Tennis and Pickleball made easy.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
In The Know is a community-driven tennis and pickleball app designed to make it easier to connect, schedule, and play. Users can find players at their skill level, organize matches, join local groups, schedule courts, coordinate leagues and events, and stay connected with their local racquet sports community — all in one place.
Whether you’re looking for a casual hitting partner, competitive match play, lessons with a coach, or organized group activities, In The Know helps simplify the process and reduce the friction of getting on the court.

In The Know was built specifically for racquet sports communities.

Absolutely. In The Know includes tools specifically designed for clubs, organizers, coordinators, coaches, and community leaders. Organizations can use the platform to manage groups, organize leagues and events, coordinate court scheduling, and streamline communication with players and members.
The app also helps clubs and organizers fill tennis and pickleball drills more efficiently by pushing notifications out to their target audience and allowing users to join available sessions directly through the platform.

For tennis players, In The Know uses the NTRP rating system. For pickleball players, the app uses DUPR ratings. Users enter their rating during profile setup to help create better matches and more balanced games with players of similar skill levels. If you don’t know your current level, there’s no harm in guessing — you can always edit it later in the profile edit screen! Just use the guidance on the NTRP/DUPR rating drop down menu to take your best guess at your rating.
