Play designer for coaches
Draw the play.
Step it. Run it.
3 on 2 fast breakEvery move on one diagram. Press Run to watch it move.
Chalkstep turns a play into numbered steps your team can watch move: runs, dribbles, passes and screens, on a phone at practice or the gym projector. Markers carry numbers and positions, never names. No account and no email.
Free during preview: every Chalk Pass feature is open and nothing is charged.
How it works
Three moves. That is the whole tool.
- 01
Draw
Drop offense, defense, the ball and cones on a court or field. Label markers 1 to 5, or PG, C, LW: one or two characters, numbers and positions rather than names.
- 02
Step
Add a step and drag whoever moves. Chalkstep draws the line for you, and a ball beside a player travels with the dribble.
- 03
Run
Press Run and the play moves one step at a time, as slowly as your newest player needs. Then print it or send a view-only link.
The lines
Four lines every player already reads.
The same marks coaches draw on a whiteboard, drawn clean every time, so a play looks the same on the bench, the projector and the printed card.

Surfaces
Seven boards. Pick yours.

See the detailsNo accounts
Your Playbook opens with a private link, like a key. No sign-up, no email, no password to forget.
Positions, not people
Markers hold one or two characters, and nothing on the site asks for a player's name, photo or schedule. Play names and notes are short free text: please keep players' names out of them too.
Practice-ready
Once the board has loaded, drawing and Run keep working with no signal in the gym (saving needs one). Cards print clean in black and white, and the Full screen button fills a projector where the browser allows it.
