## What is SportsPal?

SportsPal is a real-world activity platform built to help people connect, show up, and stay consistent together. Discover nearby sessions, host your own, join clubs, chat instantly, plan routes, and keep your active life organized in one smooth experience.

No public individual athlete rankings or skill scores. Just movement, connection, competition where it belongs, and momentum.

Why SportsPal?

* 50+ activities: football, basketball, tennis, running, cycling, hiking, swimming, gym, padel, yoga, boxing, climbing, and more.
* Discover nearby: browse a feed or interactive map, filter by activity, search, date, and discovery radius, sort by distance, and use Search this area to explore new locations.
* Find the right venue: get activity-specific recommendations for courts, gyms, fields, trails, and other useful places.
* Weather-aware planning: see forecasts and practical activity-specific weather advice before you go.
* Easy directions: open locations through Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze.
* Host in minutes: set location, time, headcount, format, and participant limits, or reuse a previous activity instead of rebuilding it.
* Instant coordination: joining an activity connects participants through its group chat. Direct messages and custom group chats also support replies and reactions.
* SportsPals network: build your circle, invite people you enjoy being active with, and turn one activity into a lasting routine.
* Goals: track progress through four progression levels and stay focused on consistency.
* Calendar and history: see upcoming activities, review completed sessions, and add individual activities to your device calendar with reminders.
* Private feedback: rate completed activities, venues, routes, and attendance privately without creating public athlete scores.

Clubs and Tournaments

Create or join open and private clubs, manage join approvals, add custom badges, vibes, activities, and home bases, and keep your community organized. Clubs can invite other clubs, arrange shared sessions, and create friendly challenges.

Tournaments support organized competition with locations, dates, divisions, eligibility settings, organizer details, club registration, rosters, and standings. Participants can quickly see where to be, when to arrive, and how the event is structured.

Routes and GPX

Plan running, hiking, and cycling routes by drawing them in the app or importing GPX files. View distance and elevation, save routes for offline use, follow in-app offline route guidance, and export GPX files for compatible apps and devices.

SportsPal Pass

SportsPal Pass is an optional digital pass for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. It contains member profile information and a QR code that opens the member’s SportsPal profile for quick access and sharing.

Built for real life:

* New in town: discover local people through shared activities.
* Need consistency: build routines around real sessions and clear goals.
* Organizing groups: fill spots and coordinate without scattered group messages.
* Outdoor focused: plan, save, follow, and share routes with useful weather and map context.
* Community focused: build through Clubs and compete through Tournaments when you want to.

Privacy and Safety

SportsPal includes block, mute, and report tools, plus controls for visibility and communication. Notifications are customizable, and activity links can be shared outside SportsPal to invite others.

SportsPal supports 20 languages and offers sign-in with Apple, Google, Facebook, or email. Depending on the features you use, the app may request Location, Notifications, Camera, Photos, and optional Calendar access.

SportsPal is free to download and use. No required subscription, no credit card at signup, and no paywall between you and your next activity.
