What you get

Everything a coach needs between two whistles

No more marker-board photos and scattered notes. Build it once, run it clean, reuse it all season.

Draw animated drills and plays

Place players, defenders, cones and the ball on a half court, a full court, or either one with the out-of-bounds surround. Build the movement frame by frame, then play it back at whatever speed makes the point. Hide the controls and the court fills the screen.

The play editor: five attackers and five defenders on a full court, a Ball, Face, Screen and Box out toolbar above it, a Half / Full / OOB switch, a column of numbered frame thumbnails down the left, and a playback scrubber underneath.

Plan the whole practice

Drag drills into a timed plan, set durations, and reorder on the fly. The session adds up to the minute before you walk into the gym — and a variability bar shows at a glance whether you have built an hour of the same thing.

A practice called Weekly Practice: 56 of 60 minutes across six drills with four minutes left, a coloured variability bar, a notes summary, and each drill listed in order with its start time and length above a Start practice button.

Put the season on a schedule

Set a practice to repeat weekly, or drop a one-off on a date. Change a single occurrence — this Thursday starts late — without disturbing the rest of the series, and skip the week you have a road game.

The practice list: three practices with no date set, then an upcoming section showing a weekly Monday practice marked WEEKLY with eleven more dates, and two one-off practices on specific Saturdays and Sundays.

Run it courtside

Run mode shows the active drill big with its coaching cues beside it, tracks the clock, and moves drill-to-drill with a swipe. On iPhone and iPad it also keeps the screen awake.

Run mode: a full-court diagram filling the screen, the drill name and its coaching cues listed beside it, a progress bar reading one of six, and a large countdown clock above the skip, play and finish controls.

Keep what actually happened

Jot a note during practice or after it, against the session it belongs to. Months later the Past view still has them, so you can look back at what worked in August before you plan November.

The past-practice list grouped by month, each session showing its date and a note count, with one note open reading a coach's observation about spacing and cutting into occupied space.

Share with a link

Send a drill or an entire practice to an assistant, a parent, or another coach with a single link — no account needed to open it, an optional expiry date, and you can revoke any link from your profile.

A shared drill opened in a browser with no account: the HoopScape wordmark, the drill name, its length and variability, the court diagram with a play button, and the coach's description underneath.

Trade drills with other coaches

Post a drill to the community feed and pull other coaches' work straight into your own library. Follow the coaches worth following, bookmark what you want later, and rate what you have actually run.

The community feed with a search box and All, Following, New and Bookmarked tabs, showing posted drills with their matchup and length, a court thumbnail, a star rating and a bookmark control.

On the court

Everything you'd put on a whiteboard, and the parts you can't

Half court, full court, or either with the out-of-bounds surround. Screens, box-outs, cones and a coach — drawn the way a coach would draw them, then set moving.

The object palette open over a full court: Player five of ten, Defender five of ten, Line, Cone, Coach and Ball, each showing how many are already placed out of the maximum.

Every object on the floor

Players, defenders, cones, a coach, the ball, and player lines — a whole queue waiting at the wing as one object — placed where you want them. Passes, cuts and dribbles draw themselves from the motion you animate.

A half court with a screen set at the top of the key: the screener carries a screen marker against the defender, and orange trails show the ball-handler and the screener arriving from where they started.

Screens that read as screens

Mark who is screening and for whom, so the drill shows the action rather than two players standing near each other.

A half court under the rim: a defender carries a box-out marker sealing the player behind them off the glass, while a dashed line traces the shot going up from the wing.

Box-outs, marked

Show the contact your rebounding drill is actually about, instead of leaving it to the huddle to explain.

How it works
