Servecast, Europe's leading supplier of broadband
video solutions to the sports and media industries,
has extended its contract with Everton Football
Club by hosting all video content on the Everton
Academy's website evertonway.com. This new service
offers hundreds of video clips and audio commentaries
of Everton Academy training sessions.
This new initiative serves as a coaching tool
for football clubs, coaches and players. The site
currently offers in excess of 40 hours of video
clips and with regular updates provides introductions
and advice on a wide range of topics including
sport science, recruitment, education, welfare
and physiotherapy.
Head of Communications at Everton FC, Mark Rowan
said: "There is huge potential to develop
the game across North America, Canada, Australia
and many other global territories. Our proven
academy programme provides quality football knowledge
to coaches and players across the world. Partnering
with Servecast enables us to extend the Academy
via on demand video streaming to those who may
not otherwise be in a position to attend the Academy"

"Servecast has an established relationship
with Everton Football Club as it manages Everton
TV, the club's online TV platform. This additional
service is a testament to the ever-improving service
we offer Everton. Making the Everton Academy available
on line via video streaming gives other clubs,
coaches, players and enthusiasts across the globe
an opportunity to not only view "behind the
scenes" of a Premiership club, but also attain
exclusive knowledge on techniques and welfare."
