Last Updated on October 6th, 2020
There are many types of sports websites. Websites made for clubs, sports teams, individual sportsmen are some of them. However, all sports websites have a few common featured pages that are essential. They have been listed below.
-
Newsletter
A newsletter section or a dedicated feature page for the same is an absolute necessity for a sports website. The newsletter is to be used for regular updates and fresh news regarding the team/individual.
-
Social Multimedia pages
The main purpose of a sports website is to capture fans for the team/individual and catchy images, promotions and interactive videos help generate fan engagement on a massive scale.
-
Team Roster/Athlete Profiles
Detailed sections regarding the team roster and its important members are a good way to showcase transparency. This part also includes personal data on the athletes and their profiles.
-
Event Calendar
A dedicated calendar to showcase upcoming games and events is one of the most important pages for a sports website.

Team History
This section is a replacement for the ‘about’ section of the website. More required for a club or a team, this section encloses the detailed history, vision and the inspiration behind a team. The better the team history, the more support a team generates.

Why you need to make a sports website?
A team/athlete is only as good as people’s perception of it. The team might have excellent players and excellent management but unless it has the support of its fans, the morale will always be low. Most sports teams are respected because of the perception of its fans rather than the achievements of said team.
A website helps a team control the narrative on the perception of people and a good website allows you to turn the audience into your fans. A website along with social media is an excellent way to generate hype for the team and allows fans to connect with fans more than other forms of media ever will.
From a business standpoint, a website can be used to sell authentic team related merchandise and tickets for upcoming games. It can also be used to generate crowdfunds for social causes which further helps perception for teams.
