Court Hub is a club management platform that lets pickleball players register and pay directly from their phones while their profiles, including DUPR ratings, follow them to any club or tournament. The software eliminates manual polls, spreadsheets, and payment chasing by automating session waitlists, collecting fees upfront via Stripe Connect, and pushing match results to DUPR. It offers tiered subscription plans starting at CHF 5 per month and also supports tennis, padel, badminton, squash, basketball, and volleyball.

Problem
Pickleball club managers waste significant time coordinating sessions, collecting payments, and tracking player ratings manually through group chats and spreadsheets. This fragmented approach leads to no-shows, unpaid bookings, repeated data entry, and compliance errors when running rated play.
Solution
Court Hub is a club management platform that moves the full player lifecycle online. Players register and pay on their phones, and their profile — including name, contact, and DUPR rating — carries over to any club or tournament using the platform. The system handles session sign-ups, automatic waitlists for no-shows, and payment capture at registration via Stripe Connect. For rated play, Court Hub checks player eligibility at sign-up based on DUPR and lets organizers push Game Day and tournament results directly to DUPR. Managers access a central dashboard and stop running the club from chats and spreadsheets.
Target Audience
Primary customers are pickleball club managers and tournament organizers who want to automate registrations, payments, and rated play, as well as managers of other court-based sports clubs seeking the same workflow.
