How to Leave a Pickleball Club

Sometimes a club runs its course — you moved, the crew changed, or you just joined the wrong one by mistake. Leaving is quick and it's cleanly scoped: it drops you from that single club without touching your account or any other club you're in. Here's exactly where the button lives and what happens when you tap it.

Step 1 — Open the club's settings

From the club you want to leave, tap the gear icon in the top corner to open Club Settings. Every member can reach this screen — you don't need to be an admin to leave. On iOS the gear sits in the top-right of the club; on Android it's the settings icon on the club's detail screen.

Step 2 — Find Leave Club at the bottom

Scroll to the bottom of Club Settings. On iOS it sits under a section labeled Danger Zone; on Android it's the Leave Club row at the very bottom, with no section header. Either way it's the Leave Club row with a door icon — the only control you need. Leaving is a one-tap action, not a settings toggle.

If you don't see Leave Club, it's because you own the club — jump to Step 4.

Step 3 — Confirm you're leaving

Tapping Leave Club brings up a confirmation so you never leave by accident:

• On iOS, a sheet asks "Leave [club name]?" — tap Leave to go through, or Cancel to stay.
• On Android, a dialog reads "Leave Club?" with the note "You'll need to be re-invited to rejoin this club." — tap Leave or Cancel.

Confirm, and you're out. pikel removes you from the club and from any groups inside it in the same step — you don't have to leave each group one by one. Your account and every other club stay put; the one you left simply drops off your Clubs tab.

Step 4 — If you're the club's owner

Owners get a different bottom row. Instead of Leave Club you'll see Delete Club — an owner never gets a plain "leave" button at all, so a club is never left with nobody in charge.

So as an owner you have two honest paths:

• Keep the club running and simply step back from day-to-day — lean on your admins and co-hosts to carry game day.
• Delete the club if it's truly done. Delete Club schedules the club for removal in 7 days, and you can cancel anytime before then from the same screen if you change your mind.

Pro tip

Leaving is per-club, not per-account — a useful thing to remember if you belong to several. If you only meant to quiet one noisy club, you don't have to leave to get peace: you can stay a member and just Mute Notifications on its chat instead. And if you do leave a private club and later want back in, there's no standing invite waiting — grab a fresh link or five-character code from an admin. (A public club you can find again in the Games tab's Clubs lens and rejoin on your own.)
