I haven't played a sport in years (or ever) can I still play?
Yes. PortSportsâ?? focus is on fun and casual competition. There are no professional teams scouting our games for potential players. While some of our sports leagues can get organically competitive due to the nature of the sport, we work hard to keep them fun for all of our players. If you have any questions about specific sports, you are always welcome to contact us and we will work with you to get you into the sport you will enjoy the most.
How do the charities you donate to get chosen?
Each team in our Sports Leagues chooses a non-profit to compete for. We want our participants to play for something they care about.
Why don't you just pick one charity and give a lot of money to it?
Choosing a non-profit that means something to your team adds another dimension to the leagues. We keep our sports casual so that our participants can have fun in a stressful world, and playing for a charity of your choice makes giving back to the community even easier and enjoyable. In addition, itâ??s a great way to learn about non-profits that you may be interested in supporting.
I don't have a team, can I sign up as an individual and get placed on a team?
Yes. PortSports will place anyone that signs up as an individual (or a small group) on a team guaranteed. We want everyone to be able to play.
