Session Planner

The session planner that connects the whiteboard to the pitch

Plan block by block, attach animated drills, run it from your phone on the grass, and let the reflection feed the drill history, your players' development files and next week's plan.

What it replaces

Most coaches are not missing a session planner. They are running four tools that do not speak to each other.

The usual stack

A Word document per session, rewritten from the last one
Drill diagrams drawn somewhere else and pasted in as images
A group chat where the plan and the RSVPs get lost together
A spreadsheet nobody updates for player development
A printout that is already out of date by Tuesday evening

One object instead

The session is structured data, so it can be copied, scheduled, repeated and reported on
The drills are animated and live in a library, attached rather than pasted
Sharing it is one switch that reaches the portal, the calendars, the reminders and RSVP
What you saw goes onto the players it was about, without a second entry anywhere
Next week starts from this week, including the carryovers you wrote at the end

Everything a session plan actually needs

Not a document. Not a spreadsheet. A structured object that knows its duration, its intensity, its drills and who it is for.

Block-structured sessions

Six block types, each with minutes, intensity, objective, principles, learning outcomes, and coach notes kept apart from player notes.

The week, the month, the season

Sessions, fixtures and off days on one calendar, with MD-6 to MD+6 read off your own fixture list rather than typed in by hand.

Animated drills in the blocks

Attach the real drill, not a description of one. Each placement keeps a snapshot, so archiving a drill later never breaks an old plan.

Live delivery

A server-anchored clock, a queue you tick off, fallback drills one tap away, attendance and check-ins captured while you stand there.

Reflection that goes somewhere

Eight sections, mostly optional, seeded from the live run. It feeds drill history, player files and next week's carryovers.

One switch to the families

Sharing a session puts it on the family portal, in calendar feeds, in reminders and open for RSVP. Drafts appear in none of them.

From Monday's theme to the players' files

Six moves, each one feeding the next, with nothing retyped in between.

Step 1

Set the week

The fixture is already on the calendar, so the cycle labels itself. Pick the theme and the day types you want to challenge.

Step 2

Build the blocks

Activation through game, with minutes and intensity on each. The load curve draws itself from what you typed.

Step 3

Attach drills and boards

Animated drills from your library, plus the board scene that shows the shape. Name the player goals a block is aimed at.

Step 4

Share it with the squad

One action puts it on the portal, in calendars and into RSVP, and tells you how many people it reaches before it goes.

Step 5

Run it from the phone

Clock, queue, fallbacks, attendance, notes. The screen stays awake and the session survives a dropped signal.

Step 6

Reflect, and let it land

Ratings build the drill's history, observations land on the players' files, carryovers meet you in next week's builder.

A library of real sessions, not template shells

Every plan in the public library is an actual session inside Teloframe, with real blocks and real animated drills attached to them.

40 published plans

Covering U8 through senior, 45 to 90 minutes, with 272 animated drills sitting inside them.

Copy takes the drills too

The session lands in your workspace as an editable draft and every drill in it is copied into your drill library, with the blocks re-pointed at your copies. A drill you already own by that name is reused rather than duplicated.

Or start from your own

Quick Session and the season wizard offer the same three starting points: blank, one of your own sessions, or a plan from the library. Pick one and it is copied and scheduled in a single step.

The two views coaches live in

The weekly planner on Monday. The live session on the pitch. Both reading from the same saved plan.

Weekly microcycle

Sessions, fixtures and off days on one grid, with the week's load and the squad's availability alongside.

Live delivery

Block clock, queue, fallback drills, attendance and quick capture, on a phone, with the screen kept awake.

What you actually save every week

Three outcomes that matter more than any single feature.

Sunday night gets shorter

Copy the week forward, or generate the whole season from repeating slots, and spend the time only on the sessions that are actually different.

Staff read one plan

Assistants, goalkeeper coach and physio see the same session, assigned to the blocks they are running, instead of three printouts at three different versions.

The season leaves a record

Every session, every reflection and every observation is searchable afterwards, which is what turns a year of training into something you can review.

What it does not do

Worth knowing before you switch, so nothing here is a surprise in week three.

No GPS or heart-rate integration

Load here is planning intent plus what players reported. There is no wearable sync and Teloframe does not claim to measure external load.

No AI session generation

Nothing writes a session, rates a drill or scores a player. AI is used elsewhere in Teloframe, on review prep and match debriefs, where it summarises what a coach already logged.

No video analysis

You can attach a demo video link to a block, and drills carry their own animation. There is no clip tagging and no computer vision.

Sessions move by editing the date

There is no drag-and-drop between days on the planner. You open the session, change the date, and the squad is told if it was already shared.

Go deeper into the planner workflow

This page is the overview. The feature pages show the workflow in real coaching detail.

Training sessions, feature by feature

Every field on a block, how load is calculated, what live mode captures, and what the reflection does with it afterwards.

Where the session evidence lands

Individual development plans, goals that carry dated evidence, and reviews written from the record rather than from memory.

Football session plans

Read a finished session end to end, then copy it and its drills into your own planner.

Planning as a staff

A shared club workspace, a club session library with approvals, and an activity log across everything the coaches touch.

Session planner FAQs

The questions coaches ask before moving their weekly plan into Teloframe.

What does a session actually look like in here?

A session holds blocks, and each block holds drill placements. A block carries its type (activation, technical, tactical, game, recovery or custom), target minutes, an objective, an intensity, principles and learning outcomes, coach notes and player notes kept separate, an optional demo video, an optional tactics board scene and a written fallback plan. Each drill inside carries its own planned duration, its own notes, which players are doing it, and alternatives tagged by what might go wrong.

Can I import session plans I already have in Word or Excel?

There is no document importer. In practice coaches start from a plan in the public library, or from one of their own sessions, and rewrite the blocks in place, which is faster than retyping an old plan end to end. Fixtures are a different story: those import from pasted text, a CSV with your own column names, or an ICS file.

How does the planner know it is MD-3?

Because your fixtures live on the same calendar as your sessions. Every training day is labelled by its distance from the nearest match, from MD-6 through MD to MD+6, and you can override any day where you disagree with the arithmetic.

How do multiple coaches stay in sync on the same week?

On the Club plan every coach works inside the same club workspace and opens the same sessions, with edits recorded in the club activity log. A coach can also submit a session to the club library for approval, and approved sessions can be copied by the rest of the staff into their own weeks.

Does live mode work without a stable pitch-side connection?

The clock is anchored on the server rather than counted up in the browser, so a locked phone, a reload or a dropped connection resumes at the true elapsed time. Updates you make while offline queue in local storage with a retry, and drain when the signal comes back.

Can I print a session for staff who prefer paper?

Yes, in two versions. The coach packet carries the field and setup logistics, the equipment list and every block with its drills, setup instructions, coaching points and delivery notes. The player packet is the same session with the coach-only material stripped out. Both print or download as PDF, and there is a week packet that does the same for a whole week.

Is there AI that writes the session for me?

No. Nothing in the planner generates a session, rates a drill, scores a player or fills in a reflection. The only AI near this workflow parses a pasted fixture list into rows you review before committing. Every coaching judgement on the record was made by a coach.

What do I get on the free plan?

The whole session builder, drill linkage, live delivery and the reflection, at a volume that suits one team: three new sessions a month, one live session a month, one team of up to fifteen players and ten drills. Pro removes those limits and adds repeating sessions, the season wizard, fixture import, reminders and the family portal.
