The Ladder
Teams of two climb by beating the teams above them. It keeps going all year, so there is always a next match to play.
See how the ladder worksSound familiar?
- Results typed into a spreadsheet by hand.
- Scores chased on WhatsApp.
- Arranging dates and times for a match in a huge WhatsApp group.
- A table sent round every few days, already out of date.
How Zastria works
Get matched
In a ladder, a team challenges the team above it and has 48 hours to accept or decline. In a Long Americano, Zastria draws the week's partners and matches.
Agree a time
All four players pick the times they are free in the app, and it shows the times that work for everyone.
Play and log
One player enters the score. The other team confirms it.
The table moves
The ranking updates straight away, and everyone sees it.
Two formats, one app
Your club can run one or both. Each has its own rules, and both run the same way for you: players handle the matches, the table updates itself.
Long Americano
A new partner every week, and points decide the winner. Zastria draws the pairs and the matches for you.

Real screens from the app, shown with demo clubs.
The ladder
Every team has a spot. The teams you can challenge are marked.
The standings
Points, wins and ranks, updated as scores go in.
Pick your times
Each player says when they are free, one day at a time.
See what works
The app shows the times all four players are free.
Settle it in the chat
Every match has its own chat, so nobody hunts for a number.
Screens come from demo clubs. All names are made up.
For club owners
What a running league does for your club
Zastria does not book courts. Your players keep booking wherever they book today. What it does is give them a reason to keep coming back, and take the admin off your plate.
16players in a Long Americano league
→
4matches every week, with four players in each
→
56matches over a 14 week season, each one a court booked
Drag to see it change. A Long Americano league holds up to 24 players, in groups of four so everyone plays every week.
That is arithmetic, not a result we have measured. It assumes everyone plays every week.
Always a next match
A ladder never stops, and a Long Americano gives your players a new partner every week. Either way there is always a next match, and someone has to book a court for it.
Less chasing
Players challenge, agree a time and enter the score themselves. You step in only when something is stuck: enter a result, extend a deadline, award a walkover.
One table for everyone
No spreadsheet to send round. The ranking updates when a result is confirmed, and every player sees the same table.
Who it is for
Club owners and admins
You set the leagues up. Players handle the rest. When something gets stuck, you step in with simple tools: enter a result, extend a deadline, award a walkover, fix a mistake. Every league you run is on your phone, with no spreadsheet to keep.
Players
See where you stand. Find a partner or an opponent. Agree a time without a 40-message group chat. Chat with your match inside the app. It is free for every player.
What people say
Running our ladder and league used to eat my evenings. As a group admin, I now get through it in a fraction of the time.
Paul group adminZastria helps us arrange, rank and control our social league. It adds an extra dimension of fun and holds everyone accountable.
SteveThis app just took away all the stress of finding partners and setting up games. This will change padel for the club and the player.
GregZastria is awesome. Complex features made simple, from setting up your available times for your next match to real-time leaderboard standings and so much more.
RobI searched everywhere trying to find an app to run our padel league competition and failed till a friend shared Zastria with me. It has proved perfect to set up teams, find game times and provide rankings and stats. Absolutely ideal.
NicZastria is so easy to use and set up a match with its features. All the stats you need are available to track your progress too. Highly recommended.

Pricing
Free for every player, always. Every club gets six weeks free, then pays one flat monthly price. All prices are in rand, and no VAT is added.
First
Six weeks free
R0
The six weeks start when your first challenge or round starts, not when you sign up. Two leagues are included, in any mix of ladders and Long Americanos.
Then, for the first 10 clubs
Founding clubs
R999 a month for two leagues
R350 a month for each extra league
Both prices are locked for 12 months of billing. The 12 months start when billing starts, so your free weeks do not use them up.
Then, for every other club
Standard
R1,499 a month for two leagues
R499 a month for each extra league
Any two leagues: men's, women's or mixed, ladder or Long Americano. Players pay nothing.
A league is a ladder of up to 20 teams or a Long Americano of up to 24 players. A division is its own league. A third league or more is charged from the day you create it, including during the free weeks. Start playing before 1 January 2027 and your six weeks still start on 1 January.
What founding clubs give us
A short quote about how Zastria works for your club, and permission to use the club's name. In return you keep the founding prices for a full year of billing.
