Get Started as a Player

1. Search for Clubhouse in the App Store or Google Play and install it. Prefer a computer? Open the same app in any web browser — it has the same five tabs.

2. Tap Sign Up. Enter your first name, last name, email, and a password. We email you a 6-digit code — type it in. You can also sign up with your Apple ID and skip the password.

3. Pick your home club.

4. Take the skill test. The app offers it during setup, a couple of screens after you pick your club, so most people do it there. It’s a two-minute quiz that sets your starting rating, so your first games are against people at your level.

Good to know: the “Get match-ready” checklist on your Home tab walks you through the rest. Just follow it.

If you skipped the skill test, you’ll find it at Profile → Rating → Take Skill Test. Once you have a rating the button goes away, and from then on your rating moves up and down with your results.

Your five tabs

• Home — your checklist, suggestions, club news, and your inbox.

• Play — book a court, and see everything you’ve signed up for under Schedule.

• Learn — clinics and private lessons.

• Compete — open play nights, tournaments, series, and rankings.

• Profile — your rating, your history, and your settings.
