Sporty.com.au is part of a national initiative to help improve the organisation of sport throughout Australia.
Every single sports association and club can claim a FREE modern website and content management system. Each site comes with an online toolkit, including group email eNewsletters, online registrations and a member database.
There's also a free mobile app to improve communication between sports organisers and their communities. It displays news, photo galleries, online registrations, and push notifications for notices and alerts. Importantly, the mobile app automatically syncs with the Sporty website platform, so there is no need to update two systems.
The Sporty.com.au platform is designed to make a real difference to Australian sport by providing:
- A simple communication medium for sportspeople, coaches, parents and supporters.
- Easy to use technology - perfect for volunteers
- Greater professionalism and consistency in the way sport is promoted online
- Reduced dependence on web designers
- Domain name registration - secure your own web address
- Syndication of content to update your website, Facebook and mobile app - all at once.
- Retention of knowledge that is often lost when volunteers change each season.
- Options for member management, member registrations, and online payments - streamlining your admin processes and making your member information private, secure and accessible to you from anywhere.
Sporty displays advertising banners to contribute towards the cost of delivering this free service. However, you can remove advertising for an annual subscription fee if you prefer.
Some national and regional sports organisations already provide websites and/or member databases. We encourage clubs and schools to support their governing body and comply with affiliation requirements. We also promote leveraging modern technology to help improve administration and increase participation in sport, whether this comes from Google, Facebook or Sporty.com.au.
