Irvine, CA – January 5 – Game On Live Studio (GOLS) and USA Water Polo announced today they have entered into a three-year agreement for GOLS to become an official content and streaming partner for the governing body's elite age group competition. This includes the Junior Olympics and Olympic Development Program alongside additional national championship events.
Already a long-time collaborator, GOLS handled production for the 2023 Junior Olympics, Rock-tober PCA 12 & Under Classic and the Kap7 Champions Cup. GOLS is also the home for a variety of other USA Water Polo sanctioned events including Futures Water Polo League and Super Finals and the 6-8 Sports Collegiate Showcases.
The new partnership kicks-off this January 12-14 at the 2024 ODP Regional Championship in Dallas, TX. The event features all USA Water Polo ODP Zones outside of California and Hawaii and GOLS will provide coverage of every match throughout the weekend. This competition and all events can be
streamed live or viewed on-demand at GOLS.co with full-session passes alongside highlight reels and pre-sale opportunities available.
"Water polo is one of the great youth sport growth stories of the past decade, and Game On Live Studio streaming options will make Junior Olympic and other games available nationally," said Chris Ramsey, CEO of USAWP. "This is great for our sport and for fans of the game looking for more chances to tune in."
"Game On Live Studio, a Utah based company, was born from an opportunity to highlight and grow water polo at a grassroots level and has grown into a national endeavor. The sport of water polo is the core DNA of our organization and has been the foundation of our growth and success. We could not be more excited to partner with USA Water Polo in this groundbreaking three-year deal to showcase athletes across the country. This partnership is literally one of my lifelong goals and dreams and is a significant waypoint on my personal quest to grow and highlight the sport I love," said Shawn Stringham, Game On Live Studio Founder & CEO.
