Free Basketball Coaching Templates. Score Sheets, Practice Plans, and More.

Every preseason I end up Googling the same stuff. "Basketball practice plan template." "Free basketball stat sheet PDF." "Tryout evaluation form basketball." And every time, the results are the same. Either some site wants my email before I can download anything, or the template was clearly made by someone who's never actually coached a game.

So I made my own. And I'm putting them here for free.

What's in the Toolkit

Four templates. All PDF. All free. No email, no account, no catch. Download, print, use.

Score Sheet - Full game-day scorebook page. Running score 1 through 120, personal fouls grid (P1 through P5 plus technicals), quarter-by-quarter scoring dashes, team fouls by quarter with boxes to circle, timeouts, and a scoring summary section for 2s, 3s, free throws, and total points. Landscape format so it prints on a standard sheet and gives you room to write.

Practice Plan - Seven blocks: warm-up, five skill blocks, and conditioning/cool down. Each block has columns for the drill name and coaching notes with blank time fields so you're not locked into a set schedule. Notes section at the bottom for post-practice thoughts. Print a stack at the start of the season and you're good.

Tryout Evaluation - Nineteen skills across offense, defense, and intangibles. Each one rated 1-to-5 and you circle the rating. Notes column for each category and an overall assessment row at the bottom that goes from Cut all the way up to Impact Player. One form per kid, print as many as you need.

Scouting Report - Key players table, offensive tendencies, defensive tendencies, and a game plan section. The tendencies sections have guided prompts so you're not staring at a blank page the night before a rivalry game. Keys to win and matchup adjustments at the bottom.

Why I Made These

Our program was buying pre-printed scorebooks every year. They work fine but they're generic and you burn through them. The practice plan templates I found online either had too many blocks or too few. And every tryout eval form I've ever used was missing half the skills I actually care about when I'm making roster decisions.

I just built what I wanted to use. If they help you too, that's the whole point.

How to Use Them

Head to the resources page, download whichever templates you need, and print them. That's it. The score sheet prints best in landscape. Everything else is portrait.

If you want to share them with your staff or other coaches, go for it. That's what they're there for.
