BasketballSketch

Sure enough it’s better to practice sports on an actual field, especially when you’re not performing a particular sport just for the fun of it. Entire strategies can be developed on a computer however, and BasketballSketch is the type of application to use in an attempt to get your basketball team closer to success.

First of all, you need to know that the application completely relies on Adobe AIR to both be installed and to properly work. Setup doesn’t take a lot of time though, and you’re also able to have it launched right afterwards. It shows up an intuitive window, with all controls in plain sight, so even inexperienced individuals get the hang of things.

You get to choose from either one or two halfs of a basketball court, depending on the type of game you create a schema for. Most of the space is the interactive canvas, fitted with a representative layout of the court. A side panel is fitted with multiple tools, which can be part of one of three groups, namely players, objects, and lines.

The application doesn’t offer any simulation options, so everything is entirely for informative purposes, just to help you and the team visualize that winning strategy. Unfortunately, you don’t have the option to save snapshots of the court to easily access and view them here, but you can export JPG pictures at the press of a button.

Tools might not be too abundant, but are enough to provide some variety to your schematics. Different instances of players can be placed, objects to mark particular courses, or lines to define movement paths. Some tools also come with options for colors.

All things considered, we can state that BasketballSketch is a reliable application you might want to use to create a plan in an attempt to improve your team’s winning chances. Even though there are no animated simulations, it offers enough variety of tools for proper schematics.
