How to Activate Your New Club in PC

Most clubs in Pickleball Clubs (PC) are auto-approved and live as soon as you submit the club creation form — you can already start creating events. This guide walks you through finishing the recommended setup: confirming your visibility settings in Club Admin and adding any managers who'll help run the club.

Before You Begin

Log in and access Club Admin

  1. Go to Pickleball.com and log in.
  2. Click your name in the upper right corner.
  3. Select Manage from the dropdown menu.
  4. Click Organizations.
  5. Your club will appear in the Organizations block. Click it to open Club Admin.

Configure club settings

  1. From Club Admin, open your club's settings.
  2. Confirm Show to Public is enabled so your club appears to players browsing Pickleball.com.
  3. Enable Show on Search so your club surfaces in search results.
  4. Verify your club name, address, and other key details are correct.
Recommended

Show to Public and Show on Search must both be enabled for your club to be discoverable. If either is off, players browsing or searching for clubs in your area won't see it.

Add managers

If other staff members will help manage the club, add them as managers now.

  1. In Club Admin, click +Add New Manager.
  2. Search by first and last name. The person must have a Pickleball.com account to be added.
  3. Confirm you've selected the correct person by checking their email and phone number.
  4. Assign their permissions level. Note that only one person can be set as the Primary Manager.
  5. Save.

Your visibility settings and managers are set — your club is ready to add members and create play!

Frequently Asked Questions

My club isn't showing up in search — what should I check?

Go back to Club Admin and check that Show to Public and Show on Search are both enabled in your club settings. Also confirm your address is set correctly — players searching by location won't find your club if the address is missing or incorrect.

Can I have more than one Primary Manager?

No. There can only be one Primary Manager per club. All other managers can be assigned different permission levels based on what they need to access.

I can't find the manager I want to add — why?

The person must have an existing Pickleball.com account before you can add them. Ask them to create a free account at Pickleball.com first, then search for them in Club Admin.
