Custom drills

Why create custom drills?

• Consistency: every coach describes the drill the same way, so a substitute or new coach understands what is meant.
• Quality: add the number of balls, court layout and coaching cues that suit you.
• Your own video: link to the club's own demo (within the club's consent rules). We recommend YouTube or Vimeo for stable playback; Instagram and Facebook also work but have somewhat more limited support (see The drill library).

Create and edit

Pick "New drill" in the drill section. Fill in name, description, theme, sub-theme and phase, so you can find it again easily through search and filters.

You can edit later without breaking sessions that already use the drill, but big changes to the description show up the next time the session is opened.

Limits per plan

When you've hit the Basic limit, you can:

1. Delete or merge drills that are nearly identical.
2. Share to the club and clean up duplicates (requires Hub).
3. Upgrade to Pro or Hub.

Share with the club (Planr Hub)

On club setups you can mark a drill as shared with the club, so authorised coaches in the same club can see it.

• Benefits: one source of truth for "U10 warm-up", fewer email attachments, easier onboarding.
• Responsibility: agree on who can publish club drills, and whether you want a quality round before things go shared.

A private drill is yours or your group's. A club drill is a shared working basis. Think through whether sensitive tactics should stay private.

Good descriptions

Write short and operational: organisation (e.g. 3v3 mid-court), equipment, intensity, duration per set and rotation. Avoid player names in drills that may be shared outside a closed circle.

Common issues

• "Can't save": the Basic limit, or a missing required field.
• "Can't see my drill": wrong filter on the list view.
• "The club can't see it": the drill isn't shared, or the colleague isn't on the right team.

Contact support if everything looks right but the drill is still missing.
