Tempe, AZ – April 16, 2024 – It is with great pleasure that the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announces today a partnership extension with PlaySight in which PlaySight will continue to be an Official Live Streaming Partner of the ITA.
Building on an alliance that dates back to 2015, the ITA and PlaySight have continued to push the boundaries of live-streaming within college tennis and this partnership extension ensures that one of the industry leaders within our sport continues to have a strong relationship with college programs and fans of the sport across the country.
Trusted by over 100 college programs already, PlaySight has cemented itself as a premier live-streaming solution for programs at every level of our sport as PlaySight cameras can be found at NCAA Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA, and JUCO programs today.
“Personally, and on behalf of the coaches, players, and fans of college tennis, I want to express my appreciation to PlaySight for its continuing commitment to democratize sports technology and its work to promote our sport through technology, including creating new experiences for how tennis can be produced for increased engagement,” said ITA CEO, Dr. Timothy Russell. “As PlaySight continues to evolve from high-end analytics to new live stream and multi-angle broadcast capabilities, including condensed match highlights, our sport is elevated. All friends of college tennis will benefit from PlaySight’s new offerings.”
In recent years, PlaySight has enhanced its services to become more than just a live-streaming solution for programs. Currently, PlaySight offers live scoring integration with apps such as iOnCourt and offers detailed match analytics with data tied to video.
With the launch of PlaySight GoMobile in recent years, the flexibility that programs now have when it comes to live streaming has never been greater. Still maintaining their industry-leading quality, these GoMobile cameras are a perfect fit for any program looking for a quick, easy, and high-quality broadcasting experience – on or off campus.
“We are thrilled to announce the extension of our partnership with the ITA,” stated PlaySight CEO, Chen Shachar. “Since 2015, PlaySight has been at the forefront of transforming coverage of collegiate tennis at all levels.
