Create, edit, & share practice plans & playbooks for basketball. Basketlife’s app is an everyday tool to help coaches organize & refine their practices and playbooks over time, creating a historical record of what they have done with the various teams they coach from year to year. Otherwise, draw up drills/plays on the fly using your finger tip or stylus on your tablet. Save time, while making you more productive & efficient. MEMBERS MUST SIGN UP ON THE WEB APP https://basketlife.ca/sign-up-login/ Our subscribers can browse through category filters and use whichever custom drills & plays they choose when building their practice plans & playbooks, editing them for refinement and sharing with other coaches/players/parents. Many coaches continue to write & rewrite the same “chicken scratch” practice plans over & over, having not yet entered the digital era. As a result, many kids are experiencing sports in an “off the cuff” fashion, often quitting due to the lack of organization, lousy coaching & ultimately, an experience that becomes boring and not fun – which is the number one reason why kids are leaving sports. Drills, plays, practice plans and playbooks are best created on a desktop/laptop/tablet & are best accessed using the app on your phone or tablet while running practices or during games. For best performance, this app works best with as few other applications open as possible. If this app is left open (inactive) for extended periods of time you may need to close it & re-open it to restore proper function. “When using the offline feature, please ensure that you have a stable internet connection when coming back online (no hotspots!). Also allow up to 30 seconds for the loading of large amounts of offline material (small amounts take 5-10 seconds) or when loading a very large account for the first time (reduced by having less external apps open); it may also crash & need to be reopened to view new material in this instance." “Dark mode” can cause black & white background and text to invert. This app is best viewed on "Light mode” in your "Display & Brightness" device "Settings." CREATE, EDIT & SHARE - Create your own Drills & Plays, Practice Plans & Playbooks. - Share with other coaches, players, parents & social media. NATIVE SPORTS APP - Offline connectivity: our offline capable app brings lacrosse to the 4 corners of the world, allowing coaches to access & work on their material during transit or otherwise while in rural areas with limited internet connections. SUBSCRIPTION PRICING AND TERMS Basketlife offers two levels of auto-renewing subscription options: - FREE: Access through guest mode for access to drill/play creator (saving function will not work in this case) - LEVEL 1: Access to all beginner and intermediate content. $4.99 per month $44.9 per year (SAVE 25%) These prices are in Canadian dollars. Pricing in other countries may vary & actual charges may be converted to your local currency depending on your country of residence. The subscription will automatically renew unless turned off on your subscription page on footylife.ca at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Access your account to manage your subscription. MEMBERS MUST SIGN UP ON THE WEB APP https://basketlife.ca/sign-up-login/
