About YourSports™

YourSports (YS) is the premiere national online broadcast network for high school and
club sports empowering teams and leagues to finally monetize 100% of its media rights.

Most recently, YS broadcasted 32 games LIVE from the Hoopfest tournament
in Spokane, producing $2,250 in new revenue for the tourney from its broadcast
rights. Hoopest is the largest 3-on-3 hoops tourney in the world with 26k+ athletes.

This Fall, YS will syndicate 16 episodes of its fan-voted highlight show onto Comcast
ON DEMAND in ~700k Seattle-area homes. The videos are submitted by fans, voted
on by the YS community, and then recognized on the weekly YourSports10.

YourSports is changing the economics for all of amateur sports.

About the I Love Baseball Foundation

YourSports sponsors the I Love Baseball Foundation (ILB) -- a non-profit organization started in April '06 by Ben Holman and YS Founder Chris McCoy. Inspired by baseball mission trips to Latin America, the ILB exists to empower impoverished communities worldwide through the game of baseball. Our first project is in Barahona, Dominican Republic.

If you're interested in getting involved, either through donating money, playing baseball in the D.R., or donating tools for field improvements, e-mail benjamin@ilovebaseball.org. Visit www.ilovebaseball.org to learn more about about the ILB.
