Plan the practice, minute by minute

A practice is a length and a list of blocks. Put it on the week, fill the minutes with drills, plays and your own blocks, and take the sheet to the gym.

The week at a glance

On a laptop or tablet, practices sit on a week calendar: click a time to plan one there, drag it to move it, drag its foot to make it longer. On a phone the same week is an agenda, one day under the other. A practice runs from 30 to 120 minutes, in five-minute steps.

Your weekly schedule, set once

Tell the planner which days you practise, when each starts and how long it runs, and until when. It puts all of those practices on the calendar in one go, nothing twice, and you can still change any single one.

Blocks, back to back

Fill the minutes with library drills, your own drills, plays and blocks in your own words. The usual ones are a tap away: warm-up, dynamic stretching, water break, free throws, scrimmage, team talk, static stretching, cool-down. Every block gets its clock time, and the minute bar shows what is planned, left or over.

Fill the rest

Choose a focus, such as shooting or defense, and Fill the rest completes the time that is left: a warm-up first, drills that match the focus, a play or a team block, something competitive, a cool-down. It picks drills that suit your team’s age group. It is fixed rules, not AI, so the same plan always gets the same suggestions.

Ready-made practices

Start from one of 6 templates: fundamentals for 45 or 60 minutes for the youngest groups, and shooting, defense, game prep and transition sessions for U14 and older. Each is built from library drills and plays, with water breaks and a cool-down in place.

Focus blocks over several weeks

Give a few weeks one focus, such as two weeks of defense. Each practice in the block takes the next step, from introduce and refine to apply and compete, with one anchor drill coming back every time and a test at the end to compare with the first practice. Only the time a practice has left is filled; your own blocks stay where they are.

Coach notes with their sources

While you plan, short notes point out what is worth a second look: no warm-up yet, a drill that runs long for the age, a long stretch without water. Each says who recommends it, such as “According to USA Basketball …”, and names the source. They are advice, never a rule: dismiss one, or hide them all.

Built around your team

Each practice belongs to one of your teams. Set the team’s age group once, and the suggestions, the notes and the usual practice length follow it: 60 minutes for U10, 90 for U16. A team’s practices are shared with its coaches, never with its players.

Print it, copy it, sync it

Print a clean sheet with every block’s time, minutes and coaching points. Copy a practice to another day, or bring all of last week forward. Signed in, practices sync between your devices and your staff, and when two coaches change the same practice at once, both versions are kept.

The court is open.
