About Pickleballer

Pickleballer is a pickleball company, and pickleball is the only sport we do. We are building one home for the game in the Philippines, where players, courts, coaches and organisers finally meet in the same place. Right now the sport is scattered. Games are organised across hundreds of Messenger and Viber groups, every court takes bookings its own way, and a new player who wants a game has to know the right person in the right group chat. Courts miss out too: the player who searches "pickleball court near BGC" at 10pm and has never heard of them books somewhere else, or doesn't play at all. For players, Pickleballer is where you find a game, not just a court. Search more than 300 venues across 99 cities, from Makati and BGC to Quezon City, Cebu, Davao and Cagayan de Oro. See real prices, indoor or covered courts, and what is free tonight. Join open play filtered by level, so a beginner isn't thrown in with advanced players. Find a coach near you, and follow leagues and clubs that match your level and schedule. For venues, it is free, and it stays that way where it matters. There is no monthly fee, no setup cost and no commission, and we will never take a cut of a venue's court fee. Players pay the venue directly. Owners get a booking calendar that stops double bookings, their customer list in one place, and numbers on which hours sit empty. Nothing they use today has to change: they keep their Facebook page, their Viber group and any other listing, and they can stop whenever they like. We visit venues in person, set their page up for them, and our own developers adjust the system to how each venue runs. We are an SEO and marketing agency by trade, so getting courts found on Google is the part we are best at. Organisers and coaches run their part of the sport here too. Organisers publish open play and leagues without chasing forty people on Messenger, and coaches list their rates and fill their schedule. Every one of them brings their own players along. The bigger the sport gets, the busier every court gets. That is the whole idea. Pickleballer is free for players.
