Background
SoccerAds.com is part of the Global Sports Classified Network (GSCN), which is owned and operated by HummerSport, LLC of Virginia, USA. SoccerAds.com is just one of many web sites all over the world that use the GSCN solution to enable their site with sports-related classified ads such as tryouts, player resumes, or tournament listings. ALL ads posted on ANY GSCN member web site are immediately available to users of other relevant GSCN member web sites.
Obviously Basketball tournaments in New York won't show up on a Soccer League site in England, but where the ads do fit, they will be available!
Why SoccerAds.com Was Created
SoccerAds.com was created to increase participation and overall quality of play in our sport by making it easier for everyone involved to find a place to play, coach, or compete. We believe that making it as easy as possible for players, teams, coaches, and their supporting organizations to find each other provides everyone with more choice about where and how they participate. We all know more choice makes it more likely to find the best option, and providing the best options will improve the sport! Much like the internet enabled people to find great jobs through web sites like Monster or CareerBuilder rather than rely on local newspapers alone, we envision SoccerAds.com as solving a major communications gaps that exist in the organized, yet fragmented world of participant sports.
Why The Global Sports Classified Network (GSCN) Is The Answer
By their nature, most grassroots sports organizations are set up to serve a narrow segment of a local region. Many are on shoestring budgets and run purely on volunteer time, so the idea of marketing themselves to non-members is something most would like to do, but simply cannot with such limited resources.
This scenario makes it very difficult for a majority of people who might otherwise be interested in participating in local sports to even know there is an organization right in their back yard to serve them. Most new participants come in through word of mouth, which really puts new area residents at an even bigger disadvantage because it takes them longer to get to know the local people who might inform them about a local league.
Most of these organizations do post openings and available players on their web sites now, but that's sort of like posting a sign in the desert that hardly anyone will see. The GSCN seeks to solve this by tying the Player Listings and Players Wanted sections of individual grassroots web sites into a single global database that is all shared with those very same organizations in return. Of course there are tools to keep tryout as from competing organizations from showing up, but the available players listings are easily shared across any organization.
Add HummerSport's global sports-specific site for each major sport to the GSCN along with all these local grassroots web sites and you will quickly understand how HummerSport and the GSCN will change the world of grassroots sports forever by helping everyone
