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.

The editor does the tedious part

Drag and drop players onto real court spots. Arrows stay attached when you move things. A variation is copy, tweak one cut, save.

Frame-by-frame handouts

Print the steps as clean pages for the binder, or share it read-only with your staff. What you drew is exactly what they see.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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 with a card on file, then $29 a month or $149 a year. The full creator with steps, movement and notes is included.

Draw your next play in the next minute

Seven days free, then $29 a month. It saves itself, prints clean, and nothing erases it. The only thing you can lose by trying is the play you were about to forget.
