PickleBoard is a free directory of pickleball courts, clubs, and events. It currently covers 2,568 courts across 573 cities in the Philippines, and it grows one country at a time.
Players use it to find somewhere to play. Court owners use it to be found. Neither side pays.
Pickleball has grown faster than the information about it. A court opens in a converted badminton hall or on a repainted basketball slab, and for months the only people who know are already in the group chat. Ask where to play in a city you don't live in and you get a screenshot of a Facebook post from last year, a number that's been disconnected, and a pin dropped in the wrong neighbourhood.
That problem doesn't stop at a border. The game arrives, courts appear, and nobody is keeping the list.
We started in the Philippines because the gap was easiest to see there — new courts opening every week, and nowhere reliable to look them up. What we built for that market is the same directory we're now extending outward.
Every court is checked before it's published. We match each one against live map and place data and confirm it exists at the address given. Anything we can't confirm stays out rather than padding a number, and most of what we screen doesn't make it in.
Owners can then take over their own listing. Claiming a court means proving you run it: documents we review by hand, plus a one-time code sent to the contact already published on that listing. Once a claim is approved, the owner keeps hours, pricing, and photos current directly.
If something is wrong, every court page has a report link, and it reaches a person.
Each court page carries what you actually need before you drive there:
Around the courts sit clubs, open play, events, tournaments, leagues, player rankings, and a marketplace for buying and selling gear — all scoped to your country.
The rules and scoring reference, learn to play guide, and equipment guide sit outside the country sections. The rules don't change at a border.
Listing is free and always has been. Submit your court if it isn't here yet, or claim it if it is.
We don't take a commission, and there's no booking layer between you and the player. The contact details on your page are yours, and enquiries go straight to you. If you want more than a listing, that's what partnerships are for.
Advertising and sponsored placements, labelled “Sponsored” wherever they appear. A sponsorship buys a spot on the page. It doesn't buy a better position in the directory, and it never decides whether a court is listed at all. Players pay nothing and hit no paywall.
Adding a country isn't a switch we flip. It means collecting and verifying every court in it first, which is why the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom are staged rather than open — each one waiting on its own verified court data.
We're a small team. If a listing is out of date, use the report link on the court page. For anything else — a correction, a partnership, or a country you think we should cover next — write to [email protected].
