SportNet is the professional network built for sport — the LinkedIn for athletes. Build a credible profile, share your highlights and get discovered by coaches, scouts and teams. If you coach, scout or run a club, search a growing database of athletes by sport, position, level and region and message them directly. No agents, no middlemen, no fees. Every sport, every level, worldwide: football, rugby, basketball, cricket, hockey, athletics, swimming, tennis, MMA, golf, cycling and many more, from grassroots and academy to university and professional. YOUR PROFILE, BUILT FOR SPORT • Sport, position, level, club and a summary strip a scout can read in seconds. • Experience, achievements, performance stats, physical attributes, goals and contact links. • Highlight reels and photos as posts on your profile, viewable full screen. • A profile strength percentage that shows what to fill in next. • Export your profile as a PDF to share outside the app. THE AI PROFILE ASSISTANT Describe your sporting life in your own words, typed or dictated, and the assistant organises it into profile sections. Nothing is saved until you review and accept each suggestion. Powered by Claude from Anthropic, and only after you give permission. GET DISCOVERED • Opt in to a scouting profile so verified coaches can find you. • Scout search lets verified coaches filter athletes by sport, position, level and region. • Following is one-way; connecting is mutual. Connections can message each other. • A verified badge, backed by an ID check, so the people who contact you are who they say they are. TEAMS • Create or join a team, with join requests, invite links and codes. • Post as the team to everyone who follows it, and run a team chat. • Fixtures with results: add a fixture, the other team confirms, either side enters the score, and your season record and head-to-head build up automatically. • Manage members and staff, and transfer ownership when needed. EVENTS • Trials, camps, games and recruiting events, in an agenda or on a map near you. • RSVP, see who is going, set a reminder and add it to your calendar. • Create your own events, with an optional capacity, weekly repeat and team link. FEED, POSTS AND MESSAGING • A feed of the athletes, coaches and teams you follow, not an algorithmic mix of strangers. • Photos, video, tags, hashtags, reposts, playlists and one-tap translation. • Direct messages and group chats with photos, voice notes, reactions and replies. Messages from people you are not connected to wait in Requests. SAFE BY DESIGN • Under-18 accounts are private by default and never show a date of birth. • Choose who can see your profile: everyone, connections and coaches, connections only, or private. • Block and report in one tap. Reports involving under-18s are reviewed the same day. • Your health and physical data is only stored with your explicit permission. MORE • Use more than one account on one device and switch with a tap. • Delete your account in-app, with a 30-day grace period. • Free to join. No credit card, no trial period.

Feeds and reels now use far less memory, which fixes the app closing unexpectedly after scrolling through videos. - Sharing a post works for everyone. Some accounts tapped Share and nothing happened. Fixed. - New sign-ups get a head start.

Athletes you've already opened are marked "Viewed". • Saved searches: save any set of scouting filters and get a daily alert when new athletes match. Messages • Send while offline: messages, likes and follows made without a connection are kept and sent automatically when you're back online. The banner at the top shows what's waiting.

A faster, smoother media viewer — posts open in place, swipe to dismiss, videos keep playing. Messages, tidied up — filters that glide between All, Unread, People, Groups and Teams, and a slimmer Archived row. Videos now go through the post editor too, so you can reorder and preview your carousel before you share.
