Join Sports Social to connect with local athletes and gamers, find sporting events, and build a community centred around sports and games. Safe, authentic, and designed for athletes and gamers.
I’m Arnav, co-founder of SportsSocial — a platform built by two students who faced the same problem many athletes and gamers do: wanting to play, but not having the right teammates or enough players.
We built SportsSocial to help people discover and create local or online sports/esports sessions, find teammates in real-time, and grow their community. Whether you’re looking for a last-minute 5-a-side or just someone to queue Valorant with, this is your space.
This is just the beginning — we’re already working on a mobile app with features like rank tracking, achievement sharing, and a dedicated feed for your proud moments 🏆
We’d love your feedback, support, and ideas to make this even better.

@jude_gray Currently, we just allow public events, but soon we'll be implementing the idea of private clubs in the form of forums that users can create and post into.
@faith_foster Yes, SportsSocial includes built-in direct messaging and group chat features, so you can easily share tips, highlights, or even coordinate matches with your squad. We are currently working on a dedicated forum where gamers and athletes can post their achievements and get a platform outside the boundaries of traditional social media, filled with influencers, to get some recognition.
We built SportsSocial to solve a problem we kept running into — wanting to play, but not having the right people to play with.
Whether it’s a quick 5-a-side match or a late-night Valorant queue, finding teammates who are available and serious shouldn’t be this hard.
SportsSocial is a platform where players can discover and join local or online sessions, find teammates in real-time, and build their own active community.
From a development perspective, this project challenged us to think deeply about:
• Keeping sessions simple yet discoverable
• Making team formation and joining feel instant
• Designing chat and group features that don’t interrupt the flow
We’re now working on the mobile app — with rank tracking, achievements, and a feed to share your proudest moments.
If you’re into sports, esports, or just enjoy exploring new tools, we’d love your feedback.
Sports Social is a great platform to connect with local athletes and gamers, discover nearby events, and be part of a real sports and gaming community. It feels safe, authentic, and is clearly built with enthusiasts in mind. A must-try for anyone who loves sports or gaming!
@_arnavkhandelwal_ Are there any plans to allow users to create private clubs?

I love that it’s tailored just for us. Is there a built in chat or forum where we can share tips and highlights?
