http://www.nbahooptroop.com   A basketball fan site loaded with quality content for kids who love to play the game and watch NBA games.

http://www.nbcsports.com   Recommended for children 10 and up, parents need to know that this site is a hub for sporting news from NBC that features some Sports Illustrated content, too. Kids can find stats, scores, and videos clips from NBC sports shows (don't worry; any bad words are bleeped out). There are also news reports, writer blogs, expert commentary, and of course, a fantasy sports section.

http://espn.go.com    - Recommended for kids 10 and up, parents need to know that this comprehensive sports site isn't really geared toward kids, but there's not much here that's inappropriate for them.  Even though most of the content is straightforward stats, analysis, and just plain fun, sometimes the sporting world's underbelly shows a more serious side (doping, racism, gambling) that requires a parent's -- not a message board's -- explanation and guidance.
