What you get

Everything you need to run better sessions

One members library for planning, running and printing every session, built for coaches who work on the field.

Exercise library

Find the right drill in seconds

Search 600+ exercises, then filter by phase, zone, players and the space you have. Open any exercise for the setup, coaching points and a video where we have one.

Full sessions

148 sessions, ready to run

Pick a complete session by phase of play and zone of the field. Every session has four exercises with diagrams, coaching points and progressions, and prints as a 2-page practice sheet.

Create your own

Draw your own exercises

Start from a field template, draw zones, drop in players, then add passes, runs and dribbles. Bend any run. Save it to your library and print it.

Calendar

Plan your season, day by day

Pick a day and drop in a saved session, or find or build one for that date. Add any session to your calendar from its page and print it on the day.

Your team

Your team, set up once

Add your crest and colors, import your roster from Excel or CSV and mark who is available. Then build a depth chart for every formation.

Practice groups

Groups built for you

Tick one box and your players are split into groups for every exercise, using your depth chart and who is available. Drag anyone to swap, then print the groups on your sheet.
