The Complete TPS Club Manual

The entire app is organised into three areas, accessible from the bottom navigation bar:

The home screen shows the tagline "Learn, play, become a padel legend" and contains six tiles — shortcuts to the main features:

Below the tiles, the home screen shows a list of your upcoming booked matches. Tap any to open the match details.

   Set your best handChoose Right or Left. This is your dominant playing hand and helps organisers understand your natural style.
6. 6
   Set your preferred court positionChoose Forehand side (right side of the court) or Backhand side (left side). In padel the left side is typically more attacking; the right is more defensive. Organisers use this to balance pairs.
7. 7

Levels run from roughly 1.0 (complete beginner) to 7.0+ (professional). Most recreational club players fall between 2.5 and 4.5.

Certain clubs and facilities offer official level certification sessions through TPS. In a certification session, a qualified coach assesses your level in person and validates it on the platform.

• →
  What it does: Confirms your level has been "validated by a club or coach" — making your level more reliable from day one, without needing many competitive matches first.
• →
  Where to find them: Certification sessions appear as events in the Events section of the app. Look for events with "Level Assessment" or "Certification" in the title.
• →
  Who should get certified: New players who want accurate matchmaking immediately, or experienced players whose self-assessed level feels off.

When creating a match or event, you can set a level range (e.g. 2.9–6.1). This acts as a filter for who can join:

When you open the Community tab, you see two things:

• →
  Your communities — groups you've already joined, listed at the top.
• →
  Suggested communities — recommended based on clubs you play at, events you've joined, your activity level, and your location. Each community card shows its name, photo, description, and type (club, academy, social group, etc.).

The Explore screen also highlights upcoming events from all communities — you can discover and join events even without being a community member first.

Once inside a community, the main hub has six tabs. Together they cover everything that happens within the community:

The Rankings tab shows how members compare based on their match and event performance within this community:

• →
  Weekly — performance in the last 7 days. Resets each week.
• →
  Monthly — performance in the current calendar month.
• →
  All-Time — cumulative rankings since the community was created.

Rankings update automatically whenever a competitive match or event score is registered. You don't need to do anything to update them.

The Padel Society follows the cancellation and no-show policies defined by each individual club. TPS does not set universal cancellation rules — each club decides their own terms.

• →
  Cancellation terms are shown to players before they confirm a booking. Always read them.
• →
  Policies may include: specific cancellation deadlines, partial charges for late cancellations, or full charges with no refund after a deadline.
• →
  The final decision on charges and refunds always belongs to the club — TPS can facilitate communication but cannot override the club.
