PodPlay, The Dink Launch 'ClipTHAT' to Feature Top Amateur Highlights Across the US

New York, NY — The Dink and PodPlay have teamed up to launch ClipTHAT, a new content series that showcases the best plays, wildest rallies, and most entertaining moments from everyday players across the country.

This innovative series will spotlight the best moments from recreational pickleball players across the nation.

ClipTHAT showcases extraordinary plays, thrilling rallies, and unforgettable moments submitted by players from PodPlay-equipped facilities. Participants at these venues can replay their best points and submit standout clips for a chance to be featured.

The selected highlights will be showcased on both The Dink's and PodPlay's social media channels, celebrating the vibrant community and the sport's unsung heroes.

"We're excited to bring this collaboration to life and provide a platform for the incredible talent within the pickleball community. ClipTHAT will not only showcase our technology but also give a spotlight to the players who represent the sport we all love and the fun they are having playing it." — Max Kogler, CEO of PodPlay.

Players at PodPlay-equipped facilities can now submit their best moments using in-venue replay tech. The top clips will be featured across The Dink and PodPlay’s social media, giving everyday players a chance to shine.

"Take PodPlay's tech and growing distribution. Add in The Dink's reach. Combine that with the rising level of amateur pickleball. And you have the perfect opportunity to spotlight the everyday player in a totally unique way." — Thomas Shields, Founder & CEO of The Dink.
