Playa is a mobile application designed to make sports accessible and fun by helping people find players nearby. Whether you're starting a game, joining an existing one, or booking a venue, Playa simplifies the process. Built in less than a month for the NotJustHack hackathon, it’s an innovative solution for connecting sports enthusiasts.
Playa is now available on the Google Play Store!

Playa is just the beginning. Here’s what we plan to add post-hackathon:
