It’s 2012! Give some visual! We all love to read blogs with beautiful images. So be sure to capture your moments and add them to your posts!

And videos!

So… you bought a GoPro and made a bunch of exciting videos of you in action! Perfect! Publish them on SportCafé! (Publish them on Youtube or Vimeo and use the URL to publish it on SportCafé)

Do I have to pay to use SportCafé?

Of course not! SportCafé is a free tool and will remain free!

We strongly believe that content available online should be free.

We plan to eventually serve quality advertisement on some pages of the site.
Don’t expect to see any annoying pop-ups or ads everywhere.
We will only place ads once we find the perfect way to do it without affecting the reading experience on SportCafé.

How can I unsubscribe from your mailing list?

Go back to your inbox, at the bottom of every message we send, there is a “unsubscribe” link. Click it and follow the steps and you’ll be free from us.

I’m not a National Team athlete, can I still contribute to SportCafé?

Our main goal is to give an audience and exposure to our National Team Athletes. Since the athlete’s community tends to renew itself often, we are also looking to hear and read from youngsters and up & comers that will soon be our Olympians.

If you are not there yet, but will be soon and you are a natural writer, we do want you to write on SportCafé! Submit your application and we’ll review it.
