📌
We built Courtside because finding and booking a good court should feel simple. Players should be able to see what is free, compare prices, book instantly and join social games without calling venues or waiting for replies. We are starting in the Middle East with padel, badminton and pickleball, and we are building the network venue by venue.

How does Courtside handle last-minute cancellations or no-shows for social games, and is there a fee for venues to list on the platform?

@mervekiret Great question. For social games, joins and payments are handled in the app so cancellations can follow clear booking rules instead of messy chat coordination. We are also building stronger no-show, report and player reliability flows as the community grows. For venues, we are onboarding partners directly during rollout and keeping setup lightweight, with no upfront self-serve listing fee.

would love to see a built-in chat or comments section for each venue so players can ask about parking, shoe rentals, or court conditions before booking. that small touch would save a lot of back-and-forth with the staff and make the whole experience feel more social, especially for newcomers trying padel or pickleball for the first time.

@atakandeftsjbn Love this idea. We already want each venue page to make practical details obvious before booking, things like parking, rentals, showers and court conditions. A lightweight venue Q&A or comments layer could fit really well, especially for newcomers who want confidence before their first game.

Does the app show which courts are indoor versus outdoor, and can you filter by that when searching for a slot?

@evval588200 Yes. Courtside is designed to show whether a venue is indoor or outdoor, plus key amenities, and we are making those filters more useful as more venues come online. The goal is exactly that: choose your sport, date and setting, then book without calling around.

The live availability feature is a really thoughtful touch, especially since most court booking apps still make you call or message the venue to check open slots.

@yarenaralp Thank you. That pain point is exactly why we started with live availability. Players should not have to call, wait for WhatsApp replies or guess which slots are actually free. We want booking a court to feel as immediate as choosing a time and confirming it.
