Safety & trust

Meeting new people to play with should feel good, not risky.

Trust is the biggest reason people hesitate to meet sports partners from an app. Here's exactly what Sportmeet does about it.

Phone verification

Every account is verified with a real SMS code before it can match with anyone. Not a checkbox — an actual phone number tied to every profile.

Block & report, separately

Blocking removes someone from your matches instantly. Reporting is its own flow — reason, details, submission confirmation — so issues actually get reviewed, not just hidden.

Community guidelines

Keep it friendly. Be safe. Two simple rules, stated plainly during onboarding and enforceable through the report system.

Meeting up for the first time

A few basics worth repeating.

  • Meet at the public field, court, or facility itself — never a private address for a first game.
  • Let a friend know where you're headed and who you're meeting.
  • Chat in the app first; you don't owe anyone a phone number or social media before you're ready.
  • If something feels off, trust that instinct and use the block or report tool — no explanation required.
