Never Miss a Game Again: Introducing Play! on the Padel LK App

Finding a fourth for padel shouldn't be harder than the match itself. Between busy schedules, last-minute cancellations, and trying to track down players at your level, organising a game can eat up more time than actually playing one. That's exactly why we built Play! — our open matches feature, now live on the Padel LK app.

What is Play!?

Play! turns the Padel LK app into a live matchmaking hub for our club. You can open a match, browse and join matches other members have already started, arrange games with your regular group chat, or simply see what your friends are up to on court — all from your phone.

Whether you're two players short for a friendly or looking to slot into a game that's already forming, Play! puts every open match at the club right in front of you.

How it works

Open a match, your way. When you create a match on Play!, you decide who can join. Set your preferred skill level, gender mix, or match category, and the app will surface your game to the right players — no more messaging around the club hoping someone's free.

Join in one tap. Browsing open matches is just as easy. See who's already signed up, check the level and format, and join, pay, and confirm your spot in a single tap. No phone calls, no chasing payments after the fact.

Solve the "can't make it" problem. We've all been there — someone drops out an hour before the game and suddenly you're down a player. With Play!, you can share your match link straight to WhatsApp, email, or wherever your group chats live, so a replacement can join, pay, and be on court before you've even finished stretching. You choose whether a match is open to anyone or invite-only, so you stay in control of who fills the gap.

Keep an eye on your circle. Play! also lets you see matches your friends have open, making it easier to jump into a game with people you already know — perfect for those days when you just want a hit without the admin.

Sort it in your group chat. Prefer to play with the same crew every week? You don't have to make every match public. Play! also works within your group chats, so you can organise, confirm, and pay for matches with your regular group just as easily as opening one up to the wider club.

Why it's a game-changer for our members

Play! is built to give players:

• A faster way to find games that match their level and preferences
• A simple fix for last-minute no-shows and cancellations
