Catapult Introduces Innovative Video Solutions
Catapult (ASX: CAT), the global leader in sports technology solutions for professional teams, has unveiled its innovative sideline video solution.

The NCAA Football Rules Committee has recently approved the use of sideline video solutions for live review, starting with the upcoming football season. The SEC will be the first college football conference to implement Catapult's sideline video technology across all 16 conference teams.
