This is play by play gold

[@JonChelesnikSTAA]

Thank you, Michael . I appreciate that. Glad the suggestions are helpful!

[@perrydecory7388]

can you tell me how easy it can be calling the game and also keeping track of stats?

[@perrydecory7388]

is there a simpler method i may use?

[@Staatalent]

Hi Perry. Thank you for your question. Keeping stats while doing play-by-play is challenging at first but worth your perseverance. You'll usually figure it out during your second or third broadcast and the effort will be worth it. Here is one example of what your stat sheet might look like staatalent.com/sportscasting-prep-tools/FBstatsletter.pdf

Hey,
I have been following for while now and recently just joined the membership on the website, maybe it was the Facebook group! Can you tell me what would be a good game to do a play-by-play commentary on? How would I access that game?

Hi Will,
Glad you enjoyed the video.
STAA doesn't have a Facebook Group. There is, however, a terrific FB group for play-by-play broadcasters. Perhaps that is what you joined.
Regarding your question, any game is a good game to use for practice. The best option is to practice at a live game. In lieu of that, practice from a game on TV.
What are your goals in play-by-play?
