The Kitchen App

 

I had the pleasure of meeting the Canton, OH based entrepreneurs/husband & wife duo, who built and launched a 100% dedicated social network app for Pickleball players - The Kitchen App

 

They aim to be the go-to app for the everyday Pickleballer.

 

Some of the main features include:

  • Social media 100% dedicated to pickleball

    • Connect with pickleballers, share pickleball content, create custom groups

  • Log Matches

    • single matches or best of 3,

    • tag courts,

    • add guest players (who are not on the app)

  • Locate + add courts (over 18,000+ available)

  • Schedule / join playtimes + events

 

They also offer 101 videos & pickleball guides.

 

This is not a sponsored post but rather a highlight of local entrepreneurs who are looking to support and grow the Pickleball community in Ohio and across the US, which we can always get behind and hope you can to!

Beginner Guide - Updates

We have updated our beginner guide, specifically the recommended places to play for beginners with the most recent days and times of play to the best of our knowledge.

 

We created this guide as a resource for those that are just getting into Pickleball and need a place to start. Please feel free to share with your friends or family who are interested in learning the game!

 

If you think we are missing a location that would benefit a beginner, please contact us right away so we can add it.

 

Also don't forget to check out the full list of PLACES TO PLAY for more info on each location across Northeast Ohio.
