Great app for head coaches and programs

I have used the Hoops geek for about 3 years now. I am the Head Coach of a Men’s Basketball University program in Canada. The app is amazing to create plays, scenarios and options, keep them organized and share them with your team and staff. Some of the features are simple but brilliant, like the ability to flip the direction of a play with one click, play at different speed, include videos, etc. The owner helped me a year ago when I was having problems with the app and was very helpful and reactive. They are adding lots of new features that I don’t always use, but the recent addition of folders to organize myself is great. Highly recommend, the paying version is definetly worth the cost.

The Best of the Best

Starting my 35th year of coaching I have tried many products like this and I can tell you that as a 4 year user this is the best of the best.

Easy to use and learn.

This bad boy does a great job with play design, playbook creation and video animations.

I highly recommend it and I am not sponsored by the developer.
