DropBall: Play Padel
Find Matches. Play. Compete.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
DropBall is the padel court booking app that brings players together, making it much easier and more organized to find matches, grow your community, create tournaments, and improve your game.
Play your way. Join open matches or create your own — rated or just for fun. Choose whether a game affects your rating or is simply a friendly match.
Hot court deals. Get discounted bookings from partner clubs. When clubs have last-minute court availability, DropBall users receive exclusive offers — so you can play more while spending less.
Real rating system. Track your progress with the DropBall in-app rating system (0–7 scale), designed to reflect your actual playing level.
Find your people. Search for players by skill level and interests. Add friends, chat privately or in groups, and build your own padel community. DropBall is where the Ukrainian padel community comes together.
Groups and community events. Create groups with friends or club members. Organize your own non-rated tournaments, coordinate training sessions, and stay connected between matches.
Never miss a match. Get notified when registration opens, when your next match is scheduled, and when your rating updates after each tournament.
DropBall is a free padel app available to download now. Play anywhere, compete at any level — from beginner to pro — and grow with a friendly community.

• Organizers can edit a tournament on the fly: name, description, cover, place, courts and player count; replace or remove players, add guests and name the courts.
• Finish a tournament early when time runs out: played results count, the podium and community points work as usual.
• Team Mexicano: players sit in pair slots. Join alone and the organizer pairs you up. Set the number of rounds when creating it.
• Team tournament rosters are shown as pair cards, so it's clear who plays with whom.
• The court count follows the number of players, and changing players or courts now asks for confirmation.
• Match results are shown as a court card with the score by sets and both pairs — and you can share the same card.
• The app asks for location again if you postponed it earlier, so club distances show up.
• The distance to the club appears straight away.** Previously, ‘Clubs nearby’ would often be displayed without the distance until you refreshed the page by swiping down. Now the distance is updated automatically as soon as your phone knows where you are. For the distance to be displayed, the app needs geolocation permission: Settings → DropBall → Geolocation → ‘Whilst using’.
• Bug fixes and improvements.
