One database, your way

Everything in Community is free for players. Use the whole local database to find new games and partners, or keep it to your own tight circle, your call on every game. Down the road, vetted clubs and coaches will be able to list their offerings for a fee, but playing, connecting, and organizing stays free.

FIND & HOST GAMES

Pickup, run exactly the way you want.

You are in control of who plays, how it counts, and what gets played. Open it to the whole community or keep it to your crew.

You control who can join Implemented

Every game you host lets you decide exactly who gets in: open to everyone, gated by a rating range, limited to a saved group, or invite-only by name. The app actually enforces it, players only see and join games they qualify for.

  • Open to all, for growing the community. Implemented
  • Rating minimum or range, for balanced, competitive play. Implemented
  • Specific group or invite-only, for your tight circle. Implemented
  • Always-invite and never-invite lists for fine control. Implemented

Five eligibility modes, enforced at join time. Live today.

Set the format and the stakes Beta

Pick how the game is played, and whether the night counts. Choose 2s, 3s, or 4s, set the vibe, and run a King or Queen of the Beach tournament with an auto-generated round schedule.

  • Formats: 2s, 3s, 4s, or combo. Implemented
  • King/Queen of the Beach tournaments with AI round scheduling. Implemented
  • Fun vs ranked: scored games already feed ratings; a host opt-in toggle is coming. Beta
  • Coed / mens / womens game settings. Building
  • Match and bracket-tournament play types. Building

Scored pickup already counts toward your shared rating today. Per-game host control over counting is on the plan.

Slots, waitlist, and smart filling Beta

Set how many you need and cap how many can come. When a game fills, extras join a real waiting list with their position. And eligibility can widen automatically as game time nears, so more players qualify if you need them.

  • Minimum and maximum players per game. Implemented
  • Waiting list with position when a game is full. Implemented
  • Time-based widening: who qualifies grows by the clock as start nears. Beta
  • Auto-cancel if the minimum is not met. Building
  • Auto-invite the newly eligible when the pool widens. Building

Widening already controls who qualifies by the clock; automatic outbound invites and auto-cancel are the next phase.

CONNECT

Find partners. Talk it out. Train together.

The connective tissue of the local scene, finding the right partner, keeping the chatter to the people in the game, and organizing more than just matches.

Tournament partner finder Building

Think of it as the matchmaker for volleyball: find a tournament partner near your skill and schedule, see who is looking, and pair up. A training-partner finder works the same way for practice reps.

  • Match by skill and schedule for tournaments. Building
  • Training-partner finder for practice. Building

On the build plan. The shared rating that powers the matching already exists today.

Event-only chat Building

Keep the conversation where it belongs: only the people invited to or RSVPed for a game can see and post in that game's thread. No noise, no strangers, just the players showing up.

  • Messages scoped to the event, visible only to that game's players. Building
  • Coordinate the night without group texts or apps. Building

Training events Building

Beyond games, set up practice sessions and drills as their own kind of event, so the community can organize reps, not just matches.

  • Practice and drill sessions as a distinct event type. Building

A unified session model (games, practices, drills) is on the plan.

YOUR LEVEL & YOUR GROUP

One profile. One rating. Your circle.

A single profile and rating that follows you across every league, season, and pickup night, and the freedom to play the whole community or just your people.

Your profile and shared rating Implemented

Make a profile, get a starting rating, and watch one number follow you everywhere you play in the local scene. It is the common yardstick that makes fair, balanced games possible.

  • One rating across league and pickup, not a separate score per app. Implemented
  • Leaderboard and game history in your dashboard. Implemented
  • Seed from a TruVolley number if you have one. Implemented

About this tour. Screens are CourtSense renderings in neutral demo colors. Each feature is labeled to show exactly where it stands: Implemented means built and working in the app today, Beta means built with limits we are still refining, and Building means it is on the build plan. Community is free for players; a future paid layer will let vetted clubs and coaches list their offerings, while playing, connecting, and organizing stays free. We label this way on purpose, so you always know what is real today and what is coming.
