How To Create A Practice Plan

Practice Plans are pre-built, sport-specific practice sessions available in the TeamSnap ONE app. Each plan includes age-appropriate drills and coaching guidance developed with professional leagues and coaching organizations. Practice Plans are available for soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, flag football, lacrosse, ice hockey, and volleyball—all at no additional cost with TeamSnap ONE.

Why Use Practice Plans?

Think of Practice Plans as an assistant coach, designed to take the stress out of planning for practice.

With Practice Plans, coaches can:

• Spend less time planning and more time coaching.
• Feel confident running practice, especially if you’re new or juggling a lot.
• Run structured, balanced, and age-appropriate practices.
• Give players and parents a clear idea of what practice will look like.

They’re designed for the busy schedules, mixed abilities, and limited time on the field that characterize youth sports.

What's Inside a Practice Plan?

• A Full Practice Outline: Warm-ups, drills, small-sided games, and a wrap-up, laid out in order so you’re never wondering what’s next.
• Short, Easy-to-Follow Videos: Quick clips that show how to set up each drill and what it should look like in action.
• Simple Written Tips: Straightforward instructions on how to organize players and what to focus on while the drill runs.
• An Equipment Checklist that Fits your Team: The app adjusts quantities based on your roster size, so you know what to bring before you leave home.

If you’ve got a few minutes before practice, you’ll feel prepared. If you’re running late, you can still pull the plan up on your phone and keep things moving.

Steps to Add a Practice Plan

You can add a Practice Plan when you add a new practice event on your calendar or after by clicking on the event on your schedule

When you Create a New Practice

1. Open the TeamSnap ONE Mobile App
2. Add a New Practice to your team's schedule
3. When asked if you need help planning, click Browse Practice Plans
4. Ensure your Team’s Age is correctly set at the top of your screen
5. Scroll between All Plans and other options to see the different Practice Plan Tracks available
6. Click into the appropriate Practice Plan for your team’s goals and select Use this Practice Plan

For a Practice That's Already Scheduled

1. Open the Practice on your schedule
2. Choose the option to Add a Practice Plan
3. Scroll through the options and select a plan in line with your goals

Once you’ve selected a plan, you can click into the full plan and:

• Adjust the time spent on each drill (for example, add more time to a favorite drill and shorten another).
• Remove the entire plan from the practice if you change your mind.
• Replace it with a different Practice Plan from the library.

The total plan length will default to match your practice duration, so make sure to balance things out if you adjust the timings.

Who Can See the Practice Plan?

• Coaches see the full plan, including drills, videos, and timing.
• Parents and players can also preview the plan from the practice event and watch videos ahead of time if they want

Practice Plans vs. At Home Training

How They Work Together

Think of it like this:

• Practice Plans = What you run with the team
• At-Home Training = Extra reps between practices

Together, they help players improve both on and off the field

Looking Ahead

We’re continuing to invest in Practice Plans based on feedback. In future updates, we’re exploring ways to give coaches more flexibility, including:

• Customizing individual drills within a plan
• Mixing and matching drills across multiple plans
• Creating fully custom practice plans

Our goal is to make Practice Plans even more adaptable for coaches.
