Pickup. App Features
Game Creation

Any user can create a game and set key parameters to match their preferences. They can choose the sport, skill level of players (beginner, amateur, or professional), location, duration, and the number of participants needed.
Hosts can also decide whether the game is public or private and set an entry fee if applicable. This allows players to organize games tailored to their needs and attract the right participants.

Game Discovery & Participation
Users can easily browse and join games through the dashboard, with powerful filters to refine their search by location, time, sport type, skill level, distance, date, and available player slots. Once a user joins a game, it appears in both their notification page and personal profile, ensuring they can track their participation. The profile also displays both past and upcoming games, allowing users to keep a clear history of their activity.
Interactive Map for Game Discovery
The map feature provides a visual way to discover nearby games, with active matches pinned to their locations.
Instead of scrolling through lists, users can quickly identify games based on their proximity, making it easy to find and join matches in familiar or convenient areas.

Community Building
Beyond individual games, Pickup allows users to create and join sports communities. These communities serve as hubs where like-minded players can connect, schedule regular games, and form lasting friendships. Joining a community makes it easier to find consistent playing opportunities with people who share similar interests and skill levels.

Community Management & Features
Users who create communities have full control over settings, similar to game creation. They can define the type of sport, preferred skill level, and location, as well as decide whether the community is public or private. Admins have the ability to manage members, make announcements, and adjust community settings to keep things organized and engaging.

Community Engagement
Within each community, members can post on a shared feed, create games, and interact with others. Posting is not restricted to admins, meaning any member can contribute and engage with the group. Users also have the option to make their posts exclusive to the community, ensuring that only members can view and interact with them. To further encourage participation, posts support likes and comments, allowing users to discuss and engage with each other.

Direct Messaging & Group Chats
Communication is seamless with the built-in direct messaging feature. Users can message individual players, friends, or group chats within their communities. Whether coordinating game details or simply chatting with teammates, this feature makes it easy to stay connected.

User Profiles & Activity Tracking
Each user has a profile page where all relevant activity is stored and displayed. Their profile includes personal details, a history of past and upcoming games, and a list of the communities they have joined. Other users can view profiles to find potential teammates or opponents based on their interests and play history. This ensures that every player has a presence within the Pickup network, making it easier to connect with others.

With Pickup, sports lovers can seamlessly organize games, find players, and build lasting sports communities, all in one place.
