OUR STORY

Dinking & Dashing: Our Pickleball Journey

Rec pickleball isn’t about scores, schedules, or stats. It’s the joy, the chaos, and the “you had to be there” moments that keep us hooked.

The problem? Until now, there was nowhere to keep it all. Games blurred together. Names faded. Stories disappeared. The personality of rec pickleball was getting lost.

We built Dink & Dash to change that ...a playful, personality-packed app for the culture of pickleball, not just the logistics.

Inside the app, you can:

 
  • Talk trash with Dash, your AI sidekick
  • Stamp every court in your Pickle Passport
  • Chronicle the chaos in your Dink Diary
  • Get real-time rules, tips, and on-court advice
  • Keep the vibe alive — long after the last point

How it started

Two sisters, two paddles, and the idea that every trip counts. Work trip? Vacation? Nine-hour road trip? Didn’t matter ... the paddles came with us.

Sometimes we hit alone. Other times we’d walk up to strangers with a “Hey, mind if we join?” Minutes later, we’d be swapping stories like old friends.

We played in rain and shine, in Crocs (Carrie swears by them), on backroads and in big cities. We kept mental notes on every court, every character, every “did that really happen?” moment... like Marty’s curveball that made us stop mid-game.

Eventually, we set a goal: play in all 50 states, stamping each court like a passport. And that’s when it clicked.

What if there was an app to track all of this?

And just like that, Dink & Dash was born.

From two sisters dashing to new courts and dinking with new friends, to an app for every rec player who loves the connection more than the competition.

We’re here for the guy who shows up with four paddles but no shoes. For the woman rocking a tutu at tournaments. For the group chat that never dies.

The fun app in your pickleball toolkit. The community vibe in your pocket. Your pickleball life- captured, remembered, and shared with style.
