PickleMatch connects singles for pickleball dates. The app that helps you: • find people near you who also play • match based on skill level and where you play • turn that match into an actual game The first date is already planned, and it's pickleball. Time, place, and even doubles partners can be coordinated in the app. We launched in October on iOS and Android. Today we have 700+ active profiles, 1,500 people on the waitlist. People are already meeting every week.

@dr_simon_wallace I quite agree, but as I'm criminally addicted to pickleball, I too am biased lol. That being said, there's strong research about how one of the key ingredients to building trust is repeat interactions over time and hobbies/activities are a great organic way to build that.
Fascinating approach. I'm not single, but if I was I would much rather consider partners I already have something in common with. And as a Pickleball junkie, we might agree that it can become a little more than a "something."
Also, what a great first date.

@caseycapshaw 100% and, we also have a feature where you can do on a "double date" with someone you're paired with for those that already have significant others!

I think if more apps (dating ones) were including common sports activities, it would be pretty cool because:
at least one hobby you have in common
you are doing something good for your body/health
you can see the reaction of the other side when loses the match, so you can see the behaviour in his/her pure nature (I know some people who take defeat tragically. :D)
Also, love how you found parallel between sport and copywriting "Match"

@busmark_w_nika Yess!! I totally agree, especially with point number 3. There's a lot of research about what builds trust, and one of the biggest factors is repeated interaction over time. That's why hobbies make great foundations for new relationships :)
Amazing concept! Other dating apps really need to catch up.

Such an awesome product! Y'all are nailing the pickleball scene, Would love to see this expand into more of a general "hobby match" app to help people make more connections through activities! Like SweatPals but better
