How can we help you?

Get started with PrakticePlan and learn how to make the most of your practice planning.

Getting Started

First, you'll need drills in your private library. The fastest way is to browse the community drill library and copy a few drills with one click. You can also create your own drills manually.

Once you have drills saved:

  1. Click New Plan from your dashboard
  2. Give it a name and start adding your saved drills
  3. Drag and drop to reorder and set durations for each drill
  4. Click Save when ready

Progress is saved automatically as you work.

Click Library in the side navigation followed by Community to browse drills shared by other coaches. You can filter by age group, drill type, and more.

There are two ways to copy drills from the community library:

  • One-click copy - instantly saves the drill as-is to your library
  • Customize before saving - lets you edit the drill details before adding it to your library

You can also create your own drills from scratch by clicking New Drill.

Free accounts can save up to 10 drills and export up to 3 practice plans per week. Pro accounts get unlimited storage and plan exports.

Practice Plans

Click the share icon button in the top right of any practice plan card. You can download as:

  • PDF - great for printing or emailing
  • PNG image - perfect for text messaging or messaging apps

Free accounts can export up to 3 practice plans per week. Pro and Team accounts get unlimited plan exports.

Yes! When exporting your practice plan, you have the option to include full drill descriptions per drill. This is helpful for sharing detailed instructions with assistant coaches or explaining new drills to the team (also see Individual Drill Exports). You can toggle this on or off with the "Add Description to Export" option when editing a drill in a practice plan.
Team branding is a Pro feature. Once you upgrade, go to Settings → Team Branding and upload your logo and set your team colors. All future practice plan (and drill) exports will automatically include your branding. This makes plans look professional for parents and administrators.

Drills & Organization

Go to Library → Private and click New Drill. Then:

  1. Fill in the drill name, description, age-levels, and any other helpful information to search by
  2. Add diagrams using the built-in diagram editor, attach a youtube link, or upload existing media
  3. Click Publish to add it to your private library

PrakticePlan includes a built-in diagram editor powered by Excalidraw so you can create professional drill diagrams without any external tools.

To create a diagram:

  1. When creating a drill, go to the Media step (Step 3)
  2. Click Draw Diagram
  3. Choose a template: Full Field, Half Field, or Blank Canvas
  4. Use the drawing tools to add players, movement arrows, equipment, and text
  5. Click Save Diagram when finished

Tips:

  • Use different colors/letters to represent offense vs defense or different player groups
  • Add solid arrows to show player movement
  • Add dotted arrows to show ball movement
  • Double-click on arrows to add text labels or order of events
  • Include text directly in the diagram for more clarity
  • Diagrams are saved as high-resolution images that look great in drill exports
Yes! You can export any drill from your private library as a PNG image. When viewing drill details, click the 3 dots in the top right, and select Export as Image. This is perfect for texting a specific drill to an assistant coach or posting in your team's group chat. Both free and Pro users can export individual drills.
Yes! When you copy a drill from the community library to your private library, it becomes fully editable. You can change the name, description, duration, add notes, or modify any details to fit your coaching style. The original community drill stays unchanged.
