The drill library

The library is the heart of Planr. Here you'll find handball drills with descriptions, themes, durations and often video, so you can build a good session without digging through PDFs or old notes.

All plans (Basic, Pro, Pro + AI and Hub) give full access to the library. The difference is in how much you can save, share and use AI for, not in which drills you can explore.

Search and filters

Search field

Type words or parts of names. Try the synonyms you use locally too ("counter", "7 metres").

Filters

Filter by theme (technique, defence, goalkeeper and so on), sub-theme (shooting, passing, screens), age group, duration and phase of the session (warm-up, main part, cooldown). Combine filters to quickly narrow down to what you're working on.

Result list

Open a drill card to read the full description before adding it to the session. The cards are designed to give you enough context in seconds.

What a drill card shows

  • Name and short description of organisation and intent.
  • Suggested duration (you can adjust it once the drill is in the session).
  • Video where the contributor has added a link.
  • Theme, sub-theme, age group and phase used for filtering and translation.

Video

We recommend uploading or sharing video from YouTube or Vimeo – it gives the best and most stable playback both in the session builder and in Presentation mode. Links from Instagram and Facebook also work, but support is more limited: some posts require login or are blocked by the platform, and full-screen playback can be inconsistent.

Check the network in the gym before the first session with a new video link. If the signal is weak, have a plan B without streaming.

Sources and why you don't see everything

Drills can belong to different sources (federations, the club's own material, external contributors). Your club may have switched off some sources, and some drills may be marked as private or club-internal. If you see fewer drills than a colleague, the likely reasons are:

  • The club has disabled sources you don't have an agreement for.
  • Your role doesn't have access to the club's extended library.
  • The drill is shared with another team than yours.

Ask your club's Planr administrator before reporting it as a technical fault.

Combine with custom drills

You can mix library drills and your own drills in the same session. That's how you build the club's own profile on top of a professional foundation. See Custom drills.
