About SportsGrid

We are a collective of multi-skilled professionals, passionate about improving the sports industry in Australia.

Through our years of experience in working with a multitude of sports at a variety of levels (from grassroots clubs to state and national bodies), we've come to identify gaps in the current infrastructure.

SportsGrid aims to bridge those gaps by bringing together multiple aspects of sports management, thus creating a 'one stop shop' for sports.

Our team is wholly committed to create a multi-faceted 'sports ecosystem' where sporting organisations can collaborate, share, and grow together.
