Frequently Asked Questions:

Why should I use SportsBeat instead of Facebook?

SportsBeat is designed to showcase the high school athlete and their specific sports related experiences. While Facebook is great for general social networking, it does not focus on the importance of statistics, individual and team experiences, the buildup and aftermath of each game/event and networking with fellow high school athletes. SportsBeat documents a high school student's athletic career and their growth throughout the most developmental part of their lives.

How do I get friends?

You don't have friends on SportsBeat; you have Teammates. You are automatically linked to every member of your team once they join. Get your teammates on the site and open up your team experience for everyone to see.

Can I only interact with my teammates?

Nope! High school athletes are part of a special culture and SportsBeat creates a platform for all of you to interact. Anybody who is a registered athlete with SportsBeat can interact with other athletes anywhere in the country. Send them a message or post on their Beat (they will have to approve your post if it's on The Beat). You can also follow any athlete on the site. Once you select to follow an athlete from their profile page, you will see their posts appear on The Beat every time you log in.

Yes. SportsBeat is set up so that you can invite your email contacts if you have a G-Mail account.

What if I am not a High School Athlete? Can I still be on Sports Beat?

Absolutely! SportsBeat currently has user accounts for fans so you can follow your friends, family, and favorite athletes. Coming soon, there will be interactive profiles for coaches, alumni, as well. Each will have a unique user experience designed to parallel their role in high school athletics.

What should I do if I cannot find my sport or my school?
