SPORTSQUARE CONCEPT

Why SportSquare?

SportSquare – uses the latest technologies to provide innovative and new on line services to sport clubs. These services add a whole new dimension for clubs to extend and enrich the club sport experience for all their stakeholders.  We capture action on the playing field and make this available on a club specific community web portal managed by SportSquare. The services enable people to review their sport actions on the web portal and share and extend their sport experiences with other community members. The community includes players, trainers, coaches, club members, family and friends. Within this club specific community a range of social media services allow members to watch, review, mark, comment, discuss and rate actions on the playing field. This extends and intensifies the club sport experience providing club members with an educational, motivational and interactive learning and communication tool.

 

How does it work?

Digital cameras are positioned next to a sport field and record the sport activities. Afterwards these activities are uploaded to the SportSquare portal.  Typically within 24 hours the club members can access this on the portal. They can then find, view, rate and comment the uploaded sport actions.

For whom is it meant?

For which sports?

For the pilot we have chosen field hockey. But the concept is suited for any sport, and we look forward to support your sport as well. Just contact us.
