BASKETBALL PLAY DESIGNER
Playside is a free online basketball play maker. Draw passes, cuts and screens, animate your plays, and organize them into a playbook you can print for practice or the bench.

BUILT FOR BASKETBALL
High school (84 or 94 feet), college, NBA or FIBA.
Half court for sets and baseline inbound plays; full court for presses and transition.
Each frame is the next moment of the set. Number the passes and cuts so the order reads at a glance.
Find baseline and sideline inbound plays (BLOB and SLOB), press breaks and other sets by situation.
Write each position's job once: who screens, who spots up, who gets back.
Six, eight or nine sets on one page, ordered by situation.
TO SCALE
Use a court drawn to scale to show where a screen starts, where a player cuts, and how far the next pass travels. Switch between half-court and full-court views as the play requires.
FRAME BY FRAME
Add a frame for each pass and cut. Players move, the ball follows, and the set plays back in order, so your team sees the timing instead of a tangle of arrows.
SAVED SETS
Save your five-player alignment with your own name, then reuse it on a new play. Browse starter sets by situation, from half court to inbound plays.
BENCH CARD
Print your sets six, eight or nine to a page, ordered by situation or by playbook. Hand it to your staff before tip-off.
LIVE MODE
Live mode keeps your edits temporary. Share your screen on a video call to workshop a set, then save a new version or reset to the original.
