Some programs keep TeamSnap for club registration and payments and use Hoops Helm for coaching. If you only need a schedule and messaging, TeamSnap or our Manage plan both work. If you want plays, practices, stats and scouting in the same place as your schedule, that is what Hoops Helm is for.
TeamSnap offers a free plan and paid plans; see teamsnap.com for current prices. Hoops Helm starts at $149 a year for Manage, which covers schedule, RSVPs, chat, parent updates and live scoring. Coach ($399) and Head Coach ($549) add the coaching tools TeamSnap does not have.
