- Or post your own Match Requests™ and let others come to you.
- Sports MatchMaker instantly connects people together in your local area or throughout the world, while you're traveling. What good is social networking online if it doesn't offer a wholesome and immediate reason to get together in person? SMM does.
- No better way to improve your quality of life, than with more health, fitness, adventure and social activity.

- Sports MatchMaker connects everyone, for all sports/activities, such as tennis, golf, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, scuba diving, chess, poker, dancing, jogging, cooking, speaking foreign languages... If we don't have it - you simply add it.
- Do you like certain sports and activities but can't always find people to play with on the days and times of your choosing? Or, perhaps, you're looking for new partners to play with? SMM will help.
- Are you a sporting enthusiast looking for challenging partners to practice with and improve?
- Use SMM to find people at or above your level of play. Why get mismatched in golf by the clubhouse when you can use SMM to handpick your group with people at your level who are more interesting/appropriate/challenging to play with!
- Many business deals are struck on the golf course, tennis courts, etc. Use SMM to search for people by their occupation, challenge them, make business contacts, and close some deals.
- Are you retired and would like to meet others who enjoy your favorite sports and activities? Let SMM help.
- Are you single and looking, but don't want the embarrassment, lonely-heart stigma or pressure of posting your face on a "dating service" site, wasting much time to digitally screen folks for a risky "date" with someone you've never even met before?
- The more natural, healthy and effective way is to quickly join a sporting match at a public facility (singles match or group match), and, if after your match you are mutually interested in someone, further activities/socializing is always your option. No matter what, at least you got a good workout and are staying fit, right?
- Singles date matchmaking is really a niche service of comprehensive sports/activities/social networking for everyone. Real life is comprehensive. Most people naturally meet their mate when they are engaged in all aspects of life, not specifically searching for 'the one'. Isn't it a bit forced and unnatural to search for a long-term love-partner in a dating service bubble, specifically designed to arrange "dates" for singles only? Like everyday life, Sports MatchMaker is more natural and comprehensive than that.
- Are you married and looking for other married couples who share your interests, or who have kids the same age, with the same interests?
- Tired of the singles crowd getting all the online matchmaking services? SMM can now escort the married and committed into a fuller, healthier, more enriched lifestyle.

FUN FACTS
There are over 100 million people in the U.S. alone who frequently participate in sports/activities. Males average a 54.4% participation rate for all sports, while females average a 46.2% participation rate (females participate in sports much more than they care to visit a sports news Website).
SPORTS MATCHMAKER AND CHARITY
The Arizona Parks and Recreation Association (APRA) and Sports MatchMaker® have entered into a partnership. Since SMM was first conceived and developed for a philanthropic cause for youth, it is fitting that we join forces in bringing a needed recreational service to all, and thereby funding youth athletics and other youth-achievement programs. These funds are to be generated by the SMM service - a portion of which will be allocated to support the APRA and other youth related programs. We believe financially helping families enroll their children into character building sports, arts and other programs, goes a long way in shielding them from the negative forces found on the streets. As the world's future is in the hands of our children, we can think of no better investment.
