Your players have the playbook. Do they know it? Know Your Plays (formerly PlayLock) is a playbook quiz for teams. A coach makes a team code, players join with a jersey number, and the coach sees one word per play per player - ready, learning, or not yet - and who is not ready before game day. No accounts, and nothing about anyone's phone or screen time is ever shared. FOR COACHES - Create a team in seconds on the Team tab and share a six-character code. Every coach feature is free, and players join free. - The board: every player, every play, one word each. "3 not ready for Friday" at a glance. - Build the playbook from the built-in library, a photo of a play sheet, or the PDF you already send. - Up to 60 plays on your team's board. - The game-day report: one picture of who is ready for which play, to share with your assistants or the team chat. - Remove a player from the board when the roster changes. - An optional heads-up the night before a game, with how many players are ready. It is a reminder on your own phone; nothing is pushed to anyone. FOR PLAYERS - Quiz on YOUR playbook: tap the diagram, answer the call, name the assignment. Spaced repetition brings back what you're about to forget. - Chalk it up, then run it: draw a play on a real field or court, then run it against a real defense - football coverages, basketball drop, hedge, switch and ICE on the pick-and-roll - and get a verdict on every route. - Streaks with grace, mastery % per playbook, and a Lock Screen widget that counts the plays left before game day. - Optional Gate: if you want the extra push, lock the apps you choose until you pass a quiz. Off by default - your device, your call. FREE: the quiz, the built-in playbook library, one playbook of your own, the Play Designer, and team codes with every coach feature. PRO (for players who want more): unlimited playbooks and cards, adding your own plays to shared playbooks, unlimited Play Simulator runs (the first 3 are free) and game-day pause. Pay once, keep it for good. Football first, basketball properly - plays are plays. Everything stays on your device unless you create or join a team code. Then our server holds only what the team board needs: for a player, a nickname and one readiness word per play; for a coach, the team name, sport, play names and game date. Players can report a team, and a person reads every report. No ads, no tracking.
