The evolution and implementation of technology in high school sports has transformed how we administer, strategize and officiate in sports.
For the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) careful strategic implementation is key. Managing 785 member schools and 38 state championships means managing innovative technology and ensuring its done right for student athletes, coaches, officials and administrators.
So where do we start? In just the last ten years alone, NYSPHSAA has integrated numerous technological methods in interscholastic athletics.
One big change starting in 2019 was partnering with PlayOn Sports, a streaming partner that provides broadcasts of all State Championship events. The access of content and viewing experience has reached new levels that high school sports have never seen before. From advancements of technology to implementation of its robotic cameras, PlayOn Sports is improving the streaming experience for all viewers. A new technological feature announced by the company for the upcoming 2025-2026 football season will include first down and scrimmage lines for their streams.
“We’re enhancing our fan experience by improving player and gameplay tracking, but most important, generating post-event content,” says Logan Teffertiller, “PlayOn!” video lab manager. “We’re already well underway to create useful tools and automation for schools to present content to fans. As we work with our product, we will get more accurate and content experiences will be even better.”
Practice and competition is another area that technology plays a part in. It has changed how coaches train their athletes to push for advancement in skills and injury prevention.
A recent study from the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) highlighted that wearable technology has increased in availability, quality and safety for athletes and gives coaches a chance to do more. Examples of this tech include the Q-Collar, a neck-worn device that stabilizes the neck to protect head impacts during collisions. Also, sensor-embedded bats for baseball and softball to track swing speed, angle and potential launch velocity. New coach to catcher electronic communication for use in baseball and softball for more strategic scenarios in matchups.
NYSPHSAA has also implemented technology to ensure the right call is made by an official. Video replay was approved for use in the sports of boy and girls basketball, wrestling, ice hockey and cheer.
In addition to video replay, NYSPHSAA has also partnered with scoring and athlete entry platforms including Universal Tennis Rating (gathers results of athletes to help with tournament seeding), Gamechanger (scoring/statistical app used in baseball and softball), SwimCloud (an entry and seeding platform for swimming and diving) and MileSplit (an entry platform and scoring platform in cross country, indoor & outdoor track).
Prior to COVID, NYSPHSAA also went cashless with its ticketing operations at state championships. Their partner, GoFan, provides a user-friendly platform to manage online ticket sales for all of its events which eliminates cash on site, decreases staffing and allows for immediate attendance reports.
“Our sport committees are constantly seeking ways to improve the game from a technology standpoint,” said Joe Altieri, NYSPHSAA Assistant Director and liaison to the association’s sport committees. “With the help of the NFHS and other organizations we’re able to implement various technologies to aid officials, allow coaches to more efficiently teach athletes, and have the best scoring and timing platforms for our state championship events. Technology is becoming a necessity not a luxury for interscholastic athletics in New York State.”
NYSPHSAA is determined to remain ahead of the technological curve and adapt before implementation.
“We stay ahead by continuously monitoring emerging trends in sports technology and data analytics, ensuring we adopt advancements that enhance safety, performance and efficiency in high school athletes,” said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director.
Ethical implementation is another critical component with the implementation of advanced technology. “NYSPHSAA works to identify and promote cost-effective solutions while advocating for resources to support schools with limited access. By maintaining open dialogue with school administrators, we strive to ensure all schools have a fair opportunity to integrate effectively,” says Dr. Robert Zayas.
The future of high school sports is entering a new era and it’s all driven by advancements of technology.

Friday, May 16, 2025
IHG Hotels & Resorts has unveiled plans to bring its boutique Hotel Indigo brand to the picturesque seaside town of Torquay, in partnership with The Fragrance Group. The upcoming property, featuring 153 thoughtfully designed rooms, will join IHG’s growing collection of lifestyle and luxury hotels across the UK and Ireland. This latest addition marks the 26th Hotel Indigo either open or in development in the region, strengthening IHG’s position in one of the country’s most cherished leisure destinations.
Situated in Devon’s beloved Torquay, the hotel aims to capture the spirit and charm of its local surroundings. Designed to reflect the distinct character of the area, Hotel Indigo Torquay will offer guests an immersive experience rooted in the unique culture and history of the English Riviera. Its doors are set to open in the latter half of 2025, catering to both domestic holidaymakers and international visitors seeking a quintessential coastal escape.
Nestled within the scenic landscape of Torbay—a coastal region comprising the towns of Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham—the hotel’s location promises travelers a charming and dynamic seaside getaway. Torquay, famed for its Victorian elegance and beachside allure, will provide the perfect backdrop for a destination that blends relaxation with sophisticated hospitality.
The property will feature a variety of high-end amenities designed to elevate the guest experience. A standout highlight includes a rooftop bar with sweeping views of the bay, ideal for sunset cocktails or relaxed evening gatherings. Expansive terraces facing the sea will create ideal lounging spaces for guests to take in the stunning coastal scenery, from the bustling marina to golden beaches and the picturesque harbour.
On the ground floor, a signature restaurant and bar will serve as a vibrant social hub for guests and locals alike, offering a curated menu that celebrates local flavours and seasonal ingredients. Whether guests are starting their day with a hearty breakfast or ending it with a refined dinner, the culinary offerings will reflect the rich coastal culture of the region.
Wellness and fitness will also play a central role in the hotel’s offerings. Guests can maintain their routines at a modern gym equipped with the latest fitness technology or unwind in the tranquil on-site spa. A menu of indulgent treatments will be available, providing a soothing retreat after a day of coastal exploration or sightseeing in Torquay’s charming streets.
With Hotel Indigo Torquay, IHG continues to demonstrate its commitment to creating one-of-a-kind hospitality experiences that are deeply connected to their surroundings. The new hotel not only complements IHG’s expanding lifestyle portfolio but also adds value to the English Riviera’s tourism appeal by offering a modern, design-led stay for leisure travelers.
This latest development reflects IHG’s broader strategy to grow its Hotel Indigo brand in distinctive neighbourhoods across the UK and beyond—where each hotel tells a local story through its design, amenities, and service approach. As anticipation builds for its 2025 opening, Hotel Indigo Torquay is set to become a flagship destination that blends seaside elegance with the personalized charm that defines the Hotel Indigo experience.
Joanna Kurowska, Managing Director, UK & Ireland, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Our Hotel Indigo brand has experienced accelerated growth in Europe and globally in recent years, propelling owner and guest appetite for the brand. Leisure destinations such as Torquay, known for its seaside charm and year-round activities, perfectly embody Hotel Indigo’s commitment in providing guests with memorable stays entrenched in the stories of their neighbourhoods.
With our UK & Ireland growth strategy focused on conversions and capitalising on opportunities in leisure and secondary markets, Hotel Indigo Torquay is a great example of a hotel we are keen to add to our growing portfolio. We are also delighted to partner with Fragrance Group for the first time with this significant hotel and look forward to growing our partnership in the future.”
The upcoming property will become part of the growing Hotel Indigo portfolio in the UK and Ireland, which already features nineteen operational locations, such as Hotel Indigo Coventry that launched in the previous year. Hotel Indigo Torquay will also be among the six new additions currently under development by IHG, with notable openings including Hotel Indigo London – Clerkenwell and Hotel Indigo Leeds, both scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2025.
Martin Rogers, representing Fragrance Group, said: “Torbay has firmly earned its place as one of the UK’s top tourist destinations, thanks to its unique blend of natural beauty and wealth of leisure opportunities. With ongoing developments along the town’s waterfront location, Torquay will continue to be recognised as a leading leisure destination in the UK.
We are confident that working alongside IHG Hotels & Resorts, with their expert knowledge of the UK & Ireland market, backed by their industry leading powerful enterprise, that Hotel Indigo Torquay will become a market leader in Torquay’s luxury and lifestyle segment. We are excited to welcome guests to our luxury Resort Hotel in the heart of The English Riviera when we open our doors.”
The addition of Hotel Indigo Torquay marks a significant milestone in expanding IHG’s footprint across the UK and Ireland. With this new signing, the group reinforces its presence in the region, where it currently manages three hundred sixty-three properties and has an additional thirty-three hotels in the pipeline.

ESPN SVP/Sports Production Tim Corrigan said the company has “never had more resources on the WNBA” than it does heading into 2025, according to Richard Deitsch of THE ATHLETIC. Deitsch noted the league has 13 regular-season games airing on ABC, “the most ever on that network.” ESPN added a second “WNBA Countdown” studio show for game coverage and has a WNBA Hoop Streams social and digital pregame show. Corrigan: “We are taking a broader, bigger approach, with more resources, both in the studio and in the game.” When asked whether ESPN will add a women’s basketball-specific daily studio show, Corrigan said, “As the WNBA extends out to L.A. with our studio show, we have our daily ‘NBA Today’ show out there, and we are going to be able to put WNBA in that show a lot as we follow big stories.” He noted the WNBA will be “represented more on ‘NBA Today’ because they are in season.” Corrigan said that during the season, any flex WNBA games picked up “would come from a combination of a network’s programming department and the league coming together,” but ESPN “would certainly be interested in adding any games of interest.” Corrigan said, “I would hope that we would be equally ambitious with the WNBA because that’s what people want to see” (THE ATHLETIC, 5/15).
PACKAGE DEAL: DIRECTV and Scripps Sports announced they will offer WNBA fans all of ION’s 15 weeks of “State Farm WNBA Friday Night Spotlight on ION” regular season games at no extra charger to their existing DIRECTV packages that include ION Television. DIRECTV will deliver live WNBA games from regional or local broadcasts to its streaming, satellite and U-verse customers as a complement to ION’s weekly national doubleheaders (DIRECTV).

In an industry where every millisecond and every data point can make the difference between success and failure, technology decisions have never been more critical.

In an industry where every millisecond and every data point can make the difference between success and failure, technology decisions have never been more critical. The sports betting industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, with a projected 12% increase by the end of 20321. This dynamism is reflected both in emerging markets, such as Brazil, and in established markets where operators constantly seek to optimize their operations. In this context, a fundamental strategic question affects all types of operators: should they develop technological solutions internally or rely on specialized providers?
The Challenge for Different Operator Profiles
This decision is crucial for various profiles: new operators seeking to establish themselves, international brands expanding into emerging markets, and established operators (including state lotteries) looking to improve their competitiveness or operational efficiency. For new entrants, creating an internal platform offers total control but involves significant challenges in costs and time. Established operators, meanwhile, face the need to maintain their competitive edge in an increasingly demanding technological environment.
International Expansion and Local Adaptation
Global operators entering new markets must consider how to replicate their previous success in different contexts. Outsourcing offers a fast track, allowing for more flexible adaptations and leveraging local knowledge. Outsourcing certain components can help mitigate regulatory risks and facilitate smoother regulatory compliance. It’s no secret that outsourcing models have proven to be effective tools that have allowed new operators to quickly gain ground.
The Challenge of Continuous Innovation
Additionally, operators already established in their markets face their own challenges. The need for continuous innovation, optimization of operating costs, and improved efficiency are critical factors in maintaining their competitive position. These operators must evaluate whether their current systems can keep pace with the latest technological innovations and whether the investment in internal development justifies the expected return.
Finding the Right Balance
It’s crucial to highlight that this is not just an all-or-nothing question between in-house and outsourcing. No operator internally controls every facet of their operation; all use some degree of outsourcing. The essential thing is to decide which key components, such as the player management platform, betting engine, risk management, or sportsbook interface, should be outsourced to optimize competitiveness.
As the industry matures, a growing trend toward outsourcing is expected. This is already common in consolidated technology sectors, and the sports betting sector will likely follow this path. Operators continue to seek high-quality and efficient solutions to maintain their competitive advantage.
The Hybrid Approach
End-to-end turnkey platforms like ORAKO represent an effective hybrid solution for all these operator profiles.
