Built for league organisers
Pickleball league management software for clubs
Next-Up runs your league night for you. Players check in on their phones, the app pairs partners, assigns courts the moment one frees up and posts scores to live standings. No spreadsheets, no whiteboard, no waiting around.
How a league night runs on Next-Up
- 1
Players check in
Everyone checks in on their phone as they arrive, so organisers see who is ready to play without a clipboard.
- 2
Partners pair up
Players send and accept partner requests in the app to form doubles teams for the night.
- 3
Courts fill themselves
When the organiser starts the night, Next-Up assigns matches to every open court, giving priority to teams with the fewest games.
- 4
Scores post, the next match starts
Teams submit the score, the court frees up and the next match in the queue is assigned automatically.
What organisers get
Digital check-in
Live attendance for the night, synced to every phone in real time.
Fair auto-matching
Teams with fewer games go first, repeat pairings are avoided and new teams join at the current minimum so nobody waits all night.
Real-time court board
Every player sees which court they are on and who is up next. Nothing to announce over the noise.
Validated scoring
Scores are checked as they are entered: first to 15, win by two, no ties.
Standings and stats
Wins, losses, points and averages update the moment a score is submitted, per league and per player.
Organiser controls
Set league days, court counts and labels, start and end nights, and manage memberships from the app.
Proven on real league nights
Next-Up runs Northcliff Eagles at Northcliff Country Club and GPC Pickleball at German Country Club in Johannesburg, South Africa.
