About the startup
Scrim is a pickup sports app for finding a game near you or organizing your own. Join a pickup football (soccer), padel or basketball game with people nearby, or set up a match with friends and fill the last spots with one link. No more "who's in?" in the group chat: every game has a roster, and a spot is one tap. Ten sports: football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, padel, badminton, pickleball, table tennis, handball and field hockey. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone looking for people to play with: new in town, two short for five-a-side, or a padel pair looking for two more. Hosts who run a weekly game use Scrim to fill it without chasing replies. FIND A GAME • Public games near you, soonest first, as a list or on a map • Filter by sport, day and how far you'll travel • See the time, place, level, cost and who's playing before you join • Take a spot in one tap, and drop out just as easily • Get a push if the time or place changes, or the game is called off • Your games keeps everything you've joined and hosted in one place START A GAME • Pick a sport, a time and a place on the map from real pitches and courts near you • Set the number of players and the level: casual, intermediate or competitive • Add what the pitch costs and Scrim splits it per player. You settle at the gate. • Get a link to drop in any group chat. The preview shows the game itself. ONE LINK, NO INSTALL Anyone you send the link to can take a spot by typing their name. No account and no app needed. If they already have Scrim, the link opens it. FULL? GET IN LINE Join the waitlist on a full game. When a spot opens, the next person in line gets it automatically. Close to kick-off, they get 15 minutes to take it before it moves on. CHAT • Every game has its own chat for the gate code and the "running late" • Message friends one to one • Mute a chat, report a message, and read your chats offline FRIENDS Add friends by their username and send them a game in one tap. TURN UP, LEVEL UP Check in at the pitch before kick-off to earn xp. Climb levels and unlock achievements for showing up, never for skill. Your profile shows the games you've played and hosted. SAFE TO PLAY Block someone and you stop seeing them. Report a listing, correct a venue or flag a no-show. Offensive words are filtered out of names, games and chats. SCRIM PLUS (7 DAYS FREE) • Boost your game to the top of the nearby feed until the roster fills • Make a group of your regulars and share games into it in one tap • Skip the line: you're first when a spot opens on a full game On iPhone and iPad, in English, Spanish, Italian, Polish, German, French, Romanian and Dutch. Find a game. Fill a game.
