TeamSnap, TEAM 1 SPORTS Join Forces for Live Video Streaming

BOULDER, Colorado and LEXINGTON, Kentucky – TeamSnap, used by nearly 7 million people around the world to coordinate their sports and other ongoing activities, announced today an exciting new partnership with TEAM 1 SPORTS, the new ultimate amateur sports digital network, to provide complimentary live video streaming software to all TeamSnap clients.

TEAM 1 SPORTS, a division of Volar Video, a leading digital technology and media company, is providing its Production Truck® Standard Definition Plus (SD+) streaming software solution to all TeamSnap clients allowing users to stream unlimited live events up to 1.2 Mbps, directly from a laptop. Both live and archived broadcasts will be available at no cost to viewers on teams’ respective TeamSnap official websites and apps and will work across all devices - from laptops to tablets to smartphones.

Using TEAM 1’s proprietary Production Truck® technology, users with little-to-no production experience can produce high-quality broadcasts featuring multi-camera switching, customizable graphic overlays, instant replay, social media clip sharing, dynamic mid-roll video ad insertion, and more. TeamSnap users will also be rewarded with TEAM 1 merchandise for reaching production goals, and viewers will have the opportunity to compete in a variety of contests for similar prizes.

Additionally, all broadcasts will be automatically syndicated on TEAM 1 SPORTS, which launched July 15 in partnership with Sporting News Media. This exciting new network is poised to become the ultimate digital destination for all amateur athletics and offers a user-generated platform to showcase amateur sports organizations and athletes to the world.
