The Masters Nationals 2008 link below is called a Sharegroup. We can set those up for your team or tournament. Here's a sample link to all gallery categories for Los Angeles Water Polo Club. Sharegroup links are perfect for posting on your Team Web Site rather than a bunch of gallery links. When you open your link it will show all of your team's galleries. Sharegroups have been added to the dropdown navigation list under Photo Galleries. If you've got parents taking photos and you have enough galleries we can even create custom Sharegroups for specific teams within your Club like we have for the Santa Barbara U14 Boys. 6/30/08
Video! We've got it! Tired of watching teeny, blurry, 320x240 pixel YouTube stuff? We can post DVD quality 640x480 or even High Definition quality 960x540 or 1280x720 video. We can post some beautiful highlight-type videos of up to 10 minutes in DVD quality or 5 minutes in Hi Def. That may not seem like much time but check out these 14U Boys JO Qual Videos. They even look decent full-screen - less blurry than typical YouTube 'polo videos. Even the recent USA vs Italy highlight video with 29 goals that was floating around the web was just over 9 minutes.
