Pickleball is exploding. The tools haven't kept up.

League nights still run on spreadsheets. Subs still blow up schedules. And directors still spend more time explaining "why" than running the league.

Join a small group of clubs and organizers helping us refine the first tools.

We're players, coaches, and league directors who got tired of clipboard chaos — so we started building the tools we wish existed. Focused on UX that's as satisfying as an around-the-post winner.

We're building tools that solve the real, messy problems — the ones that don't show up in product demos.

No clipboards. No spreadsheet gymnastics. Just systems that hold up when league night gets complicated.

The gap we see

Most software focuses on player-facing work: registration, payments, and communication. But the hardest problems happen behind the scenes — where fairness and logistics collide.

That's where things break. That's what we're fixing.
What actually breaks
  • Fair scheduling (especially doubles)
  • Skill balance and sit-out fairness
  • Last-minute subs and partial attendance
  • Repeat partners/opponents and complaints
  • "Why did I sit again?" conversations

Not a replacement. A missing piece.

Your existing systems can keep doing what they do best. Around The Post focuses on scheduling logic, fairness, and real-world edge cases.

Your current systems

  • Sign-ups & registration
  • Payments
  • Member communication
  • Basic scheduling display

Around The Post

  • Scheduling logic for singles & doubles
  • Fairness constraints (sit-outs, repeats, balance)
  • Sub handling that doesn't break the night
  • Print/export schedules back into your workflow
Generate the schedule here. Share it wherever you already do.

A scheduling engine for real league nights

Built for directors. Designed to reduce chaos and complaints without adding more software overhead.

Fair schedules

Singles and doubles schedules that avoid repeat partners/opponents and keep play balanced.

Smart sit-outs

Even sit-outs, fewer "I sat twice" moments, and a night that feels defensible.

🔁

Sub handling

Add a sub without redoing everything. Partial rebuilds preserve the rest of the schedule.

🛡

Defensible decisions

When someone asks "why," you have structure and logic — not a personal explanation.

🖨

Print & share

Clean round-by-round output that's easy to post, print, or move into existing systems.

🧩

Less chaos

Less director stress, fewer complaints, and better league experiences at scale.

No player apps. No fluff. Just systems that hold up when things change.

If you've ever said "Let me rework the schedule…"

You're in the right place.

Around The Post is built for the people running the night — so you can spend less time defending schedules and more time delivering a great experience.

What this isn't
  • A social network
  • A rankings platform
  • A DUPR replacement
  • Another player app
It's infrastructure for pickleball operations.

Built quietly. Used seriously.

We're rolling these tools out with a small group of clubs and organizers as we refine them. If you run leagues and want fewer complaints, cleaner rosters, and less manual work — let's talk.

  • Fewer complaints
  • Cleaner rosters
  • Less manual work
