Watch your team play over the internet!
Selected NSC soccer, hockey, figure skating, cycling and other events will be webcast throughout the year.
This unique offering in the amateur sports world allows those unable to attend the tournament the opportunity to watch their children, grandchildren, relatives or friends participate in NSC events. The games will be available live and also on an archived basis, so players, parents and others who are there in person can still watch the webcasts at a later time.
In the past, the NSC partnered with an outside vendor to provide webcasts of a small number of events. Beginning with NSC Cup in May, the NSC will take over webcasting operations ourselves, enabling us to offer a wider range of programming to our customers and to improve service.
Please visit the National Sports Center’s webcasting website at www.NSCwebcast.tv for more information or call us at 763.238.1702.
