Pickup: Play & Host Sports

Pickup. App Features

Game Creation
Any user can create a game and set key parameters to match their preferences. They can choose the sport, skill level of players (beginner, amateur, or professional), location, duration, and the number of participants needed. Hosts can also decide whether the game is public or private and set an entry fee if applicable. This allows players to organize games tailored to their needs and attract the right participants.

Game Discovery & Participation
Users can easily browse and join games through the dashboard, with powerful filters to refine their search by location, time, sport type, skill level, distance, date, and available player slots. Once a user joins a game, it appears in both their notification page and personal profile, ensuring they can track their participation. The profile also displays both past and upcoming games, allowing users to keep a clear history of their activity.

Interactive Map for Game Discovery
The map feature provides a visual way to discover nearby games, with active matches pinned to their locations. Instead of scrolling through lists, users can quickly identify games based on their proximity, making it easy to find and join matches in familiar or convenient areas.

Community Building
Beyond individual games, Pickup allows users to create and join sports communities. These communities serve as hubs where like-minded players can connect, schedule regular games, and form lasting friendships. Joining a community makes it easier to find consistent playing opportunities with people who share similar interests and skill levels.

Community Management & Features
Users who create communities have full control over settings, similar to game creation. They can define the type of sport, preferred skill level, and location, as well as decide whether the community is public or private. Admins have the ability to manage members, make announcements, and adjust community settings to keep things organized and engaging.

Community Engagement
Within each community, members can post on a shared feed, create games, and interact with others. Posting is not restricted to admins, meaning any member can contribute and engage with the group. Users also have the option to make their posts exclusive to the community, ensuring that only members can view and interact with them. To further encourage participation, posts support
