Terms of Service
Skills Academy mobile app · Last updated 1 October 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and Skills Online, LLC ("Skills Academy", "we", "us") covering the Skills Academy mobile app. Please read them — by creating an account or using the app you accept them. They also serve as the end user licence agreement for the app.
In short. A parent opens the account and is responsible for it. Paid features are a subscription bought through the App Store, which renews until you cancel it in your device's settings. Training carries a risk of injury, so use common sense. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app at any time.
1. Who may use the app
A Skills Academy account must be opened and held by a parent or legal guardian aged 18 or over, on behalf of the young player in their care. The account holder is responsible for everything done through the account, including by their player.
Young players do not hold their own account and do not agree to these terms themselves. If you are a young player reading this, ask a parent to set the account up for you.
2. What we provide
Skills Academy gives your player coaching videos, weekly workouts, a drill library, a skill tree, mindset guides, monthly challenges, and a record of their progress. We add to it and change it over time, and we may add, alter or retire features.
Skills Academy is training material. It is not personal coaching, and we do not promise any particular improvement, playing time, selection, or result on the court.
3. Training safely
Please read this with your player. Basketball training carries a real risk of injury. Nothing in the app is medical advice and nobody in it is your doctor.
Warm up first. Train on a safe, clear surface with suitable footwear. Work within your player's current ability rather than copying a drill at full speed. Stop immediately if anything hurts. Speak to a doctor before starting a new training programme, and about any injury, pain or medical condition. You are responsible for deciding that a session is appropriate for your player, and for supervising them.
4. Subscriptions and payment
Some features need a paid subscription. Everything about the subscription is shown in the app before you buy, and Apple confirms it at the moment of purchase.
- What you get: full access to the workouts, drill library, skill tree, mindset guides and challenges for as long as the subscription is active.
- Price and length: shown on the purchase screen in your local currency before you confirm. We offer a monthly and an annual plan.
- Automatic renewal: the subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the price shown, unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before that period ends. Your Apple account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period.
- How to cancel: in your device's own subscription settings — on iPhone, Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- Free trials or introductory offers, where we offer them, are described on the purchase screen. Any unused part of a free period is forfeited if you buy a subscription before it ends.
- Payment and refunds are handled by Apple under the terms of your Apple account, not by us. Ask Apple for a refund; we cannot issue one on Apple's behalf.
- Price changes: if we change the price of a plan, Apple will tell you and ask you to agree before the new price is charged. You can cancel instead.
If you already pay us for training outside the App Store, we may unlock the app's paid features for you at no extra charge. That is a courtesy we can withdraw, and it does not create a separate subscription.
5. Your account
Sign-in works by emailing a one-time code, so keep the email address on the account secure — anyone who can read its inbox can reach the account. Tell us at support@skillsacademy.me if you believe someone else is using it. Keep the details on the account accurate, and do not let anyone outside your household use it.
6. Deleting your account
You can delete the account and everything in it at any time: Settings → Delete my account. It is immediate and permanent. As explained above, it does not by itself cancel an App Store subscription — cancel that in your device's subscription settings, or you will keep being charged.
7. Things you agree not to do
- Copy, record, download, share or republish our videos, guides or other content, or show them publicly.
- Share the account outside your household, or sell or rent access to it.
- Upload anything that shows a person who has not agreed to be filmed, or anything unlawful, dangerous, hateful, sexual, or otherwise inappropriate for a children's app.
- Pretend to be someone else, or enter a challenge with a clip that is not your player's own effort.
- Try to break, overload, reverse-engineer or gain unauthorised access to the app or its servers, or use it with automated tools.
8. Content you upload
Anything you or your player upload stays yours. You give us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store and display it strictly for the purpose it was uploaded for — for example, so a coach can judge a challenge entry — and for as long as you keep it in the app. That licence ends when the content is deleted.
Challenge clips are seen by coaches only. Winners are announced by nickname and score, and we do not show a clip to other members of the app unless we have asked that player's parent and been given permission for that specific clip. You may withdraw that permission at any time.
By uploading, you confirm you are the parent or guardian of the player shown, that anyone else visible in the clip has agreed to be filmed, and that you have the right to give us the licence above. We may remove content that breaks these terms.
9. Our content
The coaching videos, guides, written material, artwork, the Skills Academy name and the logo belong to us or to the people we licence them from. Your subscription is a personal, non-transferable permission to use them inside the app for your household's own training, and nothing more. It grants no other rights.
10. Privacy
How we handle information about you and your player is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. It matters especially here because our members are children — please read it.
11. Ending access
You can stop using Skills Academy at any time by cancelling the subscription and deleting the account. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts other members at risk, and we will explain why unless we are legally prevented from doing so. If we close an account without good reason, we will refund the unused part of the current period.
12. Apple's required terms
These terms are between you and Skills Online, LLC only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide any support or maintenance for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to any warranty that applies, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation at all, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses arising from a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, not Apple's.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with any claim you or a third party makes about the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet a legal requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar law.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and resolving any claim that the app infringes someone else's intellectual property.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a United States Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
- You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app.
13. Disclaimers
We provide the app with reasonable care and skill, but we cannot promise it will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will suit any particular purpose. Except where the law says otherwise, the app is provided "as is".
Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have as a consumer that cannot be taken away by agreement.
14. Limits on liability
We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
Subject to that: we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, opportunity or data; and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights, we will tell you inside the app before it takes effect, and the date at the top will change. Continuing to use the app after that means you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept them, cancel your subscription and delete the account.
16. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules, and the courts of that state have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country you live in, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts where the law gives you that right.
