Help & Support

Join in helps busy adults find people to play sport with, spontaneously. Browse sessions happening near you, or create your own and let others find it.

No. Join in is built for spontaneous activity. Open the app, see what's happening nearby, and join. You can also create a session yourself and invite others.

A session is an activity at a specific time and location. Anyone can create one: pick a sport, a time, a location, and a visibility level. Others can then see it and join, or request to join.

Open the app and check the map or list view. You can filter by sport to find exactly what you're looking for.

When you create a session, you choose who can see it:

• Public: anyone on Join in
• Friends of friends: your connections, plus one degree out
• Friends only: only people you're connected with
• Invite only: specific people you invite directly

For public and friends-of-friends sessions, the host may allow direct joins. For friends-only and invite-only sessions, or if the host prefers, you'll send a request that the host can accept or decline.

Leave the session in the app as soon as you know. It's good practice to give the host a heads-up. Repeated no-shows affect how reliable you appear to hosts.

Join in helps you find people to play with, but we don't organize, supervise, or vet the sessions or the people in them. Treat it the way you'd treat meeting anyone new through a public activity: use common sense, meet in public places, and tell someone where you're going.

We're committed to keeping Join in a fun and safe place, so please make sure you report people who do not behave according to our code of conduct.

Even though Join in is generally not for children, we are still committed to upholding Child Safety Standards on the app. Read our Child Safety Standards.

Your location is used to show you nearby sessions on the map. It is not shared with other users beyond what's needed to display session locations you've chosen to make visible.

You can report or block a user directly from their profile, or from within a session. Blocking removes them from your sessions and prevents them from contacting you. If you need to reach us directly, email hello@joinin.club. For more details, see our Child Safety Standards.

Only if you set it to public and if you set the join setting to open. You control visibility per session, from fully public down to invite-only and can choose if people need your approval for joining or not.

Join in offers a wide range of group sport activities from football, volleyball, table tennis, padel, running, cycling and many many more. We're constantly adding new ones too, so let us know if you're missing anything.

Join in is currently launching in Berlin. More cities are coming.

We've mapped Berlin's public courts, parks, and outdoor sports areas to start. Can't find your spot? Let us know and we'll add it.

Check the session description before heading over. Some sessions specify skill level or equipment; others are open drop-in. If you're unsure, you can always the host in the group chat.
