Using Slam-In over the Internet

What does “over the Internet” mean? Competing head-to-head against another team in another location? Broadcasting a match so that family members and other well-wishers can “tune in”? Practicing online with each team member in a different location – maybe at home, after hours, on a snow day?

“Over the Internet” means all 3 And Slam-In supports all 3!

Why Compete Online? To save money To save time To scrimmage against someone outside your area To give your players greater exposure To provide positive feedback to supporters
