Over the following weekends, MHSAA Finals in Boys and Girls Lacrosse (June 12), Girls Soccer (June 18-19) and Semifinals and Finals in Baseball and Softball (June 17-19) will be streamed live. All events will be archived for on-demand viewing after their completion.
The Lacrosse, Baseball/Softball and Girls Soccer events also will have live streaming audio on the MHSAA Network.
The coming two weeks also will feature pre-Finals games produced by MHSAA members participating in the School Broadcast Program. Today (June 2) features 10 Lacrosse Regional games on the broadcast schedule; click for listings: GIRLS | BOYS
Now in its 13th year, the School Broadcast Program gives members an opportunity to showcase excellence in their schools by creating video programming of athletic and non-athletic events with students gaining skills in announcing, camera operation, directing/producing and graphics. Pixellot – the NFHS Network’s automated streaming solution – is used by schools wishing to live stream games but lacking the ability to staff the events. The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.
NFHS Network subscriptions begin at $10.99 per month. Subscribers will have access to all live video and on-demand video from across the country. School Broadcast Program participants benefit as a portion of every subscription sold by a school goes to benefit its program. (Subscriptions must be cancelled before the 30-day period is over to avoid recurring charges.)
