For your club

Your national tournament deserves to be seen

A national tournament means a year of preparation, volunteers who give their all and a town that gets involved.

Our job: making sure all that work is seen, during the live stream and long after.

  • Your volunteers get the credit

    On air during the live stream, then in the description of every video: your president, your team and your volunteers all get a mention.

  • Your club on the mic

    The president, the mayor, volunteers or partners take the mic during the live stream.

  • Your town in the spotlight

    We mention the town on air and show it on screen whenever the venue allows.

  • Leave the broadcast to us

    Our team arrives self-sufficient, with all its own equipment. Your volunteers focus on their competition, and we take care of the rest.

  • An audience report after the event

    Clear figures to show your sponsors and the town council, to help you plan the next edition.
