Getting started

Find a place to play

Choose your city

Use the city switcher at the top of the page (next to the logo) to jump to another city. The map also follows you — pan far enough and it switches city on its own.

Each city shows only the sports played there, so the filter chips and search re-scope the moment you switch.

Find what's near you

Tap the locate button to centre the map on your position and drop a “you are here” dot. With it on, every place shows how far away it is, so the nearest courts and pitches sort to the top.

Your location stays in your browser to position the map — it is never stored or sent anywhere. Tap the button again to turn it off.

Filter by sport

The chips under the top bar are the fastest way to narrow the map. Tap a sport to show only its places; tap it again — or pick All — to bring everything back.

Only sports played in the current city appear. Hide the ones you never play in sport settings to drop them from the chips and the map.

See a place's details and games

Each coloured pin is a place to play, tinted by its sport. Tap one to open its details — opening hours, the sports it offers, and any upcoming games there.

From a place you can follow its sport for a notification when a game starts, or post one of your own. Zoomed out, nearby pins gather into clusters — tap a cluster to zoom in.

Join & post games

Join a game

Games show on the map and on the page of the place they happen at. Open one to see the sport, start time, who’s coming, and the organiser’s note about the level or what to bring.

Joining takes one tap — the organiser sees you’re in, and the game’s messages open up so you can sort out details. If plans change, leave the game and your spot frees up.

Every game you’ve joined or posted lives in your locker under My Events.

Post a game

Tap the + button on the map to post a game: pick the sport, choose the place — search for one or drop a pin where you’ll meet — set a start time and how many people can join, and add a short note.

People nearby who follow that sport get a heads-up as soon as it’s up. It stays your game: edit the details when plans shift, message the people who joined, or cancel if it falls through.

Step-by-step details are in the full guide to posting a game.

Stay in the loop

Follow a sport

Follow a sport and you get a notification whenever someone posts a matching game — no need to keep checking the map.

The quickest way to start is from a place: open it and tap Notify me about future events. For finer control, open Event Tracking in your locker — a basic rule covers a sport wherever it’s played, an advanced one watches only the area around a spot you choose, and every rule can be trimmed to the days and hours you can actually play.

Your notifications

The bell in the top bar opens your notifications: games that match the sports you follow, and news about the ones you’ve joined. Tap one to open the game right there.

The full list lives in your locker under Notifications, split into unread and read.

Get them on your phone or computer

By default you see notifications while you’re on Omelee — in the bell. Turn on push notifications and you’ll also get a heads-up on your phone or computer even when Omelee is closed, so you don’t miss a game while you’re away.

Turn them on from Settings → Permissions, or tap Enable when Omelee offers it. Your phone or computer will ask you to allow it once.

A couple of things worth knowing:

  • If you block notifications when your browser asks, Omelee can’t ask again — you’d turn them back on from your browser’s own site settings for omelee.
  • On iPhone/iPad, add Omelee to your home screen first (Share → Add to Home Screen), then turn on push notifications from there.

You’re always in control: switch push notifications off any time from Settings → Permissions, and the in-app bell keeps working either way.

Make it yours

Settings

Open Settings from the account menu to shape omelee around how you play:

  • Sport selection — keep the sports you play; the rest drop out of the filter chips and the map
  • Notifications — turn browser push on or off (on browsers that support it)
  • Appearance — switch between light and dark, and pick a colour palette
