Basketball Victoria Partner with Glory League

Glory League has partnered with Basketball Victoria to deliver automated video and highlights to grassroots basketball across the state. Through integration with PlayHQ, players, coaches, referees, and families will receive professional-style full game videos, personalised highlight reels, and stat overlays. The partnership aims to strengthen community connection, improve behaviour and safety, and make high-quality video content accessible to all participants.

Glory League is excited to announce a new partnership with Basketball Victoria, delivering our world-first automated basketball video system to grassroots competitions across the state.

This partnership gives Victorian participants professional-style video and highlight reels of their games, complete with stat overlays through our integration with PlayHQ. Families, coaches, referees, and supporters can now share in the action like never before.

Glory League provides players, family, supporters, coaches and referees with a unique post-game experience that includes:  

  • The ability to watch all games, review highlights and share with friends and family.
  • Review stat-enriched content with box scores, line charts and more.
  • Watch highlight reels that can be shared with family and friends or even sent to coaches and scouts.
  • Tag stats to create additional highlight clips and enriched player stats (via PlayHQ).
  • Review and analyse game footage to assist development of players, coaches and referees.

Basketball Victoria CEO Nick Honey said he is excited about the partnership with Glory League which will further improve the customer experience and engage the whole basketball community.

“It is great to bring Glory League into the Victorian Basketball eco-system, providing a great user experience and the ability for players to feel like a star from the moment they walk into a venue to when they watch their highlights at home. This is great technology that not only connects family and supporters of participants to see those little moments of wonder time and again, Glory League also makes competitions safer and better with a marked improvement of player and spectator behaviour.” Honey said.

Glory League CEO Grant McCabe is looking forward to a long partnership with both Basketball Victoria and PlayHQ that will allow all Victorians a chance to see a family member or friend when they can’t attend games, allowing them to experience and be part of the excitement too.

"Our partnership with PlayHQ and Basketball Victoria enables a seamless connection between our systems. Together, we are extending the connectivity of the basketball community through personalised video and stats for players, coaches, referees and supporters. Glory League looks forward to better serving community basketball organisations through automated video across Victoria."

Mark Moor – CEO of PlayHQ, is also looking forward to a deeper collaboration with Glory League and ensuring the integration provides a first-class user experience for participants.

“We are excited about the future potential of video in community sport. Glory League opens up a world of possibilities for consumer engagement, and we are delighted to power up the Glory League service with PlayHQ’s data”

“I would encourage all Victorian basketball associations to learn more about the opportunity of working with Glory League as a PlayHQ partner.”

HOW DOES GLORY LEAGUE WORK?

  • By integrating with PlayHQ, there is no additional administration required by teams, clubs or associations.
  • A camera is mounted above the court and our automated software zooms in and follows the game, just like a professional camera operator.
  • The scoring system starts the recording and each point scored is automatically cut into highlight videos for the participants.  
  • After the game players, coaches, parents and supporters are emailed a link to the video - automated highlight reels and statistics.
  • Videos are easily watched and shared so the basketball community can relive their favourite moments again and again.
