Hi everyone,

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. This site has been invaluable to me in learning how to teach this game I love and grew up on. Thank you BTB and all its contributors!

I'm looking for a way to implement basketball court, players, dribble/passing lines, basically a diagram of the whole court and player responsibilities, into a homework package that I'm putting together for my boys. Any recommendations for an easy-to-use solution? What does breakthroughbasketball use for its diagrams? I don't mind having to pay if it's reasonable. I'd like to be able to draw up player responsibilities and then insert that diagram into a word document.

Any opinions/insight would be awesome! Thank you!

I use http://www.jes-basketball.com, it's sharware and free. $35 for the full version.
Also, if you have an iPad http://www.daren.com/playbookbball/playbookbball/ looks really neat, and only $10. Even have a version for iPhone/iTouch.

Good luck,
Steve

We have used several programs. We have used Jessoft and that's good. We also have our own web based software now too. We just use it for our own purposes and don't currently sell it. If you want to try it out, just let me know and I can get you set up.

FastDraw is another good program. The learning curve is steeper than JesSoft, but once you learn how to use it, it's very valuable.
