Imagine a place kids could go where they weren’t distracted by their phones. Imagine seeing their “game faces” as they participate in playing a team sport. Imagine looking around and seeing family & friends cheering them on, glancing up at the video board every few seconds to check the score & stats as sponsor advertisements cycle through.
How would you feel if you were a kid walking onto a ballfield and seeing a brightly lit video board at your game? You’d feel like a big-time sports star!
“I’ve coached sports all my life. I know what value this program can bring. The things that kids learn from being a part of a team are the things they take with them the rest of their life. The great thing about Youth Scoreboards is we’ve taken kids off the phones, off their game and videos and put them out here in the field. If they want to see a video – they can see that video on the scoreboard.” -Coach Barry Switzer
Improving ballfields to generate more excitement and retention in youth sports along with growing businesses in the community is exactly what Barry Switzer and business partner Mike Henry had in mind when they started Youth Scoreboards in 2018.
What they found when they began building this idea of Youth Scoreboards was pretty astounding — when you combine the average attendance of the NFL, NCAAF, and MLB together, the numbers don’t even come close to youth baseball and softball attendance! As an advertiser, you have a unique opportunity to help struggling sports complexes; making a positive impact in the community while presenting your business to a large captivated audience of potential new consumers.
