Updated · Leer en español
Every game on Xsporty is tagged with a sport and a level. Setting yours honestly is the single best thing you can do to enjoy your first games.
Sports on Xsporty
Soccer and futsal, pickleball, beach tennis, tennis, padel, volleyball and beach volleyball, basketball, table tennis, golf, running, cycling, swimming, walking and hiking, gym and CrossFit, yoga and more. Organizers pick the sport when they create a game, so if you don't see yours in the feed, filter for it anyway — or create the first game.
What the levels mean
- Beginner: you're learning the sport or coming back after years away. You know the basic rules and want a relaxed game.
- Intermediate: you play regularly, you're comfortable with the rules and the pace, and you can hold your own in a competitive game.
- Advanced: you've played at a high level — club, league, college or similar — and you want a fast, competitive game.
Levels are set per sport. You can be advanced in soccer and a beginner in pickleball. Games can also be tagged for all levels.
Set your level
- Open your profile, tap the gear icon, then Edit Profile.
- Under Sports Interests, add a sport and tap it.
- Pick your Skill Level, add your Years Playing and, if you like, a position. Tap Save.
Why honesty pays
Organizers tag games by level and look at your profile before approving you. If you're returning after a long break, start with Beginner or Intermediate even if you used to be good — it's easier to move up than to be the person slowing down an advanced game. After every game, teammates rate each other's level on the day, so over time your average reflects how you actually play. See Rate players after a game.
Frequently asked questions
Can I join a game above my level?
On an Open game, yes. On an approval-required game the organizer decides, using your profile and ratings.
What if my sport isn't listed?
Organizers choose from the sport catalog when creating a game. Pick the closest sport, and put the details in the game's name and description.
Can I change my level later?
Yes, any time from Edit Profile. Your ratings from past games stay the same.
