Anyone who has joined an open play knows the two questions that come before the first serve. Is the venue what it says it is, and does the host actually have a court? Onda Fit and Reclub are teaming up to answer both.
Onda Fit, the Philippines-based booking and payment platform for sports courts and fitness facilities, is now the first venue verification partner worldwide for Reclub, the community sports app. The partnership took effect on October 23, 2026, and covers pickleball venues and open plays across the country.
What changes for players
Qualifying venues listed on Reclub can now carry a verified badge, which shows that their information has been reviewed through Onda Fit. The badge appears on the venue’s profile, along with a note naming Onda Fit as the partner behind it.
Hosts get a check too. When a host creates a meet backed by an active Onda Fit booking, the meet receives its own verified badge. The check links the host, venue, courts, and session time to a confirmed booking, so players know the game has a place to happen before they show up with paddles in hand.

Discovery now works across both platforms. Reclub open-play listings appear on Onda Fit, where players can browse sessions near them and tap through to the matching meet on Reclub to join. Onda Fit shows you the game, and Reclub is where you sign up for it.
What it means for venues
Verified profiles make venues easier to find on Reclub, and the cross-platform listings give them more routes to players. Onda Fit venues can also run local featured placements that put their courts in front of nearby players within a chosen radius. In the Philippines, a venue can reach an estimated 20,000 players for ₱1,700 a week.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to the community across the Philippines by giving players greater confidence in booking verified courts while helping venues gain more visibility and discoverability,” says Patricia Loren, CEO of Onda Fit Corp.

The partnership also marks the start of the Reclub Developer Partner Program, which launched in October 2026 with Onda Fit as its first partner. Reclub says its community has more than 2 million players, including over 500,000 active in the last 30 days in the Philippines alone. The company is rolling out partner categories step by step, covering areas such as venue management, in-meet engagement, data and reporting, and verification, and developers can join the waitlist to submit their ideas.
