Creating your first league on paddlx

Ready to launch your league but intimidated by the setup process? This guide provides a simple, step-by-step walkthrough to get your first league created on the paddlX platform in under 10 minutes. Let's get started!

From your paddlX dashboard, click the prominent "Create New League" button. This will launch our intuitive setup wizard, which will guide you through the essential details.

This is the core information players will see on your public league page. Be clear and concise.

• League Name: Make it memorable! E.g., 'The PaddlX Fall Classic 2025'.
• League Format: Select from our presets: 'Fixed-Partner', 'Round Robin', 'Ladder League', etc.
• Location: Add the court address so players can easily find it.
• Dates: Set the start and end dates for your season.
• Description: Briefly describe the league. Mention the skill level, what's included, and the general vibe.

This is where you save hours of administrative work. Connect your Stripe account to accept secure online payments directly. You don't have to chase players for cash or Venmo payments ever again.

• Registration Fee: Set the price per player or per team.
• Team Size: Define the maximum number of teams or players.
• Registration Dates: Set the open and close dates for registration.
• Waiver: Upload or paste your liability waiver that players must accept.

Once you review your details, hit "Publish." PaddlX will automatically generate a professional, shareable landing page for your league. Now you can copy the link and share it across your social media channels, email lists, and community groups. Congratulations, your league is officially open for business!
