Free padel league management for clubs
Every padel league at your club, managed on one screen.
A league puts matches on your courts every week of the season and gives members a reason to come back. Members join, arrange their matches and confirm scores on their phones. Your staff see only what needs a person.
Running at 3 clubs this winter: 5 leagues and 182 players.

Your events in front of padel players near you
We are building a Near you screen in the Padeliga app and on padeliga.co.uk. Players will see open knockouts, Americanos and leagues at clubs near them, with the date and places left, and join in a few taps.
Listed for free
Clubs that run leagues on Padeliga list their open events at no extra cost.
New faces, not just members
Your knockout or Americano is shown to padel players near your club, not only the people already in your leagues.
You choose what is shown
Only the events you choose to open up are listed. Private leagues stay private.
Players choose too
Players only get alerts about events near them if they switch them on.
- Court bookings 56 from one league of 16 over 14 weeks. That is 4 matches a week, and every match is a court booking.
- Repeat visits 14 matches for every player in those 14 weeks, one a week, so the next is always waiting.
- Community 15 different partners each in a Social league of 16 over 15 weeks, a new one every matchday.
- Staff time 10 minutes a week of staff time once a league is running, by our estimate.
Worked out from how Padeliga draws a league of 16 players, one matchday a week. These are not measured results. Work out your own numbers.
What a league does for your club
Each point is how a league works, not a result we have measured.
Court bookings
Every league match is a court booking. A league of 16 is 4 matches a week, 56 over a 14 week season. Members book the court the way they already do: Padeliga does not book courts.
Repeat visits
Each matchday has a date to play by, and in a league of 16 every player has a match on every one, so there is always a next match waiting. Notifications remind them about their own matches.
Community
In a Social league nobody needs a partner to join, and the app draws a new one every matchday. In a league of 16, everyone partners all 15 of the others.
New players
Open leagues sit on a club board in the app with a level range and places left, and every league gets a QR poster. A beginners league gives new players a way in.
The next season
A season has a finish date, and the next one starts in one tap with the same players and divisions moved up and down. In Divisions, players say in the app if they are playing again.
Events to promote
A season can end on a finals night: a Knockout, a Champion of champions final or finals for the top of each division. That is an evening to put on the calendar and promote.
Matches spread across the week: each one has a date to play by, not a fixed slot, and the two pairs choose a time that suits them. Padeliga does not pick times, so it cannot promise to fill quiet courts.
What one league puts on your courts
Pick a style and move the sliders. The numbers follow the way the app draws a league, one matchday a week.
Less admin for your staff
Members run their own matches. Staff only step in when something needs a person: about 10 minutes a week once a league is running, by our estimate.
Members do it themselves
- Join from the poster. Scan the QR code or type the six character code, then a name and a PIN. No account and no training.
- Agree a time with the other pair in the app, and book the court the way they do now.
- Confirm each other’s scores. The table updates the moment both pairs agree.
- Get reminders about their own matches: the draw, a time to answer, a score to check, a match running late.
Your staff
- Set each league up once: the style, the dates, any entry fee and the poster.
- Answer what needs a person: an unpaid fee, a request for more time, a score two pairs cannot agree.
- Send an announcement that lands as a notification on every phone in the league.
- Start the next season in a few taps, with the same players and divisions moved up and down.
How a season runs at your club
From the first poster to the next season. The full organiser’s version, with templates, is how to run a padel league.
- Before the startStaff answer six quick questions or pick a style, then set the dates, a level range and any entry fee in the console, and print the QR poster. The league can go on the club board in the app.
- Sign upMembers scan the poster or tap Join on the board: a name and a PIN. Staff see who is in and who has paid.
- Start dateThe fixtures draw themselves and every player is told who they play first and by when.
- Every weekPairs agree a time, book the court the way they already do, and confirm each other’s scores. Staff answer what needs a person.
- End of seasonA final table or a finals night, then the next season in a few taps, with divisions moved up and down.
Leagues for every level, from beginners up
Your open leagues sit on a club board on members’ home screens, each with its level range, a Casual or Competitive tag, the start date, places left and any entry fee. Members tap Join and they are in. More in running a club padel programme.
- Ask for a Playtomic level when people join (optional), and seed divisions by it so the strongest start in Division 1.
- Keep apart: name two people who should not be drawn together, and the draw keeps them apart wherever it can.
The club console
Padel club software for league management, not court booking. Staff log in on a separate website with their work email, on a laptop, tablet or phone.
Every league on one screen
Players, matches played, what landed on time and what is overdue, with one Needs an answer list across the club.
Entry fees paid to the club
Set a fee and how to pay it: bank details, your own payment link or a note. Padeliga never takes payments.
Posters with a QR code
An A4 sign up poster for every league, with the join code printed large.
Exports
Players, fixtures, results and league health as spreadsheets for Excel or Google Sheets.
- A dashboard staff can arrange: court bookings, active and repeat players, agreed match times, staff actions waiting and entry fees outstanding. Each member of staff can show, hide and reorder the numbers.
- When matches are played: which days and times members pick, so you can see how league play spreads across the week.
- Getting started and Help inside the console: a step by step guide to the first league, with short videos, and answers you can search.
Five formats, including box leagues
Run as many side by side as your courts allow. Looking for padel box league software? That is the Box league, called Divisions inside the league: boxes of the size you choose, seeded by level if you like, and the top go up and the bottom go down. See Padeliga as a box league app or as a knockout app, how to run a padel box league, every format explained, or box league or ladder.
Classic
Fixed pairs, everyone plays everyone, one table for the season.
Social
The Americano league, over a season: a new partner every matchday, and a table per person.
Box league
Divisions, with Division 1 at the top: play everyone in yours, then the top go up and the bottom come down.
Champion of champions
Small leagues first, then the top two of each pair up for a knockout.
Knockout
Lose once and you are out. Good for a finals night.
Works alongside your booking system
Padeliga runs the league, not the courts, so there is nothing to connect and nothing to switch off. Members agree a time in the app and book the court the way they already do, in whichever booking system or app your club uses. On Playtomic already? See leagues on Playtomic, or alongside it.
- No integration to set up. Your booking system, prices and memberships stay exactly as they are.
- Exports for your spreadsheets: players, fixtures, results and league health for Excel or Google Sheets.
- Your own payment link for entry fees, or bank details, or pay at reception. Padeliga never takes payments.
- Your WhatsApp group can sit on the league as a Join button, and a match can open WhatsApp with the message written.
- Playtomic levels can be asked for at sign up to seed divisions. See using Playtomic levels.
Member data and GDPR

- Where it is kept
- In a hosted database in the EU (Ireland), backed up every six hours.
- What staff see
- Leagues, tables and fixtures. Never members’ phone numbers, on screen or in an export.
- Tracking
- None. No adverts, no analytics and no third party trackers.
- Leaving
- Members delete themselves from a league at any time, with nobody needing to approve it. Removal from the backups is on request.

Questions clubs ask
Do members need training?
No. They join from the poster with a code, a name and a PIN. Each match shows what to do next, and notifications tell them when something needs an answer.
How many court bookings does a league make?
Every league match is one court booking, made by your members the way they book now. A league of 16 players is 4 matches a week, so a 14 week season is 56 bookings. The calculator works it out for your numbers.
Will it fill our off-peak courts?
It does not choose times. Each match has a date to play by rather than a fixed slot, so the two pairs arrange it when they can both play, across the week. If you would like league matches at quieter times, say so in an announcement to the league.
How much staff time does it take?
Our estimate is about 10 minutes a week once a league is running: answering the Needs an answer list, marking entry fees paid and sending an announcement when there is news. Most of the work is at the start of a season.
Can we run box leagues?
Yes. Pick the Box league card, called Divisions inside the league: fixed pairs or a new partner every week, a division size, how many go up and down and how many rounds. Divisions can be seeded by Playtomic level, and the next season starts in one tap with the moves applied.
Can we run several leagues at once?
Yes. Run as many side by side as your courts allow, each with its own style, dates, level range and entry fee. Staff see every league on one screen, with one Needs an answer list across the club.
Does it work alongside Playtomic or our own booking app?
Yes. Padeliga does not connect to any booking system and does not need to: members agree a time in Padeliga and book the court in the system your club already uses. A league can also ask for members’ Playtomic level to seed divisions.
Can we run an Americano league?
Yes, over a season. The Social style is the Americano league: a new partner every matchday, drawn by the app, one table per person, and matches can be scored in points, one score a match. For a big group, run it in divisions of 4, 8 or 12 with a new partner every week. For a single night, Padeliga Events runs Americano and Mexicano events from the club console.
Can members play their matches whenever suits them?
Yes, in a Classic league, or a Social league that ends on the table, every match can be due on one finish date and played in any order, with reminders counting down to it. Knockouts keep a deadline a round, and box leagues a round at a time.
How long does it take to set up a league?
About ten minutes: six quick questions for a suggested format, or a style you pick, then the dates, any entry fee and the poster. The console has a Getting started guide with short videos for the first one.
Can we export our data?
Yes. Players, fixtures, results and league health export as spreadsheets for Excel or Google Sheets. Phone numbers are never in an export.
Does it replace our court booking system?
No. Padeliga does not book courts. Members agree a time in the app and book the way they do now, and the app records when and where they are playing.
How do entry fees work?
You set the fee and how to pay it, and the money goes straight to the club. Padeliga never takes payments. The console lists who has not paid yet.
What does Padeliga cost?
Nothing. Padeliga is free for clubs and for players: no trial, no contract and no card. We’ll set up your first league with you for free. Later we may add optional paid extras, such as collecting entry fees in the app, but running your leagues stays free.
How can it be free?
Running a league costs us very little, and we would rather every club used Padeliga than a few paid for it. Later we plan to earn from optional extras, such as taking entry fees in the app, never from charging clubs to run their leagues.
Where is member data kept, and who sees it?
In a database in the EU (Ireland). Members give a name, a PIN and a phone number only if the league asks. Staff can see phone numbers in the console, never in an export. No adverts, no tracking, and members can delete themselves at any time. Exactly what is stored.
Is there a chat?
No. A league can show a button to join its WhatsApp group, and if it collects phone numbers, one tap opens WhatsApp with the message already written. For news from the club, an announcement reaches every phone in the league.
What about members on Android?
iPhone members use the App Store app and Android members use the Google Play app. Both are free, with notifications.
Who do we contact for help?
Email hello@padeliga.co.uk and a person will reply.
