A Luceo alternative that puts animated play design, a free Play Bank of hundreds of sets, a Practice Bank of complete practices, practice plans, a drill library of hundreds of drills, and shot charts in one place. Native Apple apps and a full web app. Individual Pro is $59.99 a year, or a Team Plan from $200 a year with a private playbook and unlimited seats for coaches, players, and parents.
It depends on how you buy and what you track. If you want a price you can see and one place for plays, practice plans, drills, and shot charts, Elite Hoops is the better pick: Pro is $59.99 a year and a Team Plan starts at $200, with no sales call. If you need player development logs and reports, or want to see how players engage with your plays, Luceo Sports covers that, with pricing by quote as of October 2026. Both animate plays and record whiteboard lessons.

Like building a play one step at a time? Elite Hoops lets you set the movement, timing, and teaching notes, then plan the drills that bring it to life. Short on time? Start from the Play Bank, hundreds of animated sets with notes on every step, or pull a complete practice from the Practice Bank, and make it yours in a tap. Luceo’s Predictive Drawing turns sketched actions into animations. Try your favorite set in Elite Hoops and see how it feels, on your own or with your staff on a Team Plan.
Try a BLOB or half-court set you know well. Add the movement and notes, then open the link as a player would. You’ll need to recreate your Luceo plays in the editor, so keep your current library while you try it.
“All of our plays are shared with our players using Elite Hoops. If you can use a whiteboard, then you can already use Elite Hoops.”
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.
