About Us
Remember when?
Remember when you'd rush home after school, throw your backpack on the ground, and sprint outside to meet your friends?
No phones. No DMs. No swiping right. Just you, your buddies, and a ball.
The grass stains on your knees, the breathless laughter, and that weird kid from down the street who always insisted on being goalkeeper.
That sweet, sweet '90s life.
Well, guess what? We're bringing it back! But this time, you're allowed to stay up past 9 PM and no one's mom is calling you home for dinner.
Who The Heck Are We?
What started as one slightly chaotic soccer game in 2014 (with questionable referee calls and even more questionable short-shorts) has somehow morphed into Brisbane's largest social sports club for grown-ups who want to feel like kids again.
SportUP now has over 10,000 players across Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast who are ditching their phones, closing their laptops, and logging off dating apps to actually see other humans in real life. Shocking, we know!
What We're All About
Our mission? Pretty simple:
Help you live your best dang life: Feel happier, laugh more, get fit with friends.
We currently have 10,546 members (yes, we counted) playing social Netball, Basketball, Soccer (that's Football for you rebel English), and Volleyball across 70+ competitions at 18 premium venues.
And when we say "social sports," we MEAN it. This isn't about reliving your failed professional athlete dreams or intimidating everyone with your super-serious game face.
It's about:
- Having a giggle when someone trips over nothing
- High-fiving strangers who become friends
- Realising you're way less coordinated than you remember
- Celebrating epic fails as much as epic wins
- Actually looking forward to weeknights (what?!)
Our Very Serious Business Values
(Except we're not serious. Like, at all.)
- We really care (about you, your experience, and whether you're having fun)
- Solutions over problems (spilled beer? here's a napkin and another beer)
- We keep it simple (like your dating life before apps)
- We have fun (it's literally in our job description)
- No Jerks (if you're a jerk, please go be a jerk elsewhere)
