Frequently asked questions
Q1Is it really free for churches?
Yes. Churches get Pro Coach — normally $29/month — free: up to 5 teams and 100 players, the full practice planner with devotion and prayer blocks, player evaluations, unlimited plays, and clean PDF exports, plus Ministry Mode. Fill in the form on this page and Pro turns on immediately. Every guide here is free with no account at all. admin@sixsevenball.com
Q2Why is it free?
Because churches using basketball to reach kids shouldn't have to budget for software to do it. We review every church that signs up and may follow up to confirm; if you run a paid travel club, the regular plans are the right fit.
Q3Do you tell us what to teach?
No. We provide structure — a slot for a theme, a verse reference, and questions — and a starter series you can change completely. Your church controls the message, the translation, and the doctrine.
Q4Is this only for churches?
No. SixSevenBall is a basketball platform for coaches, clubs, schools, and camps. Ministry Mode is one program type inside it, so a church gets the same tools as everyone else.
Q5Do our volunteers need basketball experience?
No. Practice plans are timed to the minute with explained drills, and the volunteer guide covers safety, the devotion, and talking with parents.
