How Pickleball Players Are Building Communities Online with Main Court Social

Pickleball has always been a sport built on connection. Players meet on the court, swap stories between games, and build friendships faster than in almost any other sport. But until recently, there was no real place online to keep that same energy going. Everything felt scattered across group chats, unrelated social feeds, and apps that were never designed for pickleball.

Main Court Social changes that. It is the first pickleball social feed made entirely for the sport. Every post is related to pickleball!!. The entire experience brings the sport and the community together in one place.This is how players everywhere are building their pickleball community online with Main Court & the social feed.

The Feed That Brings Players Closer

The Main Court Social feed is the heart of the experience. It shows real updates from the people you actually play with and follow! Whether that be auto-generated posts or milestones (more on that below), highlights from their play or updates on their journey, the feed shows you a real look into your friends, people you follow and their pickleball experiences. 

Posting Your Pickleball Life

Players can post photos or videos from any of their events. They can post to a match or event, and all their friends & followers & match participants can see that (if the creator chooses so). They can also make a post directly to their friends, followers or a group they’re in, that is unrelated to a match or event. 

Players can also request to collab with Main Court so the post reaches the entire network. This helps creators, companies, clubs, and players share their content with the broader pickleball world inside the app.These posts create a real pickleball story that lives where the sport actually happens.

Milestones & Auto-Generated Posts

Main Court celebrates progress with automatic milestones. Examples include creating a certain amount of matches, a skill level increase or a certain number of positive community ratings. These milestones appear in the feed and give the community a chance to support and celebrate each other. It adds friendly competition and recognition for the effort players put into the sport.

While the aforementioned posts are auto-generated there are other event-focused auto-generated posts. If you friend creates a new tournament, social event or match, you’ll see it in their feed. If one of your friends is playing in a tournament, social event or open play, you’ll see it! When events that fit your skill level, gender and age are ending registration soon, you’ll know. This further enhances the pickleball community, keeps you up-to-date on events without it feeling overwhelming. 

Friends and the Power of the Network

As players add friends, the feed becomes more personal and more active. The network reveals who is playing where, who is improving, and what events people are joining. Suggested people to follow also help players discover other people in the app that are active and posting. The result is a stronger pickleball network that feels connected and accessible.

Groups That Bring Communities Together

Public groups support entire communities.
