Play free. Film great content.
The Pickleland Creator Crew is a small, hand-picked group of Austin creators. You get a free membership to Austin's #1 indoor pickleball club, and we give you a set, a crowd and our audience. In return, you make reels at Pickleland and collab with us.
Limited spots each season. Every application is reviewed by a real person.

One reel from our courts. Yours could be next.
More than a free membership.
Free court time is where it starts. The rest is what grows your channel.
Free membership
Play at Pickleland on us for as long as you're in the Crew. Open play, socials and court time, 9 climate-controlled courts, no Texas heat.
We grow your audience
We post your reels as collabs on @picklelandatx and reshare them to our Stories, so our 350K+ monthly viewers see your content, not only your followers.
A set built for content
Bright indoor courts, a lively crowd and staff who'll help you pull off trick shots, challenges and skits. We'll help you find quieter court time when you need a clean shot.
Access to events
Get a first look at our themed socials, leagues and tournaments. Those are ready-made content days with hundreds of players.
Get featured
Standout creators get a shout-out on pickleland.com, in our newsletter and on screens around the club.
A creator crew
Meet the other creators in the program, collab with each other and play together. It's a real network, not a mailing list.
A simple trade.
You're here to play and make things you're proud of. What we ask in return each month:
You don't need to be a pro.
We care more about the quality of your videos than your follower count or DUPR rating. Beginners documenting their first year of pickleball make some of the best content there is.
Four steps to the Crew.
Fill out the form below with your handles, your best reels and one video idea.
We watch your content and reach out if it's a fit. Spots are limited each season.
Come in for a tour and a first session. We activate your membership and plan your first reel together.
Play, film and post. Membership renews each season for creators who keep showing up.

Takes about 3 minutes. The more we can see of your work, the better.
Good questions.
How many followers do I need?
There's no minimum. We look at how good your videos are and how engaged your audience is, and a small account with great videos beats a big one with weak ones.
Do I have to be good at pickleball?
No. Some of the best content comes from people learning the game on camera. If you've never played, try a free intro session first.
How long does the partnership last?
The Crew runs in seasons, and creators who keep posting and showing up get renewed for the next one. Either side can end the partnership at any time, no hard feelings.
What happens if I miss a month?
Life happens, so just tell us. If the reels stop for a while, we'll free up the spot for another creator.
Who owns the content?
You do. We ask for permission to repost and share the content you film at Pickleland across our channels.
Can I bring friends to film with me?
Yes. Guests pay the normal guest fee, and the more people in the video, the better it usually is.
I'm a brand, not a creator.
