Questions
What's the best way to draw basketball plays?
Use a consistent key: numbers for offensive players, X's for defenders, a solid arrow for a cut, a dashed arrow for a pass, a zig-zag for a dribble and a line ending in a bar for a screen. Draw one step per court so players can follow the order.
Can I print blank basketball court diagrams?
Yes. Print the half-court sheets on this page, 4 or 6 per page, or the single-court playbook page with room for notes and reads.
Is there a free basketball play designer?
Yes. The Extra Coach play designer runs in your browser. Drag players, draw cuts, passes and screens, add a defense and watch the play animate. You can share plays with players in one link.
Can I turn my hand-drawn plays into digital plays?
Yes. Take a photo of a play on a whiteboard or in a notebook and The Extra Coach draws it as an animated play you can edit.
