Training and Support
Each partner school is exactly that: a partner.
The SaddleRock Sports Network equips trains each production crew in the skills they need to get started, and provides ongoing materials and support throughout the sports seasons.
Technical Gear Education and Training
Creating a quality sports broadcast requires some very specific gear and equipment. We provide hands-on training of how to setup, connect , and operate all of the pieces of the broadcast equipment puzzle:
-

Gear and equipment are only half of what makes a great broadcast. We train our announcers in how to professionally talk their way through a game in way that engages audiences and highlights player’s accomplishments.
Weekly Marketing Materials
The SaddleRock Sports network will provide weekly marketing materials that each school or group can use to post on their social networks, school websites, or email blasts to let their fans and communities know about their upcoming weeks.
