Everywhere to play. Nobody playing.

Your neighbourhood is full of empty parks, fields and courts — not because nobody wants a game, but because nobody knows who else is free. There is no way to find the handful of people a few streets over with a free hour and nothing to do with it. Pick-Up is that missing step.

How it works

Two ways to get a game.

Plan ahead

Join a game at a spot near you

  1. A basketball spot open on the map, with the next few days and how many people are going on each
    01

    Tap a pin, pick a day

    Every park, field and court nearby has a pin on the map. Tap one to see the next seven days and how many people are going each day.

  2. A 5:00 PM basketball game with 2 people going, a Join button and a Directions button
    02

    Pick a time and tap Join

    Choose a time, see how many people are in, and join. Directions open straight in Google Maps or Apple Maps.

  3. The Games tab listing upcoming soccer, basketball and tennis games
    03

    Keep track of your games

    Everything you join lands in the Games tab, so you always know where you are playing next.

Get matched with players nearby

  1. Choosing a sport for a search: pickleball singles, pickleball doubles or basketball
    01

    Pick your sport and range

    Tap search, choose a sport, then set how far you will travel — anywhere from 1 to 100 km.

  2. Confirming a 24-hour basketball check-in within 1 km
    02

    Check in once, then close the app

    Your check-in lasts 24 hours and never renews on its own. We notify you when someone matches. Your location is never shown to other players.

  3. A group chat between two matched basketball players
    03

    Plan it in a group chat

    Everyone who matches drops into a shared chat for 48 hours. Sort out a time and a place, then go play.

No account. Seriously.

No email, no password, no profile picture, no follower count. Pick a nickname if you want one, or stay Anonymous. Turn off the sports you don't play and they disappear from the map.

We are not trying to build a social network — we are trying to get you outside.
