ilovetoplay.com™ Arrives To Connect Participants With Others In Their Sports
Montreal, Quebec (PRWEB) February 11, 2007 -- Delevante Software Inc., a Montreal-based technology startup company, today announced the official launch of ilovetoplay.com™, an online service connecting sports participants so they can better find and collaborate with each other and organize sports activities.
"Sports participants, in virtually all sports, at all skill levels, and around the world, have long suffered from a lack of much needed connectivity with other participants when organizing sports activities. Anyone even remotely involved in sports knows how often people need to find and collaborate with others in order to organize activities in their sport: players look for other players, players look for teams, teams look for players, teams look for other teams, teams look for coaches, players look for instructors, players look for league organizers, tournament organizers look for teams and players, players look for playing facilities, etc.," said Rob Burrows, Director of Marketing and Business Development.
"The process of finding the right people and collaborating with them for a given sports activity, be it a game, a tournament, or a league, can often be very difficult, time-consuming, and often yields fruitless or unsatisfactory results. People resort to making countless telephone calls, to sending out e-mails, to paying for advertisements, and then hope for the best. Teams or games needing players are often left hopeless once they have exhausted their limited network of friends and contacts. This problem too often results in poor game play and often leaves remaining players or organizers to take on increased costs in facility rentals. Furthermore, gyms, courts, and other facilities often leave potentially lucrative rental time slots unused because players and game organizers are just not aware of their services or schedules," added Marc Chriqui, Founder and President. "All of us involved in sports, in our different roles as players, teams, coaches, game organizers, facility providers, and others, need a place to congregate so that we can quickly find each other and get our games going."
ilovetoplay.com™ is here to effectively solve all of these problems by providing everyone in the sports community with a place to connect with one another. The service is a little bit like the bulletin board that you would find at your local gym or sports center, where people post messages with descriptions of who they are and what they are looking for, but infinitely more powerful, with much wider reach and exposure, extensive sports coverage and searching capabilities, and the full force of the Web behind it. Just about everyone and every activity in sports can use and benefit from ilovetoplay.com™: players, teams, coaches, instructors, schools, camps, clinics, facility providers (such as gyms, courts, fields, and swimming pools), games, tournaments, leagues, practice and training sessions, and more. In a nutshell, ilovetoplay.com™ is a global database of sports profiles and needs. The website is easy to use with features similar to those of traditional social networking sites and classified ad services.
"Whether you're looking to replace an injured player, to have your team practice against another team of the same age or skill level, or even to organize a national league, you'll be able to tap into a vast pool of participants in different roles to find the people and talent you require," said Mr. Chriqui.
"I'm very excited about ilovetoplay.com™. I'm going to be able to find more teams and players for my league, or even better, they will be able to find me! The site will help players organize themselves onto a team, and one of their own choice at that! I will be able to find a convenient place for my league to play in and even refs for the games. ilovetoplay.com™ is going to save me so much time, money, and energy," said Steve Mason, an avid ball hockey player and league organizer, who took part in a pre-launch focus group.
