The playbook
Every basketball headache, and the play that fixes it
Tap a challenge to see exactly how TheCrib handles it.
Post your practice schedule in TheCrib the moment you lock a gym slot. Players get a push notification with the time, court, and session focus — so nobody misses practice because it was buried in a group chat. When the gym gets moved, reschedule in one tap and everyone is notified instantly.
Scheduling & management
Run your basketball season on autopilot
TheCrib automatically sends game and practice invitations to your basketball players and tracks their responses. You can edit, reschedule, or cancel any event and players are notified instantly, no group chat needed. Attendance tracking for every session is built in, so you always know who showed up.

Real coaches, real results
“Before TheCrib I was running the academy on spreadsheets and a few group chats. Now the schedule, the roster and all our team messages are in one place, so I spend way less time on admin and a lot more actually coaching.”
Manage your team from anywhere
TheCrib is available on iPhone and iPad. Manage your basketball program, track attendance, and message your team from your pocket.

How do players join my basketball team on TheCrib?+
