First of its Kind Online Video Sports Community
Contributed by: Patrick Woods on 4/22/2008

Denver Companies Launch the First of its Kind Online Video Sports Community SportZu.tv aims to bridge the communication gap between professional and amateur sports in Colorado and the world.

Denver-based IM&I and SportsHD Productions, have teamed up to launch SportZu.tv, a video based sports community focused on athletes, coaches, and parents, to educate and entertain in a new online venue. David Ehrlich (President of IM&I and former EVP of Kroenke Sports Enterprises) and Matt Bortz (President of SportsHD Productions), have positioned SportZu.tv to address a gap in the recent proliferation of social networks and provide an interactive video community based upon sports. Ranging from tips and drills to game highlights to member uploaded videos from youth sporting events, SportZu.tv is tracking to have the ultimate collection of amateur and professional sports videos online.

SportZu.tv has lined up an impressive list of high-profile Colorado-based professional and amateur partners. Colorado Mammoth General Manager, Steve Govett said, "We are very excited about the partnership with SportZu.tv, this could be the most innovative and exciting approach to growing our sport ever!"

What makes SportZu.tv different is the user's interaction with the video. Ehrlich explains, "SportZu.tv combines and connects professionally produced video and top regional pro teams and athletes with youth sports participants and their user-generated content. It serves as a resource to communicate, learn and connect with new and old virtual and physical teammates in a free, safe, interactive video based community."

SportZu.tv's other competitive advantage is its original video production. SportsHD has produced all the SportZu.tv original video content in high definition with its team partners. "We intend that the SportZu.tv produced content be of the highest quality and both a teaching tool for coaches as well as a source of entertainment for the youth sports audience" stated Bortz.

SportZu.tv has video and marketing partnerships with Altitude Sports and Entertainment, Colorado Crush, Colorado Fusion, Colorado Mammoth, Colorado Rapids, Denver Outlaws, Gold Crown Foundation, Mile High Sports and REAL Colorado.

SportZu.tv plans to launch nationally and internationally this summer. Learn more about SportZu.tv at www.SportZu.tv
