How Sportly works

From “who's coming Thursday?” to the pitch.

Your crew's group

You make a group with the people you usually play with and send them the link. Anyone who joins one of the group's matches ends up in the group too. You can make other people admins, not just yourself.

The match

You pick the sport, the place, the day and the time. The time is always fixed, nobody votes on it. Send the link wherever you like and whoever opens it sees the match, even without an account. Invite your friends from the app, or approve every spot yourself.

The match, open to the public

Still short on players? From the match, pick “Find players” and confirm. The match leaves the group and anyone in the city can see it. Everyone already signed up stays in, and the group gets an announcement. People looking for a game find it on Discover and join in one tap.

Who's coming

You see who signed up and how many spots are left, without asking anyone. Before the match everyone gets a reminder, so nobody forgets.

Talk

Every match and every group has its own chat, with reactions and GIFs. If you only want to talk to one of them, message them directly.

Polls

Can't agree on the time or the court? Run a poll in the group. Everyone votes and you see the result right away, no endless messages.

New people

On Discover you see which public matches are on in your city. In each sport's community you meet more players, and when a match shows up near you, we let you know.

Your profile

This is where your sports, your matches played and your reputation live. After each match the organizer marks who didn't show up, and that goes on your profile.

Not just matches

You set up a Sunday run or a hike and whoever wants to comes along. There's no limit on spots, unless you set one.
