High School Athletics In Our Community: Shaping The Future

For decades, high school athletics have played a significant role in our community. They have always captured the imagination of our communities and our communities have enthusiastically supported our high school athletic programs. Furthermore, high school athletics have powerfully overcome past economic downturns and societal divisions, and have led the way to unifying communities of people that may not have come together otherwise.

Three years ago, Scholastic Sports Net (SSN) was established to recognize and celebrate the hard work and significant accomplishments of student-athletes to the communities in which they live by utilizing the internet as a hub of high school championship event video delivery. In other words, we televise the events and show them on the web. Go to www.watchssn.com and you can see what we mean.

SSN is proud to have been selected by the Maryland Public Secondary School Athletic Association (MPSSAA) as the official online provider for all Maryland State High School Sports Championship events. By teaming with the MPSSAA, SSN is able to provide high school athletes with the visibility that they have earned and deserve.

Now, there is an opportunity for you and your company to team with SSN and become an integral part of the fabric of the high school athletic community and lend your support to the efforts of the MPSSAA and hard-working student-athletes, their coaches, and their parents -- all of whom are important to your own marketing strategy.

For just $2,500 for the year (just $208.33 a month), you can ensure that the accomplishments of student-athletes from Garrett County to the Eastern Shore will be recognized throughout the Maryland athletic community and beyond.

Memories of the major events in school last a lifetime and by joining with SSN in an effort to capture these memories for the entire athletic community, here's what we’ll provide for you:
> Your 15-second video commercial on every MPSSAA State Championship athletic event broadcast in every sport (more than 50 events per year);
> Your logo shown at least once on every MPSSAA State Championship athletic event broadcast in every sport;
> Your business name on the closing credits of every production;
> A Billboard Banner that will rotate on every page on the SSN website (720x90 pixel) 24/7/365;
> A Secondary Banner that will rotate on every page on the SSN website (300x150 pixel) 24/7/365;
> Inclusion in every SSN press release; and,
> Official recognition of your company as a SSN Partner of High School Athletics.

Last school year, SSN's online championship broadcasts and extended highlight packages were viewed and downloaded more than 600,000 times and our website recorded more than 1.2 million page views.

The high school student-athletes in your community will benefit greatly from your participation. I ensure that every dollar we generate from your involvement with SSN will go directly into the promotion and development of high school athletics and the tremendous student-athletes that participate.
