You can’t beat what you haven’t prepared for.

Most high school coaches scout in one of two ways. They scribble notes on whatever paper they have in the stands, then try to make sense of them at 11pm. Or they skip scouting and hope their system is good enough. Neither gives your players a clear picture of what they’re about to face.

The CourtCraft Hoops Scouting Report Template + Live Scout Sheet fixes that.

Two tools that work together:

The Live Scout Sheet A one-page sheet designed to be used in the stands or on the bench while you, an assistant, or a manager watches your opponent play. Everything is laid out so you can capture what matters in real time without writing a novel. It’s built for speed.

The Scouting Report Template The finished product. Take what you captured on the live sheet and turn it into a clean, organized report for your staff and players. It keeps your prep consistent from opponent to opponent, so you’re not reinventing the format every week.

Why the live sheet matters:

Most scouting templates are made for after the game, filled out at home from memory. The live sheet is different. It’s built to be used while the game is happening, so your notes are accurate and you’re not relying on what you remember three days later.

Who this is for:

High school basketball coaches who want to prepare for opponents without hours of extra work. It works whether you have a full staff or one assistant and a student manager.
