You’ll probably know that organising sports groups has always been at the heart of Sportmeets. What you might not know yet is that there are Sportmeets groups on every single continent by now (although I’m not sure whether Antarctica counts in or not).  And seeing ‘crowds’ as diverse as university volleyball clubs, workplace ping-pong ladders or Sunday-football-in-the-park groups joining in, we decided that we’ll ditch the crowd terminology and put the right name on each of them instead. So you can now choose the type of group that you’re creating on Sportmeets – we are starting off with clubs, teams, ladders and, well, groups.

This is an important step in shaping Sportmeets to best fulfil the needs of each particular type of sports group. Here, let me give you an example. You don’t really have (or need) a secretary or a treasurer in your Thursday night football kickabout group, right? Likewise, the Chairman of a long-established squash club might frown upon being publicly called a mere Crowd organiser. So, that’s the big news. Keep the feedback coming! Chances are high that  your suggestion might make it to the next post!

Happy sporting!
