| <h2 class="text-center">New app from Scotland aims to be <br/> ‘Facebook for sports’</h2> | |
| <br/> | |
| <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6"> | |
| <p>Find a Player is designed to connect the 15 million people in the UK who play sports on a weekly basis. The free app, developed in Scotland, enables people to organise games and find players in their local area.</p> | |
| <p>“During development, we found the main reasons games stop happening is the constant problem finding enough players and the stress of organising,” says Find a Player founder Jim Law. “Find a Player addresses these problems — the app totally automates the organisation process and makes it incredibly simple to find available players and games in your area - it could revolutionise how people organise sports games.”</p> | |
| <p>With the UK’s interest in sports at an all-time high, following London 2012 and Glasgow 2014, Find a Player could not come at a better time. 15 million people regularly participate in over </p> | |

| <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6"> | |
| <p>140 different sports, and there are 90,000 venues with approximately 50,000 registered teams nationwide. Find a Player therefore has the potential for rapid growth, and international expansion is already on the development team’s radar.</p> | |
| <p>But for Jim, the reasoning behind creating the app was simple and personal: “I regularly receive invites to games at times or places that just don’t suit, but couldn’t find games at times that did. With people constantly connected via smartphones, I thought there had to be a better way to bring players together than posting pleas on social networks or sending multiple texts to friends! Find a Player is the result — a hub between games and players, with a rich game organisation and invitation system. It takes the stress out of organisation, enabling you to get on with playing the games!”</p> | |
