About Podia
Building stronger communities through sports, one session at a time.
Our Mission
Podia is building a comprehensive sports community platform that connects athletes, parents, coaches, clubs, schools, and government organizations. We're building the infrastructure for grassroots sport activation and participation, and enabling the collaboration of support teams to drive the competitive excellence of athletes.
Our Athletes Mission
“Podia aims to maximize the potential of every athlete by connecting them with the right people and teams at the right time. Every athlete's journey will be different; and we believe that access to sport, facilities, and the right people serves as the foundation to maximize their potential.”
The Platform Transforming Grassroots Sport
Podia is building more than just another sports app – we're creating the foundational infrastructure that grassroots sport has been missing. At its core, Podia connects the entire sports ecosystem: athletes seeking growth, parents managing busy schedules, coaches building their practice, organizations running programs, and communities investing in local sport.
The platform serves as both a marketplace and a community hub. Athletes can discover the right coaches and training opportunities at the right time in their journey. Parents gain a centralized command center for all their children's sports activities. Coaches and trainers access professional tools to build their brand and manage their business. Organizations streamline operations while providing better value to their members.
What makes Podia unique is our focus on the human connections that make sport meaningful. Technology should amplify these relationships, not replace them. We're building tools that help coaches coach better, athletes train smarter, and communities come together around the sports they love.
From recreational players looking for pickup games to elite athletes pursuing scholarships, from volunteer coaches to professional trainers, from local clubs to municipal facilities – Podia is designed to serve every level of sport participation. Because we believe that whether you're playing for fun or competing for championships, you deserve access to the resources, community, and support that help you reach your potential.
Our Commitment to Community Sport
Every feature we build, every partnership we form, and every decision we make is guided by one principle: strengthening the foundation of grassroots sport. We're not just building a platform – we're building the future of how communities engage with sport.
