About this app

Social racket sport, without the group chat.

GoRacquet is where you find a game. Badminton, pickleball, tennis, squash and padel — real sessions, at real courts, run by people near you. Pick one, take a place, turn up and play.

FOR PLAYERS
• Browse sessions in the area you choose — drag a pin and set a radius, or pick your suburb and say how far you will travel
• See what matters before you commit: how many places are left, what it costs, which skill levels it suits, how far away it is and what time it finishes
• Take a place in one tap. If it is full, you join the waitlist and move up automatically the moment someone drops out — no need to keep checking
• Message the organiser before you commit. Ask whether it suits a beginner,
where to park, or say you are running late
• Rate the organiser afterwards, so the next player knows what they are walking into
• Travelling? Switch on "Search everywhere" to see sessions anywhere in the
country, nearest to you first

FOR ORGANISERS
• Publish a session in a minute — venue, courts, capacity, cost, date, duration
and the levels it suits
• Search an address to drop the venue pin, or place it by hand for the courts
behind the community hall that no map knows about
• Watch places fill, with a waitlist that promotes the next player by itself
• Check people in on the day, and see who turned up and who did not
• Answer players' questions in the app, without handing out your phone number
• Edit a session when plans change, or cancel it and everyone who signed up is told

BUILT AROUND PRIVACY, NOT AROUND YOUR DATA

• Most apps that find things near you want your location. This one asks where you want to play instead.
• We never ask for your home address, and we do not track where you are. You choose a search point on a map, or a suburb, and that is all we hold
• Who is attending a session is not public. Other players see how many people are coming and a row of initials — not your name, your profile or your level
• Your phone number is private. It reaches the organiser of a session only once you hold a place in it, and only for as long as you hold it. Cancel, and it is withdrawn
• Messages are between two people. There is no group chat, so nothing you write is shown to the rest of the session
• Block or report anyone, from anywhere in the app. Blocking works immediately and the other person is never told

WHAT GORACQUET IS NOT
• We list sessions. We do not run them. Organisers are independent people, not our staff, and the agreement to play is between you and them. Use your judgement about which sessions to attend, and tell us if something is wrong — we review
