Amateur cricket is full of memorable moments. But, for many clubs, reminiscing is the only form of record available.

FrogBox makes broadcasting live cricket accessible and allows clubs and schools to easily capture and remember these special moments.

FrogBox is the innovative, lightweight and low-cost product designed for volunteer operated clubs to easily livestream their fixtures. The system integrates with the Play-Cricket Scorer app and allows all highlights to be viewed via Play-Cricket Live.

Setting up FrogBox

Streaming your cricket matches is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

On match day, the simple steps are:

  • Set-up and position your FrogBox streaming kit before play. The FrogBox support team is available to assist along the way.
  • Score the match using the Play-Cricket Scorer app (mobile phone or tablet)
  • Encourage your fans and members to engage with the stream and match highlights on the Play-Cricket Live app.

The streaming kit includes a Panasonic HD camcorder, 4.5m mast for elevated capture, a rechargeable battery that can last up to 20 hours and a sturdy case that fits all cables and devices. FrogBox also provides the necessary technology to process and stream the footage live.

The ease of set-up and maintenance is a key selling point of the system – anyone can quickly learn how to use FrogBox.

Key Features

The feature of FrogBox’s streaming kit that most lends itself to club and school cricket is the link with Play-Cricket Scorer. Users simply score a match on the app as they usually would, but FrogBox’s automated streaming technology takes the information and overlays it on the video, resulting in smart-looking graphics that resemble those seen on TV.

One of the most valuable features to the FrogBox streaming set-up is the ability to integrate your club’s sponsor logos onto your stream. It’s a great way to attract new sponsors through promoting their brand on your broadcast. As captured on FrogBox last year, Asif Ali’s six that shattered his own car windscreen became a viral hit and attracted sponsors to the club, grabbing the world media’s attention.

New to FrogBox for 2022 – Lilypad

In May, FrogBox will be launching Lilypad, which is their new fan engagement tool to give clubs the power to easily select their favourite moments from a match, compile them into playlists and share them with their club and community.

For 2022, this will be included in the FrogBox package.

How much does FrogBox cost?

There are two elements to FrogBox – and the prices have been dropped for the 2022 season.

  • Streaming kit (£950) – includes a FrogBox camera, mast, rechargeable battery and carry case/cables.
  • Streaming licence (£250 per year) – live streaming all matches, automated on-screen graphics, automated match highlights, integration with scoring apps and Lilypad access.

There’s never been a better time to join the streaming revolution and to start re-imagining the match day experience for your cricket club or school.
