Discover players and groups

Use Discover on Xsporty to find players by sport, level, age and availability, and to find public and private groups.

Updated · Leer en español

Games are only half of Xsporty. Discover — the magnifying glass in the bottom bar — is where you find the people and groups to play them with.

Players

The Players tab shows player cards you can tap to open their profile, follow them or message them.

  • Sport chips across the top start with Your sports, then popular ones. Tap More sports to pick any other.
  • Tap Filters to narrow by Sport, Skill Level, Age Range, Available to play — Any Time, Free tonight, Weekdays or Weekends — and Online now, which shows only players active today with a green dot. Tap Show players.
  • Type a name in Search players to find someone specific. Search forgives accents and typos.

Players in your city are listed first. Private profiles only match sport, level, age and availability filters if you follow them, since that information is hidden from everyone else.

Groups

The Groups tab lists groups with chips for All, My Groups, Public and Private. Search by name — initials work too, so "PC" finds "Pickleball Crew". Tap Join Group on a public group or Request to Join on a private one. See Groups.

Invite from Contacts

At the bottom of Discover, Invite from Contacts lets you bring friends who aren't on Xsporty yet. Contacts already on Xsporty get an in-app invitation; everyone else gets a text with the download link. Your contacts stay on your phone and are never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Can I find players by distance?

Not yet. Profiles carry a city, not coordinates, so Discover lists players in your city first and then everyone else.

What does Free tonight mean?

Players whose play-style answers say they play on today's kind of day and in the evening. Set yours from your profile's sport details.

Why can't I find a friend?

Search by the name on their profile. Accounts without a name or photo and league or club accounts are hidden from Discover.

Still need help?

Players, organizers and venues — we reply in English or Español.
