Sparring sessions

Sparring is the lightweight way to organise a casual hit between players or two clubs, with scores and standings tracked.

Create a session

1Give the session a name and (optionally) name the two sides or clubs, a banner, and your courts.
2Add players one at a time — search a name to link their athlopadel account, type a name for a guest, or tap “+ Add me”. Players pair up two at a time.
3Choose fixed pairs, or let the app shuffle partners; set how many matches to play and the format.
4The draw divides the matches across your courts into rounds — one match per court per round, and nobody is double-booked in a round.

Enter each match’s score; the live side-vs-side tally updates as you go.
Choose how the winner is decided — games won or matches won — with the “Winner by” switch.
Per-player standings are tracked, and results lock once the first score is in so the draw stays fair.
Edit the session details (name, sides, date, venue, courts) right up until the first score — then they lock.

Tap Share to send the public live page; on a finished session the same menu offers Save image — a branded athlopadel result card saved straight to your phone’s photos.
Invite co-creators from the Share menu (by their account email) to help run the session — adding players, entering scores and the draw, all in parallel.
Played as a guest? On the finished result page a “Claim your games” prompt pulls that record into your account — you confirm it’s you first. (You won’t see it if you’re already a player in the session.)
