about double drummer

Double Drummer is your online sports community – a place to meet other people who want to start (or continue) an active lifestyle.

Find sports partners, social groups, sports teams, activities you can do, coaches, trainers, sports centres and sports clubs in your local area. You can search for:

  • playing partners - a hitting partner or someone to enjoy a sport or new activity with
  • activities & events - things to do with one person or a group, a team you can join, a regular social activity, a big event in which to participate or sporting events to watch
  • professional services - coaches, trainers, clubs to join, injury treatment, diet & nutrition specialists, etc.
  • sport facilities - sports centres, sports clubs, playing fields, gyms, etc.
  • sport & health products - sports equipment, clothing, health products, travel services, tours, etc.

If you know exactly who or what you're looking for, Double Drummer allows you to be very specific - search by sport(s), gender, age, playing standard, location, etc.. But if you don't know what you're after and just want to know what's happening in your local area, simply enter your suburb and let Double Drummer show you all players and activities happening in your area.

You can also post an activity you'd like to do or already doing and invite others to join your group or team. This feature is also handy when you're looking for reserves and members to complete your sports team.

Why join in the fun?

If you’re time poor, you want to get healthy (or healthier), you’d rather meet people through sport than in a bar, you’ve just relocated here from overseas, the kids have left home and you’re free to spend more time doing your own thing… or a hundred other reasons, Double Drummer is for you.    

Put simply, Double Drummer is the best and most inexpensive way to find sports partners to play with in your area. It costs you nothing to join… nothing to search… and you pay just $1 for contacting those people you most want to meet.

For example, if you’re looking for a B grade standard female squash player aged 31-40 years old, living in the Hills district of Sydney who’s available for social hits on a Monday night, you pay nothing to search and only $1 to make a first contact. (After that, it’s up to the two of you!) And if you contact a Seller (e.g. a coach, sports club, physio, sports facility, etc.) you pay absolutely nothing!

Double Drummer also supports relevant non-profit organisations - like Guy Leech's favourite charity, The Heart Research Institute; and Diabetes Australia – as well as others that use sport to help disadvantaged kids and communities.

Double Drummer will cater for people who are into any of around 600 different sports or other activities from Abseiling to Zorbing. (Never heard of ‘zorbing’?
