From a volleyball lifer in Taiwan, made for coaches and serious teams everywhere: formations and rotations, block lines and a setting simulator in true 3D, lineups before the match, live scoring during it, and a full review after. One app with every tool you need to keep getting better at this sport. ■ What's in the free version? ・Formations & rotations: Built around the 5-1 system. Arrange your formations and walk through them right on screen — clear enough for a coaching session, simple enough for a captain explaining a play to teammates. ・Drawing tools: Sketch on top of any formation screen while you talk. ・Line theory: Draw the block shadow and the attack lines still open, so you can teach exactly where the ball has to go for a kill. ・Position guide & practice plans: Plain-language explanations of every position, plus ready-made practice plans for coaches. ・Volleyball 101 & rules room: New to the sport? The clearest walkthrough of the rules you'll find anywhere. ■ Full version (subscription or one-time purchase) ・My team: Keep every player's position, jersey number, photo and your coaching notes in one place. The whole app adapts to your roster. ・3D: Walk a full lap around a 3D court to see the block shadow from any angle, browse the attack playbook, run the setting simulator, and build your team's own custom plays. ・Pre-match prep: Set your starting lineup, run matchup analysis (height differences and hitting hand), plan upcoming fixtures and keep scouting notes on opponents. ・Live match tracking: A real-time scoring system. Throw out the paper scoresheet — this covers every record you were keeping by hand. ・Post-match review: Top scorers and efficiency by category, for a fast, clear breakdown of where the points came from. ・Custom labels: Rename positions and plays to match what your team — or your country — actually calls them. ■ About your data No account required. The formations, players and match records you create stay on your own device and are never uploaded to our servers. ■ Purchase details The full version comes as a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription. Pick either one; the features are identical. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled at any time in your App Store account settings.
