Hoops Playbook

Hoops Playbook turns a basketball play into a short animation your team can watch, pause and learn from. Draw a play one step at a time. Place five players, drag their paths, add cuts, dribbles and passes, and watch the whole thing run. Scrub forward and back to check spacing. Plays look the same on iPhone and iPad. Tap the ball handler, then double-tap a teammate to pass or the hoop to shoot, and the editor moves on to the next step. DECISIONS, NOT JUST DIAGRAMS Real basketball is about reads. Add a decision step and give the player two or more options. When you present the play, it pauses at the decision and shows the options as large buttons. Tap one to see how that choice plays out, or let the default branch run. Use it to teach what to do when the defense takes away the first option. SPEAK THE PLAY Type a sentence for any step and the app reads it aloud, or record your own voice. Narration plays during presentation and can be included in exported videos. COURT MARKINGS Switch to Court mode to draw lines, zones and labels on the court: a no-press line, a lane to avoid, a spot to hold. Mark a line so that defense or offense cannot cross it, and the editor warns you when a path breaks the rule. Save your markings as a template and apply it to every new play. The app includes a league court template with a no-press line, and a sample play that uses it. PRESENT AND DRAW Present full screen on a tablet or a phone at the bench. Step through one move at a time, play continuously, slow it down, or draw temporary ink on the court while you talk. The ink never changes the play. SHARE IT Export a play as a video with a title card, captions and narration. Send it from the Messages app drawer as an interactive card that the other person can step through and save to their own playbook. Send a .playbook file to another coach, or keep a shared playbook in an iCloud Drive folder so two coaches see the same plays. ORGANIZE Keep plays in folders, set up teams with rosters and jersey numbers, and start from sample plays: Give and Go, Pick and Roll, Inbound Box, Pass Options and Beat the No-Press Line. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS There is no account and no tracking. Plays are stored on your device, in your iCloud Drive if you choose, or in a folder you pick. The app collects nothing. Hoops Playbook is free.
