Since no expensive equipment is required, Virtual Fan Video allows you to live stream all levels (varsity, JV, middle school) of all sports at all venues (home, away, main gym, secondary gym, etc.). Virtual Fan Video is also great for dance, theater, band and other non-sports events. If you want to live stream your games for profit and without spending a penny, Virtual Fan Video is the answer. We could find no other viable solutions that even come close to the value and quality of Virtual Fan Video.
NFHS Network

LiveBarn
www.livebarn.com
LiveBarn promotes its offering to hockey rinks. It is basically the same model as NFHS network in that you have to buy expensive cameras that are not portable. At least LiveBarn is truthful in that it is a venue specific solution. That is great if you own the venue....not so great if you are team that plays in many venues.
The Rest of the Field...There are many other companies in this market that are too numerous to list and clearly not at the same level as those mentioned. Many of these companies don't seem to last very long because they simply cost too much to be a realistic solution for an amateur sports team.

Combining live streaming with fundraising is genious...especially when the team controls the amount they can raise! Virtual Fan Video is clearly the best live streaming solution on the market."
