Pricing

Insane that most of these apps charge as much as they do. I’ll stick to Canva. Just upload a graphic of a court, use the shapes and lines to make the plays. You can even animate them to show the movement. Highway robbery with the prices on this app. Save your money fellow coaches! We don’t make enough to begin with and they expect people to pay THAT much for something you can do for free.

Response from developer

Hey Coach - Most of Elite Hoops is entirely free (including everything you said you want to do in Canva). I'm also the most affordable play diagramming software available (check competitor pricing, usually Elite Hoops comes in at ~33% less). I'm the very coach you're talking about, so I make these tools for tons of people. Your review isn't about a big company trying to nickel and dime coaches, it's just me - one person (Jordan, hi!). I wish you'd give it another chance, there's a ton Elite Hoops can do and I think it's worth the money. But that's a choice everyone makes on their own, if you want to give it another shot - email me directly at sup@daywellspent.io - I'd love to have you!

Awesome App!

Love using this app to share with our guys at practice! Support is also super quick getting back to you if ever needed!

Response from developer

Thanks for the review coach!

GAME CHANGER!!!

This is a must have for coaches. Everything you need in one app. Having the ability to build practices from a drill library is great. The game changer for me as a coach is the ability to use the playbook to send individual videos to my players to review when we are not practicing

Beat app out there !!!

it is an app with useful features affordable to a coach’s salary.

I am so grateful to have found this app. I am not one to use technology too much because of its inherent limitations to perform well without cell service. However, having used the app, I feel it has helped me improve my productivity significantly.
But, more importantly the developer is soooo attentive. He has continually improved and filled the app with features that are very useful for player and team development.

Thank you Mr Developer!!!
