Sports Social Network Comenplay.com Announces its Official Media Partners
LONDON, September 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Comenplay.com , the premiere social network for sport, announced today its list of partners formed since the successful launch in the UK of the site especially created for sports enthusiasts. Designed and developed by Asif Qasim, a practising cardiologist with a passion for sport, comenplay.com brings together individuals, teams, clubs, coaches and associations with the central objective of encouraging physical activity. The team behind comenplay.com has been hard at work forming strategic partnerships with major sporting bodies and corporations including Sports England, Physioroom.com, Team Modena, British Military Fitness and Travel Leads. Sports England, the government agency responsible for advising, investing in and promoting community sport to create an active nation, has set up 49 County Sports Partnerships to coordinate community networks and promote sport. By using the comenplay platform, each will have their own network that can be used to connect to local clubs, facilities and teams as well as to the press and public. This will be a huge help in achieving their goal of getting 2 million people more active in sport by 2012 - and making sure that participation is sustained. The Team Modena Racing team has also partnered up with the network. The Team Modena Aston Martin DBR9 bore comenplay.com logos for the first time at Sebring in Florida in March and then in June at the Le Mans 24 Hour, the most famous car race in the world. Team Modena director Rik Bryan, a former long distance runner, said: "I run and cycle regularly, and have a daily exercise routine that I can perform wherever I am. Comenplay gives fantastic support and encouragement to everyone to play more sport and be more active." Comenplay founder Dr Asif Qasim added: "Comenplay.com has a positive and inclusive message encouraging people to play more sport and to be more active. We are delighted that Team Modena is helping us to promote this." The comenplay.com offering is two-tiered and truly unique. For sports clubs and organisations, it provides a platform that gives clubs their own members' network as well as free promotion. Any club or association thinking about redeveloping their website should seriously consider the comenplay option where they have free, flexible web facilities and members' networks that they can manage and control. For individuals it means being part of a network dedicated to a common interest and the product itself is a very functional and relevant one. Members can easily interact with one another, and search by sport, time or location. The site currently has 30,000 users per month with the numbers on the increase. It is rapidly becoming the place to find information on local sports club and facilities. Rest assured that this network is no attempt to capitalise on a currently hot media topic. It is a very user-friendly and useful resource, backed by great ideals and the goal of generating increased levels of activity through connecting sports men and women.
