DraftTime for Basketball

Tryouts That Run Like a Pro Testing Day

Objective, station-based basketball tryouts — timed agility, measured jumping, shooting percentages and position ratings that take the politics out of team placement.

  • Station-Based Tryouts
  • Shooting Percentages
  • Balanced Teams

The Workflow

How DraftTime Works for Basketball

From registration through results — the full Basketball operating cycle on one platform.

  1. 01

    Register & Segment

    Programs and seasons with grade or age eligibility, divisions from rec to travel. Waivers, payments and position preferences collected at signup — one permanent profile per player.

  2. 02

    Run Tryouts

    Stations for lane agility, sprint, vertical jump and shooting series. Evaluators score on any device, timed drills run on the embedded speed timer, and walk-ups check in on site.

  3. 03

    Score & Place

    Weighted metrics emphasize what your program values. Performance Lab scores and percentile rankings rank every tryout, and blind scoring keeps each evaluator independent.

  4. 04

    Build Teams

    Auto-generate balanced teams from Performance Lab scores, or run a live draft with a public viewing mode for families.

Registration & Athlete Profiles

Every Athlete, One Permanent Record

Registration

Grade or age eligibility with a configurable cutoff date, custom divisions from rec to travel/AAU, capacity limits, waitlists and family discounts for siblings.

Athlete Profiles

Positions from point guard to center, height, graduation year, photos and achievements on a permanent profile that follows the player across programs.

Performance Lab

Basketball Performance Lab Templates

A typical DraftTime basketball tryout template:

MetricMeasured AsNotes
Lane Agility lower is bettertime · seconds—
¾-Court Sprint lower is bettertime · seconds—
Vertical Jumpdistance · inches—
Shooting Series (FG%)percentageAttempts configurable
Free-Throw SeriespercentageAttempts configurable
Ball-Handling Ratingrating1–10 scale
Defensive Ratingrating1–10 scale
Rebounding Ratingrating1–10 scale

Build any of these with DraftTime's Performance Lab template builder — tryout, practice, game and camp templates with custom metric types, multiple attempts, position-specific scoring and 1–5, 1–10 or 1–100 scales. Timed drills can run on the embedded speed timer.

Event Day

Check-In, Stations & Live Operations

The same event engine runs Performance Lab sessions, tryouts, camps, clinics and meets.

Event Day & Check-In

Every Basketball event runs on the same operational engine. Families register online and each registration receives its own check-in QR code. On event day, staff scan athletes in at the gate with optional photo capture, add walk-ups on site, and track every station, evaluator and athlete in real time from Mission Control.

Scoring Workflow

Evaluators score from any device at their station, and blind scoring keeps results hidden until submission so each judge works independently. A head evaluator can review and override with a recorded reason. Weighted metrics and position-specific scoring let your Basketball staff emphasize exactly what matters for each position group.

Rankings & Results

Percentile rankings and Performance Lab scores rank the full tryout pool, live leaderboards update during the event and can be made public, and automated result emails reach every family.

Team Building

Drafting & Rosters

Placement tools for programs that form teams from Performance Lab results.

Draft & Team Building

The Balanced Team Builder converts Performance Lab scores into fair, competitive teams automatically — or run a live draft for full control, with roster lock for final placements.

Season Operations

Everything Around the Performance Lab

Communications

Targeted email and SMS with per-recipient delivery tracking and a full communication history. Send to filtered groups by division, program or event — and after every Basketball event, automated result emails reach each family automatically.

Payments & Registration Management

Online Basketball registration with Stripe or PayPal checkout, Save & Pay Later for families who need time, family/sibling discounts, coupon codes and scholarships, payment plans, and parent-ready invoices and receipts that carry the registration's check-in QR code.

Development & Athlete History

Agility times, jump measurements and skill ratings trend season over season on each player's permanent profile, with AI development plans built from their measured results.

The Whole Organization

Families & Administrators

Parent & Family Experience

Parents register in minutes, receive automated confirmations and result emails, view public leaderboards when you enable them, and follow their athlete's Basketball development on a permanent profile that travels across seasons and organizations.

Administrative Tools

Role-based staff permissions (Commissioner, Director, Division Director, Coach, Evaluator, Check-In Staff, Finance and more), a full audit log of sensitive actions, custom division eligibility rules with a configurable age cutoff date, capacity limits and waitlists, white-label branding, and your own public organization website — one place to run Basketball.
