Conshohocken-based Play by Play Sports Broadcasting Camps trains future sportscasters in its weeklong programs for kids, and former Phillies slugger Ryan Howard is betting on the future with a major investment.

The company, which currently offers camps in nine cities across the U.S., received an investment from SeventySix Capital, in a deal led by Howard, who joined Wayne Kimmel’s firm in May of last year, writes Roberto Torres at technical.ly.

Play by Play employs three full-timers out of its Montco HQ and 40 part-timers. The capital will help the company scale its programs and include a digital skills component.
