Once your game is created, your group can communicate with other players and discuss the event like position assignments or trash talking. Is your star QB, Uncle Harry, injured this year? Use Sportsvite to recruit other teammates in your neighborhood through the bulletin board section. Football is the third most popular sport on the site so finding a "free agent" should be easy. Likewise, if your family is sitting this year out, use the boards to find a pick-up football game to join.

With more than 140 sports and activities, Sportsvite isn't just limited to football. The most popular team sports are softball, basketball, soccer, volleyball; popular activities include hiking, fitness training, bowling, billiards, and swimming. So if a football game isn't for your family, try a different sport such as Ultimate Frisbee, create your own tradition like a softball tournament or Wiffle Ball game-or challenge other teams and host a Turkey World Series. Sportsvite recently added 15 new sports upon request from the Sportsvite Community that range from Cornhole to Capture The Flag so there's something for everyone this holiday season.
