Pickup game and community finder for players, subs and newcomers
Find a game near you, so you play every week instead of searching.
For players, subs and people new in town who are tired of dead group chats and events nobody turns up to. Gametime Hero shows you games, drop-ins and communities near you, with the skill level and the headcount before you go.
Free for players. No app to install.

Finding a game should not be harder than playing one.
If you have ever turned up to an empty court, you know every one of these.
Events where nobody turns up
You RSVP, you drive across town, and the park is empty. Nobody updated the listing.
Chasing an invite to the group chat
The good games are organized in private group chats, and you do not know anyone to ask.
No-shows that kill the game
Six people said yes, three came, and the game never started.
Wrong level, wrong vibe
The "casual" game turned out to be a college scrimmage, or the other way round.
Drop-ins you hear about a day late
There was an open spot last night, and you found out this morning.
New in town, no way in
You moved, you play, and you have no idea where your sport lives here.
From searching to belonging in three steps
See what is on near you
Browse events, places, communities and people on Discover.
Claim your spot
RSVP from your browser. If the organizer charges an entry fee, you see it before you join.
Show up and play
You know the time, the place and who else is going before you leave the house.
What you get as a player
Everything here is free for players.
Games and events near you
Pickup games, classes, clinics and socials that are open to join, in one place.
The skill level before you go
Organizers set a skill level on the event, so you know what you are walking into.
Waitlists when a game is full
Join the waitlist, and take the spot when the organizer moves you up.
Recurring events you can count on
A weekly game repeats on its own, and you RSVP for the dates you can make.
Communities worth belonging to
Join a club, a crew or a league, chat with the group and see what is on next.
Available to sub
Mark yourself as available to sub in your settings, so a team that is short can find you.
Whether you are...
New in town
You just moved and do not know anyone yet. Find a pickup game this week and start there.
A weekend regular
You play when you can. Join games that are already set up instead of organizing one.
Traveling
Visiting another city? See what is on there before you pack your shoes.
A sub looking for a team
Say you are available, and say what level you play at.
One account does the rest of the work too.
Each of these is part of the same Gametime Hero account, so nothing has to be copied from one tool to the next.

Organizers who run on Gametime Hero
These organizers are talking about Gametime Hero as a whole, which they run their communities on.
“When my events stopped working on Wix, Gametime Hero had me up and running in less than 48 hours.”
Juliana MasciFounder, Tool School Co. ChicagoSwitched from WixSwitched in less than 48 hours
Read the case study“We used to spend more time managing tools than managing our community. Now we spend that time on what actually matters: getting women outside and building something they want to come back to.”
Donna Kent & Mindi JensonShe Ascends Visit sheascends.org“I'm a bar owner, not a software person, and I shouldn't have to be. What's changed with Gametime Hero in such a short time is worth celebrating. They even added our Watch Me! theme song to our site. Now I spend my time on what we're building: a room where women's sports fans feel like they belong.”
Jax DienerOwner, Watch Me! Sports Bar Visit watchmesportsbar.com“I believe our integration of Gametime Hero will make it significantly easier and less time-consuming for our logistics volunteers, while providing a far better experience for our players. After all… WE JUST WANT TO PLAY!”

Is it free for players?
Yes. Finding games, joining communities and RSVPing are free. If an organizer charges an entry fee for an event, you see the price before you join.
How do I show my skill level?
Organizers set a skill level on each event. For pickleball you can also connect your DUPR rating to your profile, which verifies your level for events with restrictions.
Is it only for sports?
No. Run clubs, fitness and yoga classes, hikes, dance, book clubs and gaming nights are on it too. If people gather for it, you can find it here.
How do I move my existing group over?
There is no one-click import yet, but moving over is quick: recreate your community, bulk-invite your members by email or share a join link, and post your events. We help groups make the switch all the time.
Get free setup helpDo I need to download an app?
No. Gametime Hero runs in the browser on a phone or a computer, and the people you invite open your link the same way. There is no mobile app to install yet; one is in the works.
Is there a contract?
No contracts. The Free plan never expires, and a paid plan can be cancelled anytime with one click, with no penalties.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Every paid plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it is not the right fit, we will refund you, no questions asked.
Can I export my data and take it with me?
Yes. Your data is always yours to export, and if you cancel we will help you export all of it first.
Built by community people, for community people
We built Gametime Hero because we needed it too.
We’ve seen the problem from both sides — as participants looking for places to belong, and as organizers doing the work to bring people together.
