NEW YORK, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Weplay.com, the ultimate online destination for the youth sports community, has launched a new Internet and iPhone application for parents to follow youth baseball and softball games online in real time.  Partnering with GameChanger, Weplay now lets sports parents and fans follow pitch by pitch what's happening on their favorite children's diamonds even if they aren't at the game.

"For the first time ever, youth and high school baseball and softball players can turn their on-field performance into a live play-by-play GameStream, just like the pros," said Fungo Media CEO and Co-Founder, Ted Sullivan.  "With play updates beamed to the web in real-time and online stats logged instantly, coaches, players and fans get access to the game content they crave. The GameChanger technology, coupled with Weplay's best-in-class platform for news, photos and schedules, will deliver amateur sports coaches, players and fans the most complete package of information available to them today."

"As a busy father, I have always wished that I could follow my sons' games even when I couldn't be there," said Weplay CEO, Steve Hansen.  "With GameChanger, Weplay now is on the field on an iPhone, broadcasting and sharing youth sports memories with the people who care most.  Combined with our leading online clubhouses, softball and baseball Skills and Drills and involvement from pros like Derek Jeter, Ryan Howard and Jennie Finch, Weplay has the most comprehensive and meaningful online service for spring sports."

Anyone who starts a baseball or softball team on Weplay gets free access to the iPhone application and online service with more sports coming.  Weplay continues to expand its footprint beyond its core website and will be launching an iPhone application, Facebook application and more in 2010.  For more information, go to the Weplay Blog.
