Bainbridge

About this app

Are you a pickleball player who sometimes struggles with deciding who serves first? This app is here to help! According to pickleball tradition, the first server is the player facing Bainbridge Island, Washington in the US — where pickleball was born in 1965. Let this app do the work for you by quickly determining the direction of Bainbridge Island from your location, so you can focus on enjoying the game. Happy dinking! NEW! The app now includes a little warm-up game for you to play while you wait for your turn on the court! Improve your rating and play against an entire community of pickleballers (who may or may not be based on real people!)
