Start from a blank session or from a copy
New session
Give the session a name that explains what it contains, for example "Shooting after a breakthrough" or "6:0 defence and counter-attack outlets". Team and date come for free from the calendar, so use the name to say something about the content. Add a short intent in the description if you like.
Copy the previous session
The fastest way to work week to week is to copy last week's session and adjust a few drills. Then you don't have to rebuild the structure from scratch.
Import from other tools
Planr does not currently support import from other session-planning tools. The fastest path is to rebuild the sessions in the session builder – it usually takes only a few minutes once you have the drills ready in the drill library or as custom drills.
How you control the session
Add drills
Open the drill list (library or your own) in the session view. Each drill card has a plus button (+); tap it to add the drill to the session. The button turns into a minus when the drill is already in the session, so you can remove it again.
Reorder
Grab a drill row and drag it up or down. The order is the one you'll go through in Presentation mode.
Set duration
Tap the time field on the drill row and pick minutes from the list, or set a custom time where Planr supports it.
Sections and stations
Use "Add section" to break the session into blocks like warm-up, main part and cooldown. If you're running station-based training inside a section, choose "Add station".
Two drills side by side
Use "Merge into parallel drills" between two regular drills when they should be displayed side by side during the run-through.
Save
Tap Save session when you're done. Edit session lets you change name, description, theme and intensity later.
How many sessions can you save?
| Plan | Saved sessions |
|---|---|
| Planr Basic | Up to 3 saved sessions |
| Planr Pro, Pro + AI, Hub | Unlimited |
If you hit the Basic limit, you have to delete or archive sessions, or upgrade. See Subscriptions, pricing and payment.
Team, theme and intensity
Team
Tie the session to one or more teams when Planr asks, so it shows up in the right calendar and filters.
Theme
Pick a theme that describes the content (you can combine up to five). Consistent tagging makes it easier to sort and reuse good sessions later.
Intensity
Set a scale from 1 (low) to 5 (high) for the planned load. Use it to spot if you have many hard sessions in a row. Intensity does not replace your judgement on the floor.
Privacy and visibility
Sessions can be private, club-internal or more broadly shared depending on the setup. Think through whether the session is just for the staff or whether it should be available as a template for the club. See Privacy and what is shared.
After the session is finished
- Drop it on the right date in the calendar so co-coaches know what is planned.
- Try Presentation mode a few minutes before practice to check video and full-screen.
- Share via link when someone needs to read through the plan before the gym.
