Playbypoint, the leading club management and player experience platform for racquet sports, and National Pickleball League Australia (NPL), the premier operator and organizer of pickleball venues and competitions across Oceania, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the growth of racquet sports technology and infrastructure throughout Australia and New Zealand.

The partnership establishes Playbypoint as NPL’s exclusive club management platform across NPL’s rapidly expanding network of owned, equity-partnered, and licensed venues throughout Australia. Together, the organizations aim to make racquet sports more accessible across Australia by equipping clubs with modern, user-friendly technology that simplifies operations for venue owners while making it easier for players to book courts, connect with players, and engage with their local racquet sports communities.

“Australia represents one of the most exciting growth markets for racquet sports globally, and NPL has established itself as the clear leader in building premium experiences for players,” said Andres Robelo, CEO of Playbypoint. “This partnership allows us to support NPL’s vision of expanding access to pickleball as its core focus while driving racquet centres of excellence across the region. By providing technology that removes barriers for both club operators and players, we’re helping grow participation and strengthen racquet sports communities across Oceania.”

“Playbypoint’s platform aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing world-class experiences across every aspect of pickleball. As part of our commitment to pickleball is a commitment to growing the total pie of racquet sports in Australia, partnering with padel and tennis across venues and initiatives over the next few years,” said Ron Shell, Co-Founder of National Pickleball League Australia. “As we scale our venue network across Australia, we need a technology partner that can support our vision and experience on a single modern platform. Playbypoint’s focus on delivering exceptional technology and white label offering means our venues maintain their unique brands while delivering the seamless booking and payment experience players expect.”

NPL currently operates venues across Australia including flagship locations in Melbourne and expanding presence in Queensland, New South Wales, and beyond. The organization also runs Australia’s premier professional pickleball tour and is rapidly building Australia’s largest network of multi-sport racquet facilities to bring these sports to communities throughout the country.

Playbypoint serves more than 1,000 racquet sports facilities across 35+ countries, connecting over 2.5 million players annually. The platform provides comprehensive club management software, white-label mobile applications, integrated payment processing, and player engagement tools purpose-built for tennis, pickleball, padel, and squash facilities.
