ABOUT THE SPORTS BROADCASTING CAMP

The Nation's Premier Sports Broadcasting Camp!

The Sports Broadcasting Camp is the longest running sportscasting camp in the country, established in 2001. Our next camp from July 10-14, 2023 will be conducted at Montclair State University's School of Communication TV and Radio Studios. The camp is intended for students ages 12-19.

 

Over the last 22 years we have hosted a "who's who" of leading national and local sportscasters as our teachers, team captains, and guest speakers (list below). Our programs are a perfect mix of actually recording sports broadcast projects and learning the tricks of the trade from sportscast industry leaders.

Some projects students may produce include:

  • Play-by-play and color commentary

  • Sportstalk radio shows

  • FOX/ESPN-type big event pre-game shows with a panel

  • Writing and delivering a nightly sportscast on-camera using TelePrompter

  • TV Interviews in one-on-one and press conference settings

  • On-camera show opens

  • And more….

Our History

In 2001, former college sports information director and corporate PR director David Siroty founded The Sports Broadcasting Camp.  For the first 15 years, we were known as the Bruce Beck and Ian Eagle Sports Broadcasting Camp and the event was held one week every summer at the Yogi Berra Museum in Little Falls, New Jersey.  We then transitioned to the gorgeous state-of-the-art studios at Montclair State University's School of Communication and Media.  When the pandemic hit, we pivoted successfully to the virtual world. In 2020 and 2021, Dave Popkin joined Tim Capstraw, Craig D'Amico, Sam Kuperman, and friends for various online sessions, which were met with rave reviews from students and parents. 

 

In 2022, camp returned to Montclair State and we were back in-person taking full advantage of state-of-the-art TV and radio studios, controls rooms and more as we provide campers with a first-class experience. The longest running and most successful Sports Broadcasting Camp in the nation continues in Year 22!
