A free website, www.sportingconnections.com, has been launched that allows you to find sports partners, teams, coaches, personal trainers and sports events anywhere in the world and, best of all, it is free. The site is the brainchild of Oscar Boult, committed traveller and sports nut, who decided to do something about the lack of internet based options for finding others to do sport with as he travelled.
The site allows you to create a sports profile for yourself and set your location by using google maps (privacy assured) and allows you to then search for other members, teams and events anywhere around the world by your sporting interests, by distance from where you live and a multitude of other search options. This allows you to find others who play the same sport, age, ability and location (or of course, before you go on holiday or travelling you can find people in the area you are going)
SportingConnections includes around 100 sports already, everything from walking, hiking and lawn bowls, to the more extreme sports of motocross, surfing, skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding and kitesurfing; of course all the normal sports like football, soccer, golf, baseball, basketball, rugby and running are included as well.
