🇺🇸 Pickleheads is now the official court and game finder of USA Pickleball

Hi there,

HUGE news to share…

🇺🇸 Pickleheads is now the official court and game finder of USA Pickleball!

We have some big plans together to make finding your next game easier than ever 🙂

Read on to see what’s coming 👇

📣 What’s Changing

USA Pickleball’s 2,200 ambassadors will onboard to Pickleheads to update court and game information.

With their input, the court and schedule information you see on Pickleheads will be more accurate than ever.

Pickleheads replaces Places2Play as USAP’s official court and game finder.

If you currently use Places2Play, be sure to migrate to Pickleheads for up-to-date information.

🇺🇸 Why we partnered with USA Pickleball

Our goal with this partnership is simple - to offer YOU, the player, the best tool for finding courts and games possible.

We’ve come a long way since we started. It took us over two years to get the most reliable information available.

And now with USAP’s help, we’ll create the one platform all players can rely on!
