Drills and training plans

Pick drills from the library or write your own, then build a training plan, or let drillmate suggest one from your team's focus.

The library

Open Drills. Every drill shows its theme, duration, intensity, how many players and how much space it needs, and an animation of how it runs.

• Search by name, or tap Filters to narrow by Source (Library, Mine, Other coaches), Themes, Age group, Duration, Players, Equipment you have, Intensity and Space you have.
• Open a drill to play its animation step by step, at a slower speed, or following one player.
• A drill shows whether it fits your teams, and what is missing if it does not ("Needs: …").

Write your own drill

1. On Drills, tap + (New drill).
2. Give it a Name, a Description, Themes, age, players, Duration, Equipment and Coaching points.
3. Optionally tap Create animation and draw it on the board: where everyone stands, then what they do, step by step. Defenders and keepers you do not script play by themselves.
4. Choose Who sees this drill: Only me, Only the club (it stays with the club), or Every coach.
5. Save.

On the free Kickoff plan you can keep five drills of your own. See Subscriptions and plans.

Build a training plan

A plan belongs to a booked training. Open the training from the team's Schedule or from Overview.

1. Tap Add drill and pick drills; each brings its duration. The picker shows only what suits the team first; Show all lists the rest.
2. Reorder drills with the arrows, or remove one with Remove from plan. The drill stays in the library.
3. The plan shows the total time, the load across the session, and under Prepare › Bring the equipment to pack.

You can also add a drill from the library: open it and choose Add to today's session or Add to another session.

Let drillmate suggest a plan

1. On an empty plan tap Suggest a plan (or Fill in the plan when it already has drills).
2. Choose How long is the training.
3. The suggestion picks drills for the team's focus, age, space and equipment that were not run in the last two weeks, grouped into warm-up, main part, game and cool-down.
4. Swap any drill with Another drill, then tap Add to plan. Nothing is saved until you do.

Kickoff gives one suggestion a week; Coach and Club suggest every time.

Team focus

On the team's Overview, Set focus picks one or two themes for a period. Suggestions then favour them, and the overview shows how many minutes went to each theme.

Who can do what

The team's coaches, and the club's owner and admins, plan trainings. Staff members see the plan and run it on the pitch. See Field mode and attendance.
