Tom Chapman
Club Captain - Manchester Padel Club
"PaddlePals has revolutionised how our club operates. We've got over 150 members now tracking their games, and the group leaderboard feature has created such brilliant competition. The ability to sync data across our entire friend group means everyone stays updated automatically. The forum has been fantastic for organising club nights and tournaments. What started as a simple score tracker has become the heart of our paddle community!"

"The friend sync feature is absolutely brilliant! My group of 8 paddle friends all use PaddlePals, and we love how our games automatically update everyone's stats. The forum helped me find new players in my area when I moved to East London. Already arranged 3 games this week!"

"Before PaddlePals we had bookings in one system and card payments in another. Now it’s all one CRM – courts, members, messaging and Stripe payments. Cashflow’s cleaner and I’m not chasing people for bank transfers anymore."
