About Local Sports Arena

Our Story: The Spark Behind the Screen

As a father of three in a family that loves playing sports, I consistently faced the challenge of finding time to watch games amidst work and childcare responsibilities. My wife plays rugby, and I often found myself either at home with the kids, occupied by work, or, if I did manage to get to a match with them, my attention would be more on the children than on the game itself.

This personal experience fueled a desire to watch these games, whether live streamed or as recorded highlights. It also made me consider how many others, like distant relatives of players or coaches, miss out on the action due to geographical separation from their loved ones.

The Challenge: Bridging the Gap for Fans and Clubs

While technology like the Veo cam is becoming more common, allowing some clubs to record their games, the astronomical cost associated with such equipment is a significant hurdle for many. This financial barrier limits the ability of grassroots clubs to share their passion and talent with a wider audience.

Our Innovation: A New Lens on Local Sport

Motivated by these challenges, I embarked on a mission to develop a unique ball-tracking camera system. The goal is to empower clubs with decent quality footage for crucial game analysis and to share those memorable moments with family, friends, and the broader community. This technology is currently in development, and I am actively working on incorporating deeper analytical capabilities directly within the device.

The Website's Mission: Connecting You to the Action

This website is an extension of that mission, aiming to make local sport accessible to everyone. Local Sports Arena is here to help you discover local clubs, find their websites, and hopefully, encourage you to become part of the action, whether by joining a team or cheering from the sidelines. My goal is for this platform to be your go-to resource for everything local sports.

Our Ultimate Goal: Fair Tech, Accessible Sport for All

Looking ahead, the ultimate ambition is to produce an advanced ball-tracking and statistical analysis camera suitable for sports like netball, rugby, and football. Most importantly, this technology will be offered at a fair and reasonable price, ensuring it is accessible to all clubs, regardless of their size or budget. We believe in leveling the playing field, making it easier for everyone to connect with and celebrate the spirit of local sport.
