Basketball Practice Planner App for Coaches

Plan sharper basketball practices in minutes. Practice Plan App lets you build timed practice plans — warmup, skill work, team concepts, and live play — save them as templates, and share the full plan with your staff before anyone steps in the gym.

Free to start. No credit card required.

Built for how basketball practice actually runs

Court time is short — plan every minute

Whether you get the gym for 90 minutes or share it with another team, a timed plan means warmup, stations, and 5-on-5 all fit — and practice ends on time.

Stations that rotate on the clock

Skill stations only work when rotations are tight. Put the rotation and teaching points in each period so assistants run their baskets without checking in.

Season-long skill development

Shooting, ball handling, defense, special situations — tag your periods and see over the season whether skill work is keeping pace with scrimmaging.

Everything you need to plan basketball practice

Practice Plan App replaces the practice card, the clipboard, and the pre-practice text to your assistants.

Plan practice in timed segments

Build practice as timed periods — warmup, shooting, skill stations, team concept, live play — each with its own duration, notes, and tags.

Keep practice on the clock

Set a start time and every period's end time calculates automatically. Cut a drill or extend 5-on-5 and the rest of practice adjusts.

Save practices as templates

Keep your best practices — first week, pre-game shootaround, skill development day — as templates and reuse them all season.

Share plans with your staff

Assistants see the full plan on their phones — stations, rotations, and coaching points — before they walk into the gym.

Tag drills by skill

Tag periods shooting, defense, transition, or press break and pull up every practice where you drilled it.

Track skill time across the season

See exactly how many minutes went to shooting versus scrimmaging this season — and adjust before it shows up in games.

Practices and games on a calendar

See the whole week — practices, games, shootarounds — on one team calendar your staff shares.

Basketball practice planning FAQs

Is there a free basketball practice planner app?

Yes. Practice Plan App is free to start — build basketball practice plans with timed periods, save templates, and share plans with your staff without a credit card. Paid plans add unlimited templates, branded PDF exports, and practice analytics.

How do I plan a 90-minute basketball practice?

Break the 90 minutes into timed periods: a dynamic warmup with the ball, shooting segments, skill stations, a team concept block on defense or offense, live 5-on-5, and pressure free throws to close. Practice Plan App times each period so practice ends exactly when your gym time does.

Can I share the practice plan with my assistant coaches?

Yes. Share any plan and your assistants see the same periods, station rotations, and coaching notes on their phones — with changes syncing instantly.

Does it work for youth, AAU, and high school basketball?

Yes. Youth, AAU, middle school, and high school coaches all use Practice Plan App. Periods and durations are fully customizable, so a 60-minute youth practice is as easy to plan as a 2-hour varsity session.

Can I reuse a practice plan as a template?

Yes. Turn any practice into a reusable template — your skill-development day, your pre-game shootaround — and load it each week instead of starting from scratch.
