Ballers to get new tech video
THE Gold Coast Basketball Association could soon join professional sporting leagues in offering individual player highlight videos with the introduction of recording software.
Glory League is a fully automated camera system for amateur basketball which tracks players and generates highlight videos for players.
The Gold Coast Basketball Association is currently in talks with the City Council to install the software which will give the Commonwealth Games legacy facilities at Carrara another huge upgrade.
“I have a couple of friends who play up in Brisbane who finish up their games, go to the pub and start watching their highlights with their mates, it adds value to the game,” Gold Coast Basketball general manager Joel McInnes said.
McInnes believes that the software will increase the experience of members and help up and coming stars of the game achieve their dreams.
“Players will be able to watch themselves play but it will also provide great analysis for coaches and referees,” he said.
“We’ve got kids who are wanting to try out for college basketball and usually have their parents make highlights videos for them but now everyone can do it.”
It will cost $40,000 to install and set up Glory League for the eight courts in the Gold Coast sport and leisure centre.
Player fees will also increase to allow for players to access the software.
The Gold Coast Basketball Association is currently calling for donations to install the Glory League cameras.
