Patch Retention is a customer retention and revenue automation platform whose racquet sports solution is headlined: AI, automation, SMS, and email for hundreds of pickleball, padel, and tennis clubs. The platform claims to power more than 1,500 relationship-driven clubs, venues, and attractions.

For pickleball operators, the pitch is filling open play sessions, promoting tournaments, and growing the club community through AI-written email campaigns, SMS with high open rates, automated player journeys, churn prediction, and segmentation by preferred racquet sport, all integrated into the club’s booking system.

Two named pickleball chains anchor the evidence: Dill Dinkers, whose operations director credits the platform with selling $8,000 of gift cards in a week, and PickleRage, cited at 22 times average return on investment per location. Check-in and waiver management and review generation round out the facility features.

Sales run through demo bookings on the site.
