For this weeks’ inquiry post, I am going to be talking about different apps that you can download for pickleball. The categories of apps I will be talking about will be training apps, community engagement apps, and performance tracking apps.

Training App:

  1. Pickleball Drill app features multiple drills for many different skill levels. There are drills for people who want to practice by themselves or with a partner. The app includes video demonstrations that can be done at home or at a pickleball court. The Pickleball Drill app is free and it has so much information. You can also check out their TikTok page to see what they are all about or if you want to do any drills without downloading the app! Also check out the screen recording I did of the app!

Community Engagement Apps:

  1. Pickleball Play is an app designed to connect players to courts, events, and even clubs. It is a free app which gives you options to purchase more features. You have an option to allow the app, Pickleball Pay, to use your location so that it can use that information to find the closest pickleball courts, players, and clubs near you.
  2. Pickle Heads is an app that is the official USA court and game finder. Therefore, if you are going on a trip in the USA and want to get some exercise, I recommend having this app to go find yourself a court or even a game to join! The Features of Pickle Heads is that you can discover local games and recruit players nearby, and you can organize playtimes and communicate with others on the app. The app also has information about courts and games in Canada! Pickle Heads also includes performance tracking features which generates matchups, and collects the scores.

Both of these apps are awesome platforms to create new friends and to get to know your community around you. I screen recorded what these apps look like but, I am not getting into depth with them due to privacy reasons! Remember, they are both free so definitely check them out!

Performance Tracking Apps:

  1. Unforced Pickleball App provides data designed for pickleball players. It records and uploads games, tracks various stats such as the winner of the match, errors, serve depth, dinks, and it offers insight tailored to different skill levels. This app is free with optional in-app purchases for additional features and more analyses. Check out the screen recording video to see all of the apps features!
  2. Pickleball Stat App focuses more on accuracy percentages and it analyzes your game. This app is free and it is for more of a serious type of pickleball player. On this app, you can create a game and keep score all in the same app. Check out the screen recording to get a better visual of the app!

There are so many other pickleball apps, but these are ones that I have found that are free and that I think would benefit your pickleball game. Using apps for pickleball allows you to connect to your community, have organized games, makes it easier to find someone that is at the same level as you, gives you so many resources on how you can improve your game, and it enhances enjoyment and your competitiveness.
