Star Academies app for coaches and students We made coaching and learning easy and fun! Our in-house developed app for Star Academies Coaches and students is both users friendly and practical, making the coaching process easy across all stages. Within a click of a button, coaches have easy access to their personal training schedule, especially for the students that study coaching at our academy per date, time and venue. We follow the same coaching programme. Our coaches and students can easily access daily lesson plans and see the drills and videos that are assigned to them for that particular class. Their app's barcode scanning feature allows them to easily verify the attendance of current players, as well as check in and apply for leave. This app also allows coaches and students to stay up-to-date with all important academy news and updates. The main purpose of the APP is education to help the students that want to become coaches organise their day to day workload.

HoopScape is the modern practice planner and play designer for basketball coaches — built by a coach, for coaches. Design game-realistic drills, plan your sessions, and run them straight from your phone. No clipboards, no spreadsheets, no whiteboard photos that never quite make it into a usable plan. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Sketch plays on an interactive basketball court. Drag players, defenders, the ball, and cones onto the court, animate motion across time, and replay your design. • Build a drill library you can reuse across the season. Every play you draw is saved as a drill you can tag by kind and variability, bookmark for quick recall, and pull into any practice. • Plan practices in one place. Drop drills into a session, set durations, reorder with a long-press, and see your total minutes update live. • Schedule weekly recurring practices or one-off sessions. Edit a single occurrence — this Thursday's practice starts late — without breaking the rest of the series. Skip an occurrence when you have a road game. • Run practice on the court with a guided timer, a whistle, and notes you can capture mid-practice. Run mode keeps the screen awake so your phone is a usable bench companion. • Take notes anywhere — on a drill, on a practice, on a single session. Notes stay put, so you can look back at what actually worked last Tuesday. • Share a drill or a whole practice with a link. Send it to an assistant, a parent, or another coach — no account needed to open it, and you can revoke the link whenever you want. • Post drills to the community feed, and pull other coaches' work into your own library when something catches your eye. BUILT BY A COACH HoopScape is built by a working basketball coach. Every tool in it — the play designer, the drill library, the practice planner, run mode — exists because a practice needed it, not because it looked good on a feature list.
