What is SeriousSports.com?
A directory and guide to the best outdoor and adventure sports outfitters, guides and schools. This is a no-nonsense site that provides the information that enthusiasts are looking for in an easy-to-use format. We've found the best schools and culled the relevant information to get our visitors started on their quest to experience adventure.What Companies Are Described On SeriousSports.com?
Only The Best Outdoor Companies!
As far as we know, SeriousSports.com is the only site that has strict standards for the companies that it showcases - and we are not for sale. Every company on the site must meet the following criteria: - A full-time school/service that has been in business for over 3 years.
- Properly accredited by the appropriate organizations.
- Have received a good write-up in the press and provide at least 3 references (or 5 references if no write-up).
- Be approved/accepted by our panel of experts in their field.
Note: in certain cases we may waive the years in business criteria for unique outdoor opportunities.What Does It Cost To Join SeriousSports.com?
Currently - Nothing!*
Because we are first and foremost committed to creating the ultimate directory, we've taken the un-businesslike approach of including companies (if they're qualified) on our pages without any required fee. However, we do have our costs, so we suggest that companies contribute an annual fee ($145) to help support the site. Approximately 80% of the companies on the site make the contribution, but those that don't (for whatever reason) are treated the same as the others.
