About SixSevenBall

Built by
a coach,
not a committee.

SixSevenBall was built by a basketball lifer who’s been on both sides of the whistle for two decades. Every tool in this app exists because a real practice plan, roster, or scouting report needed it first.

  1. 01Age 6

    Picked up a basketball

    Started playing basketball at six years old and never really stopped — grew up on the game before ever thinking about coaching it.

  2. 02Youth & high school

    Competitive basketball

    Played competitive basketball growing up, building the on-court foundation that later shaped how the practice plans, drills, and plays in this app are put together.

  3. 03USAF

    Served in the U.S. Air Force

    Served in the United States Air Force, playing basketball at Air Force bases all around the country along the way — the game traveled everywhere the service did.

  4. 04Since graduating high school

    Nearly 20 years of coaching

    Started coaching right out of high school and has been at it ever since — practice plans, player development, and program-building, season after season.

  5. 05Career highlight

    Turned a losing program into a championship contender

    Took over a losing program and rebuilt it into a championship contender — the same rebuild-and-develop approach built into SixSevenBall's tools.

Why it exists

The tool that
should have
existed all along.

From the coach

Nearly 20 years of coaching meant nearly 20 years of scribbled practice plans, sticky-note scouting reports, and spreadsheets that didn’t talk to each other. SixSevenBall is the tool that should have existed the whole time — built from the coach’s side of the program, not a generic sports-tech template.

Why “SixSeven”?

Deuteronomy
6:7.

“And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”

Deuteronomy 6:7 (KJV)

The name points at a verse about teaching kids in ordinary moments — sitting at home, walking down the road, lying down, getting up. Not in a classroom. In the middle of life.

For a coach, that’s a gym on a Tuesday night. A drill that finally clicks. A huddle after a bad quarter. The car ride home after a loss. Coaches teach far more than basketball, whether they mean to or not — how to work, how to lose, how to treat a teammate.

SixSevenBall exists to help coaches do that well, and to help churches that want to do it on purpose. Every coach is welcome here — you don’t have to share our faith to use the tools.
