Know The Game · Free
START FROM
SQUARE ONE.
For the parent who never played, and the brand-new player who's still figuring out where to stand. This is the absolute basics of the game — what's happening on the floor and how to read it — in plain words, no jargon, no catching up to do first.
Free · No Card
Open it and start reading.
Short reads you can finish on your phone in the bleachers.
What's Inside
READ THE FLOOR.
Four short reads — the absolute basics, nothing more. By the end you'll watch a game and actually know what you're looking at, and talk to your kid about it without faking it.
What the five spots do
Why a guard isn't a forward isn't a center, in plain words. What each kid on the floor is actually trying to do, and how to tell who's doing their job.
Why they keep moving
Spacing, cuts, screens — the stuff that looks like chaos until you know what you're looking at. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
What the coach is yelling
Half of what gets shouted from the bench is the same five things. We'll tell you what they mean so the noise turns into a game you can follow.
How to watch your kid
What's worth watching that isn't the ball. The reads that tell you whether your kid is getting better, even on a night the shots don't fall.
The Catch
THERE ISN'T ONE.
This one's free. No card, no trial that bills you later, nothing locked behind a paywall. Read it, see if the way we talk fits, and decide for yourself whether you want more.
And it really is just the basics — the floor, the positions, the why. The coaching, the workouts, and the recruiting work are the rest of the catalog: a click away when you're ready, and not a second before.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
KNOW BALL TO START.
That's the whole point. Open it, read the first one, and see the game a little clearer than you did yesterday.
