Press Release Summary = New software product developed by TechnoPark Corp. has been
released. The product enables easy visual coaching and game strategy planning.


Press Release Body = Realistic graphics and a wide variety of available actions,
directions and models make the new software "Basketball Blueprint" a great solution
for coaches looking for a fun, easy way to teach basketball drills and plays. The
product is a .NET application providing the virtual basketball game with a great
number of variants.

Basketball coaches are the software's target audience. Taking into account that
about 70% people are visual learners, coaches often face the problem of
misunderstanding when drawing up plays "the traditional way" on chalkboards or
dry-erase whiteboards. Thus, a tool for vivid illustration of play tactics can be
the solution.

With Basketball Blueprint coaches are able to create dynamic basketball drills and
plays and present them with vivid full color graphic animation.

Basketball Blueprint allows the user to model a basketball play or drill, which
includes viewing an object (player, ball, etc.) from different angles, placing and
moving players, making passes and shots, drawing arrows and other indicators in
order to explain the situation, and showing the play or drill in motion. Each play
or drill can be saved. The software is supported by a web site where users can
upload and download their files and thus share their experience and ideas.

The software is able to convert any saved drill or play into a printer-friendly
format. This allows a coach to print out a step by step storyboard and illustrate
the strategy visually to his team. The product is now being marketed on the
Internet.

By now, Basketball Blueprint has got the first feedback from coaches who had already
tried it.

"Teaches the \"big picture\" without being too complicated. Other coaches are
commenting that my players have an excellent understanding of the game. Basketball
Blueprint is helping me take their skills to the next level," says Joe Alsman,
basketball coach at Boone Terre, MO.

Basketball Blueprint is available at http://www.basketballblueprint.com.

The product development was outsourced to Ukraine. The software has been introduced
by outsourcing software development company TechnoPark Corp. "The project seemed to
be easy, however it took much effort to make the game as realistic as possible.
After the Basketball Blueprint release we have monitored customers' feedback, and
now we think about starting development of the second version of the software basing
on end-users' feedback." said Olga Totskaya, Project Manager at TechnoPark Corp.

The software is easy-to-use and no special knowledge is needed. It will be useful
for professional and amateur basketball coaches as well as for basketball fans.

The project was developed as a standalone .Net application (Microsoft .Net Platform
2.0).
