Live streaming has hit Kiwi grassroot sports, with the New Zealand Secondary Schools Super 8 Competition set to be the guinea pig for a worldwide viewing platform.
The competition will be involved in the pilot launch for the new Kiwi-designed SidelineApp, which allows people hoped to widen the reach for local sports.
Online streaming has become a popular way for fans to watch sports, with many major leagues and competitions around the world offering online viewing platforms.
App creator Luke Thompson said the platform, which came with a small charge to users, would empower schools to take ownership of their content and ensure fans never miss a match.
"In the same way Uber mobilises people to become taxi drivers, SidelineApp wants to turn everyday sports fans into live sports broadcasters," he said.
