Planned in the car
Ten minutes before it starts, from memory. Not because nobody cares — because there has never been anywhere to keep it.
For community sporting clubs
Build your drills once, with the diagram and the coaching points on them. Put the session together as a run sheet with a clock that tells you when you will actually finish. Ask who is coming.

Add a block and the finish time moves. So the time you tell the squad is true.
The Thursday problem
They get a squad, two nights a week and a bag of balls. Everything else — what you are actually doing tonight, how long it runs, who is turning up — comes out of one person's head, usually on the way to the ground.
Ten minutes before it starts, from memory. Not because nobody cares — because there has never been anywhere to keep it.
Every club has a coach who knows forty good drills. When they step down, the club keeps none of them and starts again next February.
A session with no clock on it finishes when it finishes. People drift to the car park, and the block you most wanted to run is the one you cut.
How it works
It does five things properly rather than forty badly, and this is the whole loop. Most weeks, step two takes about ten minutes.
Drag cones and players onto a real playing surface, draw the runs and the passes, and write the two or three coaching points that matter. Starter drills come with it for all six sports, so nobody begins with an empty library.
Drop blocks into a run sheet in the order you will run them. Each one has a length, and the session adds itself up to a finish time you can rely on.
Publish, and everyone who plays gets told once. They tap it and the whole session opens on their phone — diagrams, coaching points and times.
The drill library
An oval is an oval, a court is a court, and a drill drawn on one renders on it forever — whatever sport you happen to be looking at today.

Availability
You cannot plan a session for twenty-two and then run it for nine. Players tap in or out for the week, and you see the number before you write anything.
At the ground
The whole session is on the phone before you get there — diagrams, coaching points, times, the lot. An app that needs a signal at a ground that has none is not a slow app. It is a dead one.
Your warm-up does not change much. Save it once and drop it into any session — the part you think about each week is the middle.
Every session you have run, with what was in it. So next preseason starts from something instead of from nothing.
What this week actually covers, and what you have not touched in a month. It is easy to keep running the thing you are best at teaching.
The library, the blocks and every session come out in one file whenever you want them. No club should be stuck with a tool because its own work is trapped inside it.
Six codes, six surfaces
Most coaching tools were built for one code and ask the rest to make do. Each of these draws on its own surface, with its own coaching vocabulary and its own starter drills — and a club running two codes keeps a separate workspace for each.
Where it came from
Over-35s football: long warm-ups, tendon work every session rather than after something goes, and running blocks built around repeat efforts with real recovery in between. The injuries that end a community season are calves and hamstrings, and they almost all happen in the first twenty minutes or the last ten.
So the starter library for every sport opens with a proper tendon preparation block and closes with a real cool-down. Get that right for a thirty-nine-year-old and it is right for everybody else too.
The coach, the assistant, or whoever ends up with the cones in the back of their car.
Handed a junior side and never coached before. They need a session for Thursday that is safe and finishes on time.
Football in winter, cricket in summer, one library, a workspace for each.
The one who takes over in three seasons and inherits everything instead of a jumper.
Pricing
One price, per coach, monthly or annually. No tiers to work out, nothing counted by the number of sides you run, and no per-player fee — ever.
Billed once a year — $6.58 a month, and $101 less than paying monthly.
Book a demoEverybody else is free. Players, and any assistant who only reads the session rather than building it, never need a seat and never pay anything. A club with one coach pays for one.
Talk to us
Book a demo and we will walk you through it — twenty minutes, your questions, no pitch. Or just tell us what would help your club: if it does not fit how you actually train, that is the thing we most want to hear, and it is how most of this got built.
Questions
If you play Australian rules, soccer, netball, rugby league, cricket or basketball, yes — each one has its own playing surface, its own coaching vocabulary and its own starter drills. If you play something else, tell us in the form above. Adding a sport is one afternoon of work, and the order we do them in is decided by who asks.
Yes, and that is not a footnote. The whole session loads onto the phone before you leave, and at the ground it runs on what is already there. Country grounds rarely have a signal and an app that needs one is no use at the only moment it matters.
This week's session, the drills in it, and whether they have said they are coming. That is all — they cannot change anything, because changing it is not their job. The difference between a coach and a player is not a hidden button; it is a rule the database itself checks on every single read.
It runs in a browser, and there are iPhone and Android apps for people who would rather have an icon. Same account, same session, whichever they open. Players sign in with a team code, so nobody has to be invited one at a time.
You take them with you. The library, the blocks and every session export in one file whenever you want, and anybody can delete their own account from inside the app without asking us.
$15 a month per coach, or $79 a year — which works out at $6.58 a month. A seat is for anybody who builds sessions; players, and any assistant who only reads them, are free and never need one. No per-player fee, no charge for extra sides, and no separate price per sport.
No. It was built first with an over-35s football side because that is where getting the warm-up wrong is most expensive, but the same run sheet runs an under-12s netball session. The app holds training plans and availability — it is not a place for junior medical records or photographs.
