"The app has exceeded our expectations ... the data capture is great ... so easy, good reports. In fact after one game my 10 y.o. daughter is a complete whizz on it." - A.W. (Sydney) Track your player, team or competition. Record stats for all levels of basketball supporting multiple teams, leagues, and seasons. Minimal touches to log data for fast input during the game. Email customized reports per game,player or season. Video of app on our site. Designed with team data collection in mind providing the ability to track as much or as little data per team or game as you want.
