Practice plan generator
Checked · v0.1.0
Pick the sport, the ages, how long you have, how many are coming and one or two things to work on. You get a whole practice, timed to the minute: a warm-up, drills with drawings, a water break, a game where nobody is out, and a cool-down. Print it, or keep it on this phone. No account, and nothing you pick is sent.
Getting the plan maker ready…
How it builds a practice
Every plan has the same shape, the Gym's: warm up, learn, play, cool down, with the game last because that is what children remember. The drills are picked for the ages you chose and the things you want to work on, at least one for each. In each one at least half the group is moving at once, so nobody stands in a line. A drill with jumping in it brings the Gym's landing move into the warm-up.
The minutes always add up: in 45 minutes that is a 7-minute warm-up, three drills of 8, a water break, an 8-minute game and a 4-minute cool-down. Plans of 75 and 90 minutes get a fourth drill and a second water break. Shuffle swaps the drills for others that fit; the same picks on the same day give the same plan, so two coaches can share one.
For basketball, the generator tells you when the minutes you chose are outside what the NBA and USA Basketball Youth Guidelines suggest for the age. For a practice ready to print, see the twenty ready plans.
