Blocks with minutes, intensity and objectives. Animated drills inside them. A live clock that runs the thing on the grass, and a reflection that pushes what you saw back into the plan, the drill history and the players' development files.
Sessions, fixtures and off days sit on one calendar. Because the fixtures are there, every training day gets its position in the cycle without you typing it: MD-6 through MD+6, measured from the nearest match, with your own override winning whenever you disagree with the arithmetic.
A session holds blocks. A block holds drill placements. Each level carries its own timing, its own coaching detail and its own separation between what the staff reads and what the players read. Nothing here is a text box pretending to be structure.
Every block carries an intensity. The session load is the minute-weighted average of those intensities, and the curve is drawn from the same numbers. It is a planning instrument, deliberately simple and completely inspectable.
A plan that only exists in the head coach's head is not a plan. The session carries its own pitch dimensions, an equipment list it works out for itself, and named staff against named blocks, so the people helping you know what they are doing before they arrive.
A block without drills is a heading. Attach the real thing: the animated drill from your library, with its diagram, its setup, its coaching points and the equipment it needs, and the plan starts doing work you would otherwise do twice.
Every plan in the public library is an actual session inside Teloframe: real blocks, real minutes, real animated drills attached to them. Open one to read it block by block, then copy the whole thing, drills included, into your own planner.
Live mode is not a read-only view of the PDF. It is the session actually running: a wall clock anchored on the server, a queue you tick off, fallbacks one tap away, attendance and check-ins captured while you are standing there, and an end-of-session reflection that opens with all of it already filled in.
Ending the session opens a reflection built to be filled in on a phone in a car park. Eight sections, all but the first optional, most of them already seeded from what live mode captured. What you put in comes back out in three places: the drill's history, the players' files, and next week's plan.
This is the join most session planners do not have. A block can be pointed at specific individual goals, and when the session closes, those goals collect dated evidence from the work that was actually done. No second app, no re-typing, and no blanket credit for turning up.
Every session starts as a draft that only your staff can see. Sharing it with the squad is one deliberate action, and it is the single switch that puts the session on the family portal, into calendar feeds, into reminders and into RSVP. Nothing half-finished leaks to a parent.
Most of a coaching year is the same two evenings repeating. Generate them properly, hang the fixtures underneath so the cycle labels itself, and spend your planning time on the sessions that are actually different.
This page is the training-session workflow in detail. The software page is the commercial overview, and the plan library is where you can read a finished session end to end.

Where the evidence your sessions produce actually lands: goals, reviews, and the family portal.
Drill editor
How the animated drills that sit inside your blocks are built, animated and exported.
Short answers on blocks, load, live delivery, the plan library, what copies into your workspace, and where AI is and is not involved.
Blocks with real drills, a clock that survives the pitch, and a reflection that pushes what you saw into the drill history, the players' files and next week's plan.
