Splash Sports, one of the fastest-growing peer-to-peer fantasy sports platforms in the United States, is expanding its reach into community sports programming. With more than 2 million active users across its family of platforms, including RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool, it offers athletic and recreation professionals a ready-made digital engagement tool that turns casual spectators into invested participants.
As athletic departments and community sports organizations seek new ways to deepen participant engagement beyond game day, Splash Sports provides a platform purpose-built for group competition. The platform's commissioner model allows the program coordinators to create branded contests, manage entries, and distribute real-money prizes without the administrative burden of collecting and tracking payments manually.
Unlike traditional daily fantasy sports apps that pit users against algorithms and professional optimizers, they are built around peer-to-peer play. Participants compete against friends, teammates, and fellow community members in formats like Survivor pools, Pick'em, Tiers, One & Done, and QuickPicks.
Splash Sports covers all major professional and collegiate sports, including the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, PGA, NCAAF, and NCAAB. The platform supports multiple contest formats that can be adapted for a range of program sizes and engagement goals. Commissioners earn rewards for organizing contests, and the platform handles secure payment collection, automated scoring, live leaderboards, and prize payouts. The built-in chat feature supports real-time and community interaction, while the mobile-first design ensures accessibility for participants on the go.
The platform is currently available in more than 40 states and across Canada, with operations regulated in compliance with local fantasy sports laws. For athletic facilities and recreation departments seeking to maintain engagement beyond the traditional season calendar, Splash Sports offers year-round programming across all major sports. A college recreation department could run NFL Survivor pools in the fall, March Madness brackets in the spring, and PGA Tiers contests in the summer, keeping participants connected to the program throughout the year.
More Info: Founded in 2021 by TJ Ross and Joel Milton, the company also operates RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool, which together serve more than 2 million active users. Backed by leading venture capital firms, including Accomplice, Boston Seed Capital, Acies Investments, Dream Ventures and Velvet Sea Ventures. The platform is available on iOS, Android, and web at splashsports.com.
