West Michigan Miracle League Scores with HiCast Sports Network at Meijer Sports Complex

Partnership provides free live streaming to support inclusive youth sports

ROCKFORD, MI, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HiCast Sports Network, a leading video streaming platform for youth and amateur sports, is partnering with the West Michigan Miracle League at the Meijer Sports Complex to deliver high-quality game coverage for 150 Miracle League athletes during the 2025 season.

The partnership includes free live access and a discounted subscription rate for video-on-demand viewing beginning with the upcoming games on May 17, May 31 and June 7.

“This is where technology becomes more than just a tool, it becomes a gift, because families who participate in Miracle League at Nate Hurwitz Field are often stretched emotionally and financially,” West Michigan Miracle League President Tony Comden said. “They carry a daily weight that most never see, and Miracle League gives them a rare moment to breathe while their children can play in a safe, organized environment filled with joy and community support. Now imagine capturing and sharing those moments without the added stress of trying to record them and that’s where HiCast Sports Network stepped in.”

In 2024 alone, the platform streamed more than 8.3 million game minutes across more than 250 livestreams in Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

“Childhood memories are precious and we’re passionate about celebrating the small wins on every playing field. Our automated video coverage lifts one more burden from parents’ shoulders,” HiCast Sports Network Chief Operating Officer Stephanie Calabrese said. “Supporting the West Michigan Miracle League with free access to our live video coverage gives families and friends anywhere in the world an opportunity to cheer on and celebrate these athletes.”

The $13.5 million Meijer Sports Complex has also recently taken advantage of the integrated HiCast Sports Network and SingleScore system on its Championship Stadium and eight diamonds. SingleScore technology allows volunteer scorekeepers to control on-field scoreboards from their mobile device at the venue. With HiCast’s integration, scoreboard data is automatically displayed on livestreams and video-on-demand, ensuring real-time score accuracy and enhancing the viewing experience for athletes, families and fans.

“We’re proud to partner with HiCast to automate the coverage for all of our events here at the complex,” Meijer Sports Complex Manager Bryan Baar said. “The new integration of HiCast and SingleScore dramatically simplifies scorekeeping for our volunteers and greatly enhances the viewing experience for each game at our facility.”

In addition to delivering a premier viewing experience, HiCast offers a unique revenue-sharing model with its venue partners, allowing facilities to generate additional income from subscription sales and advertising while enhancing their value to teams and event organizers. This team-based approach underscores HiCast’s commitment to supporting the growth and sustainability of youth sports nationwide.
