Built by players. Loved by clubs.
Our Story
Club Paddle Tap was born in Plymouth, Michigan, created by the owners of Plymouth Pickleball Club. We wanted to bring MLP style team leagues to our community, the same format that makes pro pickleball so fun to watch, but we could not find software that truly understood how these leagues work from scheduling to scoring to standings.
So we built it ourselves. Then we kept going.
What began as an internal tool quickly turned into a complete toolkit for clubs, including MLP style leagues, points based Club Paddle Tap leagues, round robin play, mobile scoring, live standings, team management, and simple share pages that players actually use.
Why we exist
We believe clubs grow when the experience feels smooth, fair, and fun for players, and when owners can spend more time building community and less time managing logistics. That is the mission behind every feature we ship: to grow the game of pickleball by celebrating joy, connection, and community.

Grow the game of pickleball by celebrating what makes it special
Joy, connection, and community.
We champion good sportsmanship, inclusive play, and shared laughter on and off the court. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, Club Paddle Tap is your high-five at the net, your welcome to the club, and your reminder that it's all about having fun together.
Our Core Values
These principles guide everything we do—from product decisions to player interactions.
Why we built Club Paddle Tap
Pickleball gave us something we didn't expect
Community, connection, and a reason to show up. We wanted to build tools that protect that — not tools that get in its way.
The tools didn't match the culture
Most pickleball software is built for administrators, not players. We believed the experience of running a club should feel as welcoming as the game itself.
Players deserved better
Paying $5 to register for a local round robin. No record of your games. No sense that you belong to something. We believed every player deserved a home.
Clubs deserved software that understood their mission
The directors who unlock courts early and stay late are not running logistics — they are building community. We built for them.
The paddle tap is worth protecting
That gesture — the walk to the net, the tap, the unspoken respect — is what makes this sport unlike anything else. Everything we build is in service of keeping it that way.
