📌
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.

Let’s build a more social sporting experience together.

@_arnavkhandelwal_ Are there any plans to allow users to create private clubs?

@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.

This is a ideal way to find a team or a training partner. Are there options available for casual players as well?

@lucas_edwards1, yes, you can just add the skill level you are at or just a tag of "casual game" and all the people who are interested in the same kind of gameplay will be able to join in.

How do you ensure safety and authenticity on the platform?
Is there a verification process in place to keep spammy or fake profiles at bay?

@grayson_parker2 We currently offer email verification via OTP and are working on adding phone number verification to further enhance community security and ensure user accountability.

Bringing together athletes and gamers is such a smart idea. Is there a way for me to host or promote my own local event?
Report
Maker
@jude_gray For now, you would have to contact the admins ( you can mail us) if you want your event to be displayed on the events page, you want to host yourself, or if the event is smaller, you can simply post it.

How do you maintain a balance between being a social platform and steering clear of the toxicity that can sometimes seep into gaming communities?
Are there any moderation tools in place?

@juan_smith1 At Sports Social, we focus on building positive, interest-based connections — not anonymous interactions.
To keep the community safe and respectful:
We center the platform around shared activities like sports, gaming, and workouts, which encourage collaboration over toxicity.
Community guidelines set clear expectations from the start.
Admins actively review and take action on inappropriate posts or behavior.
The platform limits random interactions by focusing on intent-based participation — users join sessions and groups they’re genuinely interested in.
As we grow, features like reporting and blocking are part of our roadmap to further support a safe, welcoming space.

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.
