Aggressively improving

by Will | Organizer

I’ve used several apps to arrange pickleball times and Pickleheads is certainly the best one. It already has everything most would need to find courts and easily join or schedule public or private sessions. But uniquely, the Pickleheads team actively stays in contact with the organizers on the platform to elicit improvement suggestions, smooth rough edges, and generally ensure that this will remain the go-to app.

Scary helpful!

by Ben | Beginner player

This app does so many things correctly, it’s almost scary how helpful it is. I’ve recently gotten into the game and have already used it several times to help find pickleball courts near me, determine when I can go to play on my own with friends, or attend a class or group session. I especially appreciate being able to see when the court might be booked – everything is so organized!
