What is Sports Bench?

Sports Bench is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily turn your website into a sports website. You can add in teams, players, games and even playoff brackets and the plugin does the rest for you. You can show off cool scoreboards, standings, stats and so much more. It works with any theme but you can purchase the theme as well to get going in just minutes.

Make your website look great with the theme

While Sports Bench is designed to work with any theme, if you want your league website to look the absolute best it can, you can also purchase the Sports Bench theme. It has all of the integration with the plugin built in. That means there’s no extra work you need to do to get started. Just install both and start adding players, teams and games and get going.

Team pages

Want to easily display all of the information for a team? Sports Bench automatically creates team pages that show the stats, roster, schedule and so much more for each team in your league.

Player pages

Want to easily display all of the information for a player? Sports Bench automatically creates player pages that show the stats and much more for each player in your league.

Standings

Standings can be a pain to deal with manually. But with Sports Bench, you can let the plugin update the standings automatically and always stay up-to-date with who’s in first place in your league.

Stats

Stats are a mess to calculate, especially if there are a lot of games. But Sports Bench takes care of that automatically. It will calculate how many goals a player has scored or the ERA for a pitcher. No extra work for you.

Scoreboard

Show off your latest or upcoming games with the Sports Bench scoreboard. You can create a page for the scoreboard or add the widget to your sidebar. Or best off all, you can have a scoreboard bar at the top of each of your pages.

Playoffs

Playoffs are where the magic happens for any league. And Sports Bench makes it easy for you to create playoff brackets that show the way for any team to make their way to the championship.

Box Scores

Box scores tell the tale of every game in your league. Sports Bench can create those box scores for you automatically, showing who scored, what the team stats breakdown was and how each player did in the game. It’s a great way to go inside the game.

Widgets

Want to show snippets of information in the sidebar of each page? No problem. Sports Bench comes with standings, scoreboard, stats leaderboard and team schedule blocks that you can use on your website.

Blocks/Shortcodes

Want to show information about a player, team, game or rivalry, or want to not use any code to set up something like the team page? Sports Bench comes with a number of blocks and shortcodes that allow you to do that in mere seconds.

CSV Import/Export

Want to easily upload a lot of players, teams, etc. information to Sports Bench? Simply turn it into a CSV file and upload it to the website. It will be added, saving you a lot of time and frustration. And if you need to export anything for any reason, you can quickly do that as well.

WP REST API Integration

Are you a developer looking to add more functionality to the website through the WP REST API? Sports Bench comes with REST API integration baked in, allowing you to do so much more with the plugin and create cool things.

Divisions

Sports Bench makes it easy to organize teams via conferences and/or divisions. Simply add the division or conference and then sort the teams into them.

Plugin

Turn your website into a sports website in just minutes with the Sports Bench plugin. It’s built to work with any WordPress themes, though you’ll have to add in some shortcodes and/or widgets to get things to display right. And you’ll be able to easily manage the players, teams, games and so much more for your sports league.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Sports Bench support multiple sports on the same site?

Sports Bench only supports one sport on a site at the same time. That’s just how the plugin is written. If you would like to show multiple sports, you could create a WordPress Multisite install, with a different sport on each subsite (similar to the demos).

Why is Sports Bench split into a plugin and a theme?

In the WordPress ecosystem, plugins should add functionality and themes should only add designs. For Sports Bench, the theme only adds a design to the website, while the plugin adds all of the sports league functionality. That way, if you ever want to change your theme or create a custom theme, you can do so without losing any of your sports data.

Is the Sports Bench plugin compatible with my theme?

Ideally it should be compatible with your theme. But that is also dependent on how your theme is created. If the theme is built up-to-WordPress standards (which includes any themes in the WordPress theme directory), then you shouldn’t have any issues. But the theme isn’t built right, you might run into issues.

I want to extend the plugin to match what I need. How do I do that?

Sports Bench already does a lot of what you need for your website. But if you need to extend it even further, be sure to check out the Documentation for the classes, functions and filters you need to customize the plugin.

I’m having trouble getting started. Can you help me?

If you’re having trouble getting started with Sports Bench, check out the starting guide that accompanies the plugin zip file or check out our how to guides to get started.

What sports does Sports Bench support?

Sports Bench currently supports baseball, basketball, football, hockey, rugby, soccer and volleyball. More sports might be added over time.
