The first date
Your first date is a game at the park.
Low pressure
No awkward dinner. You already know what you're doing for an hour.
Free
City park courts don't need a reservation or a check.
Built-in conversation
The rally gives you something to talk about besides small talk.
Real energy
You see their sportsmanship, not just a photo.
How a rally starts
01
Make your profile
Photos, DUPR if you want it, and when you like to play. Home courts stay private.
02
Dink players you like
A dink is a like. No thanks stays private. They are never told.
03
Let's Rally
A mutual dink is a match. That's your cue to invite them to play.
04
Play a game at the park
Pick a public court, a time, and singles or doubles. The game is the date.
Two different scores
DUPR is your skill. Player rating is the date.
Link your own DUPR account when partner access is connected, or type the rating from your DUPR profile. Separately, members rate a profile from 2.0 to 5.0 — anonymous, one vote each, public after five ratings. Nobody can hide it. It is not a DUPR score.
DUPR skill

Example manual entry. Verified only after DUPR confirms it is yours.

Before you serve
Is this only for singles?
Yes. Date A Player is a dating site for single pickleball players, plus the mixed-doubles partner search that comes with that.
What is a dink?
A like. Side out is a pass. A mutual dink opens a rally.
Do you pull other people from DUPR?
No. You can link only your own DUPR id, and only once DUPR partner access is connected. Until then, type your own rating.
Can I hide my player rating?
No. After five ratings the average stays on your profile. Raters are anonymous, and extreme or spammy scores are filtered out of the average.
