Livestreaming sports platform installed at Slippery Rock Area School District

SLIPPERY ROCK TWP — Friends, family and fans can soon watch live sporting events from Slippery Rock Area High School on their phones or computers, wherever they are.

“The easiest way ... if you have a phone or any type of smart device, is downloading the NFHS app, so that you can watch it anywhere,” said Brienna Simons, Slippery Rock school district’s athletic director, at the school board meeting Monday night.

NFHS, or the National Federation of State High School Associations, is a digital platform used to livestream high school athletics and performing arts programs. Currently, the NFHS app enables livestreaming of 30 different kinds of sports across the country, according to a description of the app on Google Play.

The school district installed cameras in the gymnasium, so basketball games are already available to stream, superintendent Alfonso Angelucci said after the meeting. Though the district hasn’t yet placed cameras in the stadium, it plans to have these installed in time for football season, he said.
