FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Volii?
Volii is session-planning and stats software for pickleball groups and clubs: sessions, cost-splitting, singles and doubles ELO ratings, leaderboards, player profiles, achievements, tournaments, seasons, and weather-aware scheduling.
Who is Volii for?
Volii is for a group that already plays together regularly and has outgrown tracking it in a group chat and a spreadsheet: a recurring friend group, a club, or a league that runs its own sessions. It fits from four players up past twenty. It is not a court booking system and not facility management software, so if what you need is to reserve court time or take public registrations, Volii is the wrong tool. If what you need is to know who is playing, who owes what, and who is actually winning, that is the whole job it does.
How to organize a recurring pickleball groupIs Volii free?
A club of up to 4 players is free forever: unlimited game logging, singles and doubles ratings, the leaderboard, and player profiles with full match history. No card and no time limit. Sessions, achievements, milestones, seasons, tournaments and weather are on the Friend Group plan at $15 USD a month, which also holds up to 20 players.
Does Volii process payments between players?
No. Volii does not process, hold, or transmit any payment between players. Balances is a ledger and reminder tool: players can list an e-transfer email so a debt shows exactly where to send it, but the actual transfer happens entirely outside the app, through the players' own bank or e-transfer provider. Subscription payments are separate and are handled by Stripe, which is also where card details go: Volii never sees or stores a card number.
How does Balances (cost-splitting) work?
A session's cost splits evenly across whoever played. Balances then nets every outstanding share against every recorded payment between the same two people, across every session they've shared, so owing someone from three different sessions becomes one clean number instead of three separate ones.
How does ELO rating work in Volii?
Singles and doubles are tracked as two separate rating tracks per player. By default, a new doubles team starts from the average of its two players' Singles ELO and moves as a team from there, though admins can switch Doubles ELO to rank individuals instead of teams at any time, with the change reflected immediately. Ratings move faster for newer players and level off as you play more games.
How pickleball ELO ratings workDoes Volii reset stats each season?
Yes, by default. Season length and reset behavior are configurable and can be changed at any time. When a season resets, the active leaderboard starts fresh, while career-best peaks and full match history stay on your profile permanently.
What address does my club live at, and what if I forget it?
Every club gets its own address, taken from its name when it is created: a club called The Dink Club lives at thedinkclub.volii.io. That is where you and everyone you invite sign in, and it is emailed to whoever created the club as soon as the club exists. If you forget it, go to volii.io/find and enter the email you signed up with, and Volii will send you every club that address is on.
Does Volii book courts or reserve facilities?
No. Volii is a logging and record-keeping tool only. It does not book, reserve, or facilitate access to any court, facility, or rec center.
What information does Volii collect?
Account information (email, password, name), game data (scores, participants, dates), and any cost-splitting references (like an e-transfer email) you or another user provide. Volii does not collect location data. If your club subscribes, Stripe handles the payment and holds the card details; Volii stores only which plan you are on and a billing email.
How do I delete my account or my data?
Contact support@volii.io. You can request deletion of your account, or request a copy of the personal information Volii holds about you, at any time.
Do I need to be 18 to use Volii?
Yes. Volii is not directed at, and is not intended for use by, anyone under 18 years old.
What platforms does Volii work on?
Volii is a web application, and also supports iOS and Android.
Pricing and billing
The same answers the pricing page gives, next to the plans they're about.
What do I get for free, forever?
A club of up to 4 players, unlimited game logging, singles and doubles ratings, the leaderboard, and player profiles with your full match history. No card, no time limit.
What happens when the free trial ends?
Your club moves to Free. Nothing you logged is deleted, and the games, ratings and leaderboard keep working. Sessions, achievements, milestones, seasons, tournaments and weather go back to being hidden until you subscribe.
What if we have more than 4 players and don't subscribe?
The club stays open to read. Every game, rating, profile and leaderboard position is still there, and nobody is removed from your roster. Logging new games is what stops until you subscribe. We would rather hold your club intact than ask you to cut it down to four people.
Can I cancel? What happens to our data?
Cancel any time from your billing page, in two clicks, with no phone call and no retention maze. You keep full access to the end of the period you have already paid for, then land on Free with your club intact. Subscribe again later and everything reappears exactly as it was.
Do you refund the rest of my subscription?
Subscriptions renew automatically and you can cancel any time from your billing page. When you cancel you keep full access until the end of the period you have paid for, month or year, and we do not automatically refund unused time. If something went wrong, a double charge, a billing error, or you forgot to cancel and never used it, email support@volii.io and we will make it right.
Do you charge per player?
No. One club pays one price.
Can I switch from monthly to annual?
You can move from monthly to annual whenever you like. The days you have already paid for that month come off the price of the year, so you pay a year's price for a year's service, and annual works out 17% cheaper.
What currency is this, and what about tax?
Every price on the pricing page is in US dollars: $15 USD a month, or $150 USD a year. Sales tax, including GST and HST in Canada, is worked out at checkout from your billing address and shown before you pay.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Signing up asks for your name, your email and what to call your club. A card is only collected the moment you choose to subscribe, and the 20-day trial never asks for one.
