This document outlines a mobile application called PlayFinder that aims to bring urban communities together through sports by allowing users to find nearby sports partners with similar interests, availability, and skill level. The app will use geo-location, sports interests, date/time, and proficiency level to match users. There is an existing market for localized sports partner finding apps. PlayFinder differentiates by supporting multiple sports across platforms to be more broadly applicable and scalable. Continued development and partnerships will be needed to fully realize the project.
