As participation in grassroots and recreational sport grows, the biggest challenges for players are: finding a game nearby, at the right level, with an open spot, and people to play with.
athme removes that friction by connecting players, hosts, organizers, and venues in one place through discovery, bookings, payments, waiting lists, rewards, and social features. Unlike single-sport booking tools, athme brings multiple sports and the full community experience together, helping people play more often, meet others, and helping organizers and venues build active local communities.
The platform serves each side of the local sports ecosystem.
Players can discover nearby sports, join organized games, pay in-app, find opponents and teammates at the right level, invite friends, and earn coins and rewards for taking part.
Hosts and organizers can create one-off or recurring events, manage participants, payments, and waiting lists, reduce no-shows, and turn one-time activities into repeat communities.
Venues can reach active local players, fill unused capacity, generate additional bookings, and collaborate with athme on new event concepts.
Companies and partners, meanwhile, can organize social sports experiences, tournaments, and community activations through the app. In effect, athme acts as a single multi-sport layer connecting players, organizers, and sports infrastructure — making participation easier, more social, and more rewarding.
That model is already gaining traction: today, more than 6,000 players have joined across four European cities, supported by a lean team of six.
We are delighted to welcome athme to the GSIC ecosystem and look forward to supporting their continued engagement with sports organizations, startups, and industry leaders around the world.
