Thanks gregates..This seems to work for me actually match 'volleyball' => 'spree/products#index', :defaults => { :sports => '2' } – Daniel Broughan Sep 12 '13 at 15:40

What you need is FriendlyId which is covered in this RailsCasts episode.

Also, [this tutorial](https://gist.github.com/jcasimir/1209730) covers many configurations which you could find useful. I had to place it in reply because I can not post more than 2 links per reply. – Francisco Canela Sep 12 '13 at 15:41

You may want the following route:

get ':sport_id', :to => 'products#show'

class ProductsController < ApplicationController
  def show
    render text: "sport is #{params['sport_id']}"
  end
end
