Basketball IQ training for teams
Teach your plays one read at a time.
MyBasketballIQ turns your playbook into a game. Players run every play from every spot, picking the right read at each step. By game day they already know where to go.

Why it works
Walkthroughs fade by Thursday. Decisions stick.
Practice time is short, and a whiteboard diagram only shows where to stand. Players learn a play when they have to make its reads themselves, again and again, until the right answer is automatic.
Learn by deciding
Every step asks “What do you do?” Get it right and the court plays it out. Get it wrong and you find out why.
See it from every spot
Players learn their teammates’ jobs too, so a sub can step into any role and the five move as one.
Reps away from the gym
Five minutes on a phone before bed beats another lap of the walkthrough. Practice starts where they left off.
Works offline
No Wi-Fi? No data? The plays still work.
Not every player has internet all the time. Once MyBasketballIQ is on a phone, players can run their team’s plays anywhere: on the bus to a tournament, in a gym with no signal, or at home without Wi-Fi.
Install it like an app
Add it to the home screen on any iPhone or Android phone, straight from the browser. No app store, no account for an app store, and it is free.
Practise with no connection
Every play, every spot and every defence on the team, with the coach’s notes, keeps working with no signal at all.
XP counts when they’re back
Runs finished offline are saved on the phone and added to XP, streaks and mastery the next time it connects.
The whole app is under 2 MB to store, so it is easy on phones with little space or a small data plan.

Every spot, both sides
Run any play as the 1 through the 5, to the left or the right. The reads flip with the floor.
Every defence
Man-to-man, 2-3, 3-2 and 1-3-1 zones, and full-court presses. Plays built for each one, with the reads that beat it.

Every step diagrammed with cuts, passes and screens, and the right read for each position laid out.
XP, streaks and badges
Levels, daily streaks, badges and a team leaderboard turn learning the playbook into a competition.

Nobody gets in without the coach. Nothing said disappears.
Built for teams of kids, with the controls schools and parents ask for.
How we keep teams safe- Coach approval. A team code only asks to join. Staff approve every player and parent.
- A permanent message record. Edits and deletions are kept, sealed and checkable.
- Parents can read along. Parent and guardian accounts see the chats but cannot post.
- School oversight. Give an athletic director read-only access to every message.
Questions
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. Every team can use MyBasketballIQ free, with no credit card. Coaches who want game-day readiness, zones, presses and unlimited plays can pay once for 12 months, or once for good. Players and parents never pay.
Do players need to download an app?
No app store needed. MyBasketballIQ runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, and installs to the home screen straight from the browser, so it opens like any other app.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Once it is on a phone, players can run their team’s plays, read the coach’s notes and see their progress with no Wi-Fi or data. Runs done offline are saved on the phone and count toward XP and streaks as soon as it connects again. It was built for players who do not always have internet at home.
What ages and levels is it for?
The plays are written for youth and high school teams, from first plays for beginners to sets with several reads. Girls’, boys’ and mixed teams are all supported: the plays say “she”, “he” or “they” to match.
How do players join my team?
You get a team code when you set up. Players and parents sign up, enter it, and ask to join. Nobody sees anything until you or your staff approve them.
Can I use my own play names?
Yes. Rename any library play to what your team calls it, and that is the name your players see everywhere.
Can my assistant coach or team manager help?
Yes. Invite staff with a one-time code and give each person a title: head coach, assistant coach or team manager. Everyone on staff can run the team. The free plan has room for a coach and one assistant.
Is it safe for kids?
Staff approve every member, parents can read the chats, every message is kept in a permanent record that cannot be quietly changed, and a school can be given read-only access. See Safety & privacy for the details.
Free for every team
No subscriptions. Players and parents never pay.
Set up your team tonight. Your players can be learning plays before practice tomorrow.
