.
03/REPEAT
Every week starts from scratch.
Same group. Same courts. Same time. But you’re copy-pasting the same message and chasing the same RSVPs — every single week.
PICKLEBUDDY
Sarah dropped out. Alex auto-confirmed from the waitlist.
Tuesday Open Play is still full. No action needed.
That's what it looks like when the app understands the sport.
One tool. Built for how you actually play.
PHASE 01·HUDDLE
Pickleball session management that actually understands the sport.
One place for your group's pickleball sessions, attendance, and communication. No more scattered chats, forgotten RSVPs, or organizers doing mental math on headcounts.
Binary RSVP — Yes or no. No “maybe.” Organizers get a real headcount, every time.
Auto-fill waitlists — When someone drops, the next player gets a timed confirmation window. No chasing.
Recurring sessions — Set it once. Tuesday Open Play shows up every week without you lifting a finger.
Announcements that land — Cancellations and updates are separate from chat. They don’t get buried.
Announcements that don't get buried.
Session cancelled? Everyone gets a push notification — not a chat message lost under 40 replies. The stuff that matters stays out of the noise.
Separate from chat — Cancellations and updates live in their own feed — not buried under 40 replies.
Urgency levels — URGENT, WARNING, and INFO so players know what actually needs their attention.
Push that lands — Everyone gets the notification. Not a message nobody opened.
Tools for whoever runs the group.
Organizers get real control — roles, member management, and moderation built in. Keep your group running smoothly without the drama.
Three clear roles — Admin, Co-Admin, and Player. Everyone knows who runs the group.
Mute or remove — Keep sessions on track without a side argument breaking out in the chat.
Your number stays private — Players join the group without ever sharing a phone number.
Huddle is just the first match.

Questions, answered.
What is PickleBuddy?
PickleBuddy is a free pickleball app for organizing sessions, RSVPs, waitlists, and group announcements. Players, organizers, and clubs use it to run recurring pickleball sessions without the group-chat chaos. It's available on iOS and Android.
Is PickleBuddy free?
Yes. PickleBuddy is free to download on the App Store and Google Play.
What makes PickleBuddy better than a group chat for organizing pickleball?
Group chats weren't built for running sessions. PickleBuddy gives you a real headcount with yes-or-no RSVPs (no "maybe"), waitlists that fill themselves when someone drops, announcements that live separately from chat so cancellations never get buried, and recurring sessions you set once.
How do waitlists work in PickleBuddy?
When a session fills up, extra players join the waitlist automatically. If someone drops out, the next player in line gets a timed confirmation window to claim the spot — no chasing, no reposting in chat.
Where is PickleBuddy available?
PickleBuddy is available worldwide on iOS and Android, including the United States, Canada, India, the UAE, Australia, and Vietnam.
Can I set up recurring sessions like weekly open play?
Yes. Set a session once — like Tuesday Open Play — and it shows up every week automatically, with RSVPs and the waitlist reset for each new date.
See you on the court.
PickleBuddy is live on iOS and Android. Download the app and run your next session without the chaos.
