KeepyUp

The Drop-In Sports Matchmaking App

Connecting players, teams, and venues, anytime, anywhere. Your sport, your squad, your schedule.

Our Story

Founded by James Saad and Jan Mansour

We created KeepieUp because we know what it's like to love the game but struggle to play it consistently. Whether it's finding reliable teammates, dealing with last-minute dropouts, or simply not having the time for fixed league commitments — we've experienced these frustrations firsthand.

Our mission is simple: keep people playing soccer and embrace the love for the game. We believe that everyone should have easy access to play the sport they love, whenever they want, wherever they are. KeepieUp isn't just an app — it's a movement to bring the soccer community together and get more people on the pitch every single day.

For Players

  • Find reliable teammates and opponents on demand
  • Play whenever your schedule allows — no fixed commitments
  • Match with players at your skill level
  • Track your performance and climb the rankings
  • Stay connected with your local soccer community

For Venues

  • Fill empty time slots that would otherwise go unused
  • Reach thousands of active players in your area
  • Streamlined booking system with guaranteed payments
  • Build a loyal customer base through the platform
  • Increase revenue with more consistent bookings

Together, we're creating a thriving ecosystem where players find their game, venues maximize their potential, and everyone gets more people playing soccer every single day.

What We Do

KeepieUp is a mobile app that connects soccer players and teams for casual or competitive games on demand. Users can search for matches nearby, fill missing player spots, or challenge other teams. The platform integrates pitch bookings, rankings, and verified user profiles to create a trusted, gamified sports network.
