Last week the first amateur sports activity organised through our mobile app Join the Game! took place in Athens, Greece! Cultivating an atmosphere of sportsmanship and respect between our users is our main priority. For this reason, after the end of each sport activity fellow sports buddies must rate the reliability and sportsmanship of each other on a scale from 1-10. The score of each user in the app is calculated as the average rating score s/he has received by fellow sports buddies up to today. Factors such as timely arrival at the sports venue and friendly as well as respectful behavior during a sports activity should be taken into consideration when rating others. At a time where people are feeling increasingly stressed and lonely, Join the Game! wants to reverse this trend by building trust and mutual respect between sports buddies who take part in sports activities organised through the app. Post your amateur sports activity now on the app, find sports buddies and Join the Game!

The first sport activity organised through the ‘Join the Game!’ app has taken place in Athens! One of our users Petros posted a tennis activity looking for a player to join him for a single friendly match. Marius joined the activity and they played today morning at the open Kaisariani tennis courts. Boom! Goal achieved! Our app acted as a platform for our users to plan and join an activity and then meet and play! Following three and a half months after launch, our community grows every day and currently there are more than 250 ‘Join the Game!’ users all around Greece. Our vision is to make playing sports with other people as easy as ordering products online. Because exercising with other people is much more fun and -according to numerous studies- has a tremendously positive impact on our physical and mental health. This marks just the beginning, here’s to many more sports activities!
