Basketball play flashcards and quiz

Turn the plays you draw into flashcards (the diagram on the front, the name and notes on the back) and a quiz that asks which play is which.

How this works

Draw each play in the free play designer and add it to your deck. The cards print six to a page: print double-sided, flipping on the long edge, and each back lands behind its front. The quiz shows each play's first frame and asks for its name among others from your deck, on screen with a score or printed with an answer key. The notes on a card are the notes you wrote, or the designer wrote, for each frame.

  • Up to 24 plays in a deck; the quiz needs at least two, each with its own name
  • Only your own drawings: plays from the Ball Coach library aren't released for printing in packs
  • Letter or A4, portrait; print double-sided on the long edge for backs behind fronts
  • The worked example is three sample drawings, not plays to teach

Made in your browser. Your plays and their names are never sent to Ball Coach or to analytics. Your deck stays in this browser for 7 days.
