FOR EVERYONE
Discover your next place to play
Browse venues, activities, experiences and amenities. Search by city or use your location, explore the map and list, and share filtered search links.
Filter by activity, distance, country and region, free or paid access, prices and currency, facilities, surfaces, indoor or covered spaces, lighting, opening times and amenities. Compare venue listings side by side.
Explore venue and facility photos, descriptions, source links, reviews, prices, memberships, class timetables and facility calendars. Find directions, contact details and nearby free public water and toilets where recorded.
Explore venues →FOR REGISTERED PLAYERS
Make it personal and find teammates
Set your public display name, favorite activities, search location, radius and free-venue preference. Publish weekly availability, save preferred venues and mark yourself as local at a free public venue. Explore player profiles and team availability to find people to play with.
Request to join local teams and follow their members, colors, home venue and match history. Take part in matches arranged by your captain when two eligible teams meet the facility, activity, roster and availability requirements.
Create, update or remove your own facility-and-activity reviews, with a visit date and ratings for the venue, facility, activity experience and listed amenities. After matches, complete surveys and vote for the best player overall and on your team.
Keep your account name and public player name separate, update your password and sign out your other sessions when changing it.
Open your player profile →FOR TEAM CAPTAINS
Bring your team together
Mark an eligible free public venue as local, create a team for a supported activity, choose its name and colors, and manage membership requests. Accept new teammates or remove members, check their shared weekly availability and reserve matches.
Team membership is unlimited; each match follows its activity’s on-field and bench roster limits. Captains can organise tournaments, sessions and open events at eligible free venues.
Match surveys help recognise players. Once all participating players on a team have cast their team vote, the player with the highest team vote becomes captain for the next match.
View matches & surveys →FOR VENUE OWNERS & MANAGERS
Keep your venue up to date
Submit a new listing as a draft or request administration of an existing venue for platform review. Approved owners and assigned managers can edit the venues they manage.
Maintain descriptions, location, contact details, activities, amenities and individual facilities. Publish prices and membership offers, opening hours, credited photos and classes with instructors, rooms, dates, local times and booking links.
Manage facility availability and reservations, schedule facility events and review games at your venue. Where billing is configured, use Stripe Checkout and its customer portal for venue-manager services; payment credentials stay with Stripe.
Claim venue administration →FOR PLATFORM ADMINISTRATORS
Maintain the directory and community
Authorised administrators review venue claims, assign owners and additional managers, edit listings and control publication, listing tiers and editorial ratings.
Extend the country, region and municipality catalog, manage home page banners, handle contact messages and reports, and moderate review comments. These controls are restricted to approved platform administrators.
PLAN YOUR VISIT
Understand listings and bookings
Missing prices, hours or amenities mean unknown. Check source attribution and confirm access rules, current prices, holiday hours and closures with the venue. Prices retain their listed currency and billing period; schedules use the venue’s local time.
Class timetables describe published sessions. Confirm seat availability through the operator’s booking link or contact the venue. Listed memberships are offers; venue-manager billing is separate from paying for a visit or class.
Anyone can contact SportNearby or report a problem with a listing to help keep the platform useful.
