BallerTV’s COVID-19 Response

BallerTV is putting safety first and providing tools for contactless recruiting.

COVID-19 has major implications for youth sports. BallerTV plans to lead the charge in connecting families and communities with live video of competitions as soon as it is safe for athletes to return to play.

BallerTV is committed to safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the safety of our community of athletes, their loved ones and every member of our team. We are strictly adhering to state and local shelter-in-place orders for all of our team members nationwide, and have implemented work-at-home solutions for all of our staff.

This emphasis on health and safety has led to BallerTV postponing live event coverage until we are assured it is safe to do so.

With that being said, BallerTV is on a mission to connect families and communities everywhere through the unifying power of live sports — and our mission is made even more imperative in these unprecedented times.

The moment we get the clearance from event directors, our nationwide network of BallerTV event staff will be back to work, ready with all necessary safety precautions to deliver streams to our fans at home. We know how important it is for our athletes’ loved ones to see them play, and we want to provide a way to watch those games in the safest way possible.

In light of the recent changes to NCAA recruiting contact rules, BallerTV remains one of the most thorough ways for recruiters and college coaches to review full-game footage of players—and our robust network of hundreds of coaches and scouts registered on BallerTV are already making use of our library of footage.

With the NCAA altering its recruiting dead period to comply with public health orders, college coaches are beginning to turn to other methods of evaluating athletes. This includes the hundreds of coaches already on BallerTV, many of whom are our most active users.

Fighting adversity is built into our DNA. BallerTV and the youth sports community will emerge from this stronger — and we are committed to making the most of this time to deliver a cutting-edge experience for our members when games start back up. To stay in the loop on what’s happening and see highlights, follow us on Twitter and Instagram @BallerTV or give us a like on our Facebook Page.

Be sure to check back on our Medium for more updates as the COVID situation progresses, including insights from leaders in the athletic sports community.

We’ll be in touch, and we wish you safety and the best of health.
