Draw your sets, build the practice around them, and track your players’ shooting. Elite Hoops brings that preparation together for about half the annual price of Hoops Geek Solo.

When you are ready to bring the staff in, an Elite Hoops Team Plan invites unlimited coaches, players, and parents at no cost per person. ## Start with one familiar set.

If you can use a whiteboard, then you can already use Elite Hoops.” Chauncey Duke Dukes Elite AAU ## Frequently asked questions ### How much can I save compared with The Hoops Geek? Elite Hoops individual Pro is $59.99/year USD. The Hoops Geek Solo is $120/year USD. You save $60.01 a year on your individual subscription, before tax. ### Do both apps have practice planning and animation? Yes. Both animate your plays and help you plan practice. Elite Hoops also includes shot charts and a whiteboard you can record in the Apple app, with native apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro. ### Does Elite Hoops have a rotation maker? No. The Hoops Geek offers rotation planning and live substitution tools. Elite Hoops focuses on preparing your plays, practices, and drills, plus tracking shots. ### Do my players need an account or app to watch a play? No. Send a public Elite Hoops link and players can watch in their browser without an account, app, or subscription. They can play the animation, move through each step, or read the storyboard. You control the link and can stop sharing whenever you want. You’ll need a coach account to create plays. Pro includes the full sharing and export tools. ### What can I use for free? Create a free account to explore the included coaching resources and free tools. The complete toolkit, unlimited plays, cloud sync, and video, image, and PDF exports require Pro. Individual Pro is $59.99/year USD, with monthly and quarterly options too. ### Does one subscription work on my phone and computer? Yes. Sign in with the same Elite Hoops account on the web and in the native iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Vision Pro app. Your Pro access carries across devices. Android coaches can use the web app in their browser; there is no native Elite Hoops Android app. ### Can I share a playbook with my coaches and players? Yes, with a Team Plan. It includes a private playbook with no cap on seats and no extra charge per person: invite your coaches, players, and parents and they sign in to see that team's plays, practices, and drills. Coaches can edit, players and parents can view, and the people you invite never pay anything. A Team Plan starts at $200/year USD for one shared team and includes individual Pro for you. Without one, individual Pro still lets you send any play as a link, video, image series, or PDF. ### What if Elite Hoops isn't for me? Can I get a refund? If you bought on the web, yes. Every online purchase comes with a 14 day money back guarantee. Email me at sup@daywellspent.io within 14 days of your purchase and I'll refund it. If you subscribed through the App Store, Apple handles the billing, so refund requests go to Apple directly (reportaproblem.apple.com). I can't see or approve those on my end, but Apple is usually quick about it. ## Give your players something worth watching. Use Pro for your own coaching toolkit, or bring everyone into your private playbook with a Team Plan. Invite unlimited coaches, players, and parents with no extra charge per seat.
