SportEditor for Coaches
Basketball Coaching Software for Film, Playbooks & Game Prep
SportEditor is the desktop app where your staff breaks down film, cuts clips, and builds animated playbooks, then shares and presents them across desktop and iPad. It runs on the games and scouting data you already have in Scouting4U.

- Preset breakdowns for Pick and Roll, off-ball screens, and defensive rotation.
Film breakdown
Customized tagging tool
Build the tag buttons your staff actually uses. Set up a template once, put every action on its own keyboard shortcut, then tag a whole game in one pass without stopping to hunt through menus.
- Custom templates for offense, defense, shot types, rebounds, steals, fouls, and whatever else you track.
- One-key shortcuts, so you tag live while the film keeps playing.
- Every tag becomes a clip, saved to a folder you can turn into a cutup.
