Weplay.com, the ultimate online destination for the youth sports
community, has launched its free Basketball Skills and Drills library
featuring content from the LeBron James King James Academy summer
basketball camp in San Diego.

Weplay.com was granted access to film drills at LeBron’s camp where
kids learned and practiced the fundamentals of basketball, team play,
good sportsmanship and healthy habits. Weplay.com’s library of
hundreds of free basketball drill videos, animations and basketball
plays also includes footage of the NBA’s biggest stars including Tony
Parker, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

“Millions of players and coaches are playing basketball this winter
and Weplay is dedicated to providing them with the information and
tools they need to stay organized and make the most of their season.
Our partnership with basketball’s best such as LeBron James gives us a
compelling and helpful offering,” said Steve Hansen, CEO, Weplay.com.

The basketball drill library is organized by skill, including ball
control drills, defensive drills and plays, offensive drills and
plays, passing drills, rebounding drills and shooting drills. The
comprehensive library is also organized by skill level so that
parents, coaches and kids can find the right basketball drills based
on the age of their teams and leagues.

“We’re building the online home of youth sports. By empowering parents
and coaches to teach sports, giving them the best Internet tools to
organize their teams and leagues and making it fun and easy to share
the memories of the season, Weplay helps everyone involved celebrate
youth sports, and in the process, encourages healthy, active
children,” said Mr. Hansen.
