Integrate liability waivers with your Pickleball Management Software

Activity Messenger integrates seamlessly with your pickleball management platform, giving you the flexibility to collect waivers outside of the standard registration or membership process.

Digital Waivers for Events

For events such as tournaments, free introductory classes, and special training sessions that require unique waivers, participants no longer need to create accounts. They can simply scan a QR code and sign waivers right from their smartphone.

Waiver Management

Activity Messenger simplifies waiver management by providing instant updates on each player’s waiver status. This helps you reduce paperwork and ensure that all waivers are properly completed.

Replace SmartWaiver, WaiverForever and DocuSign

While there are many generic tools available, they are not designed specifically for the unique needs of pickleball clubs and organizations. Activity Messenger fills this gap, eliminating the need for multiple tools and streamlining the entire process.

Automated Waiver Reminders

Activity Messenger allows you to schedule email or text reminders for waiver completion. This means less last-minute scrambling and ensures that all waivers are signed well in advance of tournaments or recreational leagues.

How to ensure higher completion rates

Activity Messenger allows you to schedule email or SMS reminders for waiver completion.

This means no more last-minute scrambling to ensure that all waivers are signed before tournaments, clinics, or matches. You can also track who has signed the waiver directly from your player attendance lists.

How to ensure higher completion rates

📌 Pro Tip: To increase waiver completion rates, Pickleball clubs can schedule a few targeted text or email reminders to parents or participants. These reminders are sent only to those who haven’t yet completed their waivers, ensuring no unnecessary messages are sent to those who have already filled them out.
