We started in 2015 covering local games. Now we help people across 40+ countries build reporting skills that actually work in modern sports media.

Learn sports journalism through real assignments

Our workshops focus on what you'll actually do: covering games live, conducting post-match interviews, writing match reports under deadline pressure. You work with real scenarios, get feedback from working journalists, and build a portfolio that shows what you can do.

Sports journalism workshop in action

What you'll use to learn

We built these tools based on how sports journalists actually work. Everything runs in your browser, syncs across devices, and works with the content formats you'll encounter in real newsrooms.

Live game simulator

Practice live reporting with our game event feed that mimics real match situations. Get random events, make editorial decisions, write under time pressure.

Interview transcriber

Work with actual interview recordings from athletes and coaches. Transcribe quotes, identify the usable material, practice attribution and context.

Video analysis workspace

Break down game footage with timestamp markers, frame-by-frame review, and annotation tools. Learn to spot the details that make stories work.

Copy editor

Submit your work through our editing system. Get detailed markup on structure, clarity, and style. Track your revisions and see how your writing improves over time.

Peer review system

Review work from other participants using the same criteria professional editors use. Give feedback, discuss approaches, learn from different perspectives.

Deadline calendar

Manage your workshop assignments with a calendar that shows deadlines, submission windows, and scheduled feedback sessions. Works across time zones.

How you interact with the content

People learn differently depending on schedule, goals, and where they're starting from. We offer three approaches that address the most common situations we see.

Self-paced learning interface
