Stop the "Wall of Text." Fix Your Group Chat Today.

Stop the "Wall of Text." Fix Your Group Chat Today.

Is your pocket buzzing right now?

You posted the schedule. It’s right there in the pinned message. You did your job.

But now, that pinned message is buried. It is buried under three memes, a debate about which running shoes are on sale, and Dave asking if anyone found his left glove at the trailhead.

Now, three people are typing: "What time are we meeting?" "Is it the same place as last week?"

The "Status Anxiety" Loop

When information is hard to find, your members get anxious. They don't want to be the one person waiting at the wrong park entrance. They don't want to drive 20 minutes just to find out the session was cancelled.

So they ask. Again. And Again.

This creates Administrative Friction. You are the organizer, but you feel like a call center operator. You spend more time moderating the chat than planning the route.

WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are fantastic for chatting. They are terrible for facts.

The Fix: A Single Source of Truth

You don’t need a complex management system with logins and passwords. You need a digital pinboard.

Enter Sportly.

We are not a social network. We don't want your members to "hang out" in our app. We want them to check the facts and put their phone away.

Sportly acts as the "Source of Truth" that sits quietly in your group description.

How it Works (30 Seconds Setup)

  1. Create your page. Set your regular schedule (e.g., "Every Tuesday at 7 PM").
  2. Copy your unique link.
  3. Paste the link into your WhatsApp or Facebook group description.

That’s it.

Next time someone asks "Is it on?", do not type a paragraph. Do not screenshot the weather app.

Just point to the link.

The Payoff

Eventually, you train your members. Before they text you, they check the link. They see the big green status toggle. They show up.

Your phone stops buzzing with questions, and starts buzzing with people excited to run.

Stop the scroll. Start the sport.
