Live Sports Webcams
What sports webcams show
Sports webcams look over places where people play and train: golf courses and driving ranges, tennis courts, football pitches, skate parks, playgrounds, rowing clubs and sports halls. They are usually installed by the clubs themselves to show conditions and attract members.
The camera answers practical questions. Golfers check whether the greens are frosty or the course is waterlogged after rain, tennis players whether the courts are dry and free, parents whether the playground is crowded. Clubs use the stream to show training and local matches to those who cannot be there. Major professional events rarely appear on such cameras: the broadcasting rights belong to television.
How busy it gets depends on the day of the week. Weekday evenings and weekend mornings are the busiest; in winter outdoor courts and courses may be closed, under snow or covered with nets, while indoor halls take over. Floodlit pitches stay visible after dark until the lights go out.
