Question 1

What is Rally?

Accepted Answer

Rally helps you find recreational sports partners by skill, availability, and location. Build a profile for the sports you play, get matched with nearby players in your skill range, discover facilities, and join or host events.

Question 2

How much does Rally cost?

Accepted Answer

Rally has a free tier that covers profile creation, matching, and joining events. Paid plans add extra features like advanced filters and hosting tools. See the Pricing page for the current breakdown.

Question 3

Do I need to be good at a sport to join?

Accepted Answer

No. Rally is built for every level, from first-timers to competitive players. Per-sport skill attributes (like UTR, NTRP, pace, or a skill class) exist so you get matched with people at a comparable level — not to gatekeep.

Question 4

Which sports are supported?

Accepted Answer

Rally supports a growing list of racquet, court, field, and endurance sports. Visit the Sports page to see everything currently available in your area.

Question 5

How does matching work?

Accepted Answer

You set your sports, per-sport skill attributes, availability, and city or region. Rally surfaces players who overlap on sport, skill range, and location so you can send a connection request.

Question 6

Can anyone message me?

Accepted Answer

No. Connections require mutual acceptance. Nobody can contact you until you both agree to connect, so you are never messaged uninvited.

Question 7

Is my precise location shared?

Accepted Answer

By default Rally works at the city or region level and does not share precise location. Your general area helps with matching and facility recommendations, but exact coordinates are not exposed to other members.

Question 8

How do events work?

Accepted Answer

You can create one-time or recurring events with slot limits and control who sees them — public, first-degree connections, second-degree, or a specific group. Attendees can add any event instance to their calendar.

Question 9

Does Rally organize or supervise events?

Accepted Answer

No. Rally provides the tools to find partners and coordinate, but hosts and attendees are responsible for their own conduct and safety. Recreational sports carry inherent risks and participation is at your own risk.

Question 10

Where does facility information come from?

Accepted Answer

Facility listings are a curated directory of courts, parks, health clubs, and trails with attributes like lights, indoor/outdoor, surface, and membership. Details can change, so verify hours and access with the facility before you go.

Question 11

Who can see my profile?

Accepted Answer

Profile details are visible only to accepted connections and, in a limited form, to community admins scoped to your city or sport. Event attendance is visible to other attendees of that event.

Question 12

How is my data used?

Accepted Answer

Your data is used only to provide and improve Rally's features — matching, event discovery, facility recommendations, and safety. We do not sell your personal information or use it for third-party advertising. See our Data Terms and Privacy Policy for details.

Question 13

Can I export or delete my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can access, correct, export, or delete your data from your profile settings. Deleted accounts are removed within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal, safety, or fraud-prevention reasons.

Question 14

Is Rally available to children?

Accepted Answer

Rally is not intended for anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.
