Squad: Sports Near You

Wanting to play football on Thursday is easy. Finding nine other people who also want to is the hard part. Squad fixes that bit. FIND A GAME, YOUR WAY Swipe through games happening near you, check the distance radar, or browse the full list sorted by time — whichever suits how you like to plan. GAMES LOCK IN, SO YOU KNOW IT'S HAPPENING A host can set a minimum headcount — say 8 for five-a-side. Until it's reached, the game shows as unconfirmed, so you never turn up to find three people. Hosts can skip the minimum entirely too, and play with whoever shows. SHOW-UP RATE MAKES FLAKING VISIBLE After each game, players confirm who actually turned up. That builds a show-up rate on every profile — so you know who to count on before you join their game. POSITIONS, NOT JUST NUMBERS Ten players is no use if none of them will go in goal. Hosts can flag exactly which position they're short of. REGULAR FIXTURES Set up the same Tuesday five-a-side once, and everyone joins in a tap, week after week. EVERY SPORT, ONE APP Football, padel, basketball, tennis, badminton, volleyball, handball, floorball, ice hockey, table tennis, running, cycling, open water swimming, bouldering and yoga — each with the real numbers behind it. Padel fills a court with four. A full 5-a-side is ten. Squad knows the difference. Free to use. No ads. Android first — iOS is coming.

First release of Squad: find players for your game, or find a game to join, near you.
