Testimonials

Players Are
Already Talking

"I played for two years and never tracked anything. Dink of Fame changed that. Now I actually see my improvement and I am motivated to keep going."

Allison B.
3.5 rated player, Chicago

"The badge system is genius. I earned Hot Streak last month and my whole group started trash talking about who would get it next. This is exactly what rec pickleball needed."

Derek M.
Open play regular, Austin TX

"I refer everyone I play with. The network feature alone is worth it. Seeing all my opponents in one place and tracking who I need a rematch with is just fun."
