Social Networking Site Tourlegends to Connect Sports Teams Worldwide

(I-Newswire) September 7, 2010 - How do you organise a sports tour in another country? How can you manage match results and club fixtures online? How can you raise money for your club or team? A new social networking website, www.tourlegends.com has the answers.

Launching this month in the UK, tourlegends offers sports people, teams and clubs a unique way to connect, share, organise and play sport across the globe.

tourlegends is a free social networking website, offering registered members Facebook-style networking features such as instant messaging and photo and video sharing, along with a wide range of features and tools, specific to sport.

Targeting grass roots team sports, tourlegends provides users with everything they could hope for from a leading social networking platform and more. As well as a host of fun features, including virtual sporting gifts and online fantasy soccer and cricket, the website also provides users with everything they need to organise and manage their club online, including easy-to-use player availability tools, fixture generators and fee collection tools.

Users can add events, arrange and cross reference tour itineraries with teams across the world, search clubs, leagues, games and tournaments, add and review sports venues, and even earn money for their club kitty through the website’s integrated cash back system on purchases made at one of tourlegends’ affiliated sports, travel and lifestyle retail websites.


Launched last year in Singapore, tourlegends has been designed for use by any team sport, and already has thousands of registered users around the globe, servicing teams across sports including rugby, football, hockey, golf, cricket and netball.

tourlegends is the brainchild of serial entrepreneur Nellie Rogers, a former keen netball player turned coach, who’s done the rounds on various sports club, tournament and sports events committees.

Nellie, said: “tourlegends is the first social networking website to combine the fun and playful elements of social networking and banter, with high quality sports specific organisational tools and resources, which could revolutionise the way sports teams and clubs network, arrange tournaments and share information.

“Having been involved in sport throughout my life, tourlegends has been built from the ground up using plenty of user feedback along the lines of ‘wouldn’t it be nice if…’ and wouldn’t it be amazing if we didn’t have to…’

“The website has been designed for use by any team sport, and by setting up a club profile and adding individual player profiles, users can enjoy private banter and fun with their team, as well as making themselves and their club more accessible to the larger online sports community.”

tourlegends works in conjunction with other popular social networking platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, and users can enjoy online integration, opting to update their status across multiple platforms with just one click.

Nellie added: “This is an exciting time for tourlegends. People in the UK are well known for their love of sport and we look forward to welcoming more teams, clubs and individuals from across the country to our rapidly growing online community.”
