About

Adelytics

Features
Read full description

Adelytics is the basketball trainer's notebook, playbook and shot chart in one app, built by a coach who runs skills sessions for players from middle school up. PRACTICES, ALREADY PLANNED Twelve-week rotations for four age groups, from Little Ballers to high school, plus a 1v1 session, a three-hour clinic, a full camp day and a 90-minute team contract. Every block has its minutes, its teaching point and its drills. Pick an offense for a clinic, a camp day or a team contract and its drills show inside the blocks, with a court diagram and the steps to run them. Terms of Use: https://digitaladelhoops.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://digitaladelhoops.com/privacy.html PLAYS YOU CAN WATCH Spacing Foundations, Read the Defense Motion and the Princeton Offense in two versions, Traditional and 5-Out. Every play shows its reads: the first look, and where to go when it is not there. Watch it one move at a time, with the defense moving, then reverse it to the other side. Draw your own plays on the board, save them to your playbook and hand them to the Watch screen. A SHOOTING COACH ON THE COURT Set the phone down and shoot. Form is scored shot by shot: elbow, knee bend, release, balance. The live shot and the guided check work hands free. CHART A GAME FROM YOUR VIDEO Line the court up with the video once and the AI finds the shots, marks where they came from and drafts the chart for you to confirm. Everything runs on the device. Your footage never leaves the phone. PROGRESS PARENTS UNDERSTAND Grade three players a session on the choices they make and the attitude they bring. Zone shot charts, drill records, a twelve-week trend and a progress report you can hand to a parent. Badges and standings rank on points per session attended, so a player who trains twice a week is not ahead just for showing up. FOR THE WHOLE STAFF Roster by age group, attendance in two taps, an assistant coach that answers from your own session notes, and a Big Screen mode for the gym. The free plan includes the practice plans, the Spacing Foundations pack, the roster and the shooting coach. Plans for players, coaches and programs add the offense packs, film charting, reports and more, and are sold through the App Store. Made by Digital Adel Hoops.
