Sportz is a free, multi-page Bootstrap 4 HTML5 website template designed specifically for sports-related websites. Built on Bootstrap v4.1.3, it ships as six static HTML files with CSS/SCSS source files, JavaScript source files, and font icons. Created by Colorlib and distributed through ThemeWagon, it provides a complete front-end foundation for a sports club, team, or league site, with a live preview available on GitHub Pages.
What is Sportz?
Sportz is a multi-page, responsive sports website template that outputs a static HTML/CSS website. It takes clean, editable HTML and SCSS files as input and produces a ready-to-deploy front-end with a full-screen hero slider, parallax backgrounds, match countdown, and a tabbed scoreboard. The template runs entirely in the browser, requires no server-side processing, and is compatible with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and mobile browsers.
Key Features
- Bootstrap v4.1.3 — The entire layout is built on Bootstrap 4, with responsive grid and utility classes for mobile-first design.
- Full-screen hero slider with parallax effect — The header features a full-screen slider with Stellar.js parallax scrolling, letting you showcase match highlights or sponsor imagery.
- Date countdown — A jQuery Countdown plugin displays a live countdown to the next match, configurable via data attributes.
- Tabbed match scoreboard — Animated tabs display match scores and game details, built with jQuery UI tabs.
- Multi-level drop-down menu — Navigation supports nested dropdowns for organizing pages such as team, fixtures, and news.

- Newsletter and contact form UIs — Ready-made newsletter subscription and contact form interfaces (no backend), plus a footer widget area and pagination UI.
Who is it for?
Sportz targets anyone building a sports-related website without writing code from scratch. Local sports clubs can replace the placeholder content to announce fixtures, results, and news. Web designers or agencies can use it as a quick starting point for client projects and customize the SCSS files to match brand colors. Sports bloggers or hobbyists can set up a visually rich site for a favorite team in an afternoon.

How does Sportz work?
Sportz is a static HTML template. Download the zip, unzip it, edit the HTML files and the SCSS source files (compiled to CSS), then open the main index.html in a browser or deploy the folder to any static web host. No build step or server-side processing is required; all interactions are handled by included JavaScript libraries.
