Case Study

Social Sport

Social Sport was our first partner. Together we’ve helped a lot of people play in 7 years.

Social Sport started with one venue in Melbourne in 2009 and by 2013 they were running competitions at 5 venues and were growing rapidly. One significant challenge they faced was how to best cater to the individuals and small groups of 2,3,4 people that wanted to play in their competitions but didn’t have enough people to register a team.

It was right at this moment that Just Play was founded and Social Sport became Just Play’s first ever partner. Fast forward 7 years and Social Sport are running basketball, futsal, netball and footy 7s competitions from 20 Melbourne venues, with Just Play managing individual players and entering teams at all them.

Working with Just Play has allowed Social Sport to concentrate on their core business of running great social competitions. Social Sport simply direct interested individuals to Just Play and we then create and register full teams that don’t require any different management or procedures. Both Social Sport and Just Play have grown significantly since our partnership began and 7 years in we’ve now created over 500 Just Play teams, made up of 3,500+ individual players and had Just Play teams take part in over 12,000 games.
