Some plays cannot be drawn in one picture
Cram a whole play into a single frame and you get spaghetti: twelve arrows, five players, zero understanding. The play creator builds plays the way you teach them, one clean action per step, so your players read a sequence instead of decoding a scribble. The elevator set below takes three frames. Try drawing it in one.
One action per frame
Each step is its own clean picture. Add as many as the play needs and walk the team through them one at a time, like film.
Every movement, proper notation
Cuts, passes, screens, dribbles, and handoffs, drawn in the shorthand your players already know from the locker room board.
The coaching point rides along
Put the read, the timing, and the option on the exact frame where it happens. The diagram shows what, your note says why.
Start from a formation, not a blank court
Five-out, horns, box, 1-4 high: open the formation, drop in your action, done. Nobody should be placing ten markers from scratch at 11 pm the night before a game.
One tool for each job
All Basketball tools →Questions coaches ask
- What makes this a play creator and not just a drawing tool?
- Structure. A play is a sequence of steps with player movement, screens, and passes on each frame, plus your coaching notes. You build the sequence, not just one picture.
- Can I start from a template?
- Yes. Begin with common formations like five-out or a horns set, then customize the play for your team.
- How many steps can a play have?
- As many as the action needs. Most coaches keep plays to a few steps and make variations their own plays, which is also better teaching.
- Can I print the plays I create?
- Yes. Print every frame or export to PDF from the play creator for practice cards and game-day binders.
- Is the basketball play designer free?
- Seven days free, then Starter is $99 a year or $12 a month: the play creator, unlimited plays and playbooks, saving, printing and sharing. PRO is $149 a year or $29 a month and adds the practice planner, the drill bank and Sideline.
You are going to draw it again anyway.
Seven days free, and every play saves itself and prints clean.
The only thing you can lose is the play you were about to forget.
