CourtCall

Why This is an Opportunity

Pickup sports coordination is a universal frustration that group chats handle terribly, and the pickleball boom alone means there's a massive growing audience. The build is clean and fun — real-time RSVP states, countdown to quorum, and email notifications.

Key Pain Points

  • The group chat where 12 people say 'maybe' and nobody commits until 30 minutes before
  • Showing up to the court and only 3 people came because coordination fell apart
  • One person always gets stuck being the 'organizer' manually counting heads every week
  • New people can't easily join the pickup group because it's all buried in a private iMessage thread

Original Discovery

Pickup basketball, tennis, and pickleball players waste so much time in group chats trying to figure out who's in for tomorrow's game. CourtCall is a dead-simple RSVP tool for recurring pickup games — create a session, set the minimum players needed, share the link, and people tap in or out. Once you hit quorum, everyone gets notified that the game is ON. No more 47-message group chat threads.
