Free Lite iPad Version Available Now!

Phoenix, AZ ( December 1, 2010) – Huddle up and get ready to tackle hours of digital fun as Kurt Warner’s Good Sports Gang enters the mobile technology world with new sports-themed apps for iPad, iPhone, and iTouch with a complementary interactive online community in the works.

Developed by GSG Media (www.gsgmedia.com), a new multimedia development group spearheaded by recently retired two-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner and his wife Brenda, the company is developing a number of electronic products designed to teach problem-solving and critical thinking skills as well as impart values such as teamwork, perseverance and fair play in young sports enthusiasts ten years old and under.

“Our Good Sports Gang products are a perfect fit for hand-held devices as the apps incorporate all of the elements that kids like: state-of-the-art digital technology, cool 3D animated characters, sports and fun multi-level games,” said Kurt Warner. “Our creative process has resulted in engaging, whimsical apps that kids and parents can enjoy together — and there’s more to come.”

GSG Media’s producing partner is Schwartz & Associates Creative, a media company that designs and distributes compelling, immersive, multi-platform content. The new venture’s products feature the Good Sports Gang, a team of high-bouncing, energetic sports ball characters – with personality traits and quirks that are appealing to all children.

Up first is “Kurt Warner’s Football 101 for Kids” available now in a free LITE iPad version from iTunes with the full application for iPad, iPhone, and iTouch coming early November for $2.99. Through the magic of special effects, Kurt himself introduces pint-sized pigskin players to GSG’s dynamic, wise team captain Qubee, a charming football character. The two team up to teach children all about football fundamentals in an interactive, fun-filled, and easy-to-understand way.

“With this app, moms can learn about football along with their kids,” says Brenda Warner.
