Season plans give you a bird's-eye view of your competitive calendar. Break your season into phases (pre-season, in-season, playoffs, off-season) with start and end dates, then see those phases overlaid on your calendar.
Creating a season plan
Go to Seasons > New Season Plan. Set the overall start and end dates, then add phases within that range.
Phases
Each phase represents a block of your season with a distinct training focus. Phases have:
- Name -- e.g., "Pre-Season Conditioning", "Competition Phase", "Recovery."
- Phase type -- Choose from Preparation, Strength, Power, Speed, Skill Development, Competition, Taper, Recovery, Transition, or Custom.
- Start and end dates -- must fall within the season's overall date range.
- Target intensity -- Low, Moderate, High, or Very High. Displayed as a visual indicator on the timeline.
- Sessions per week -- How many sessions you plan to run during this phase.
- Session duration -- Target length of each session in minutes.
- Goals -- Add specific objectives for the phase (e.g., "Improve first-touch accuracy", "Build aerobic base"). Goals appear on your dashboard and feed into AI coach recommendations.
- Focus areas -- Free-form skill tags describing the training emphasis (e.g., "Passing", "Defensive positioning", "Set pieces").
- Color -- Pick a color for the phase's calendar overlay and timeline visualization.
- Notes -- Optional free-text description of the training focus.
Phases appear as a color-coded overlay on your calendar, so you always know where you are in the season when scheduling sessions and events.
Anchor a phase to a fixture
When you're building a phase that needs to land on a specific match -- a Taper before a championship, a Competition phase around a cup run -- use the Anchor to fixture selector in the Phase Form. Pick an upcoming fixture from your calendar and a number of days, and the phase's end date snaps to match day with the start date back-calculated.
Default lengths when you anchor:
- Taper -- 7 days.
- Competition -- 14 days.
- Recovery / Transition -- 7 days.
- All other phase types -- 14 days.
You'll need fixtures on your calendar for this to be useful -- the fastest way to get them in is the ICS import. For the wider match-week picture (the MD-offset banner on session pages, AI Coach match-week awareness), see Match-Week Planning.
Current phase on your dashboard
When you mark a season plan as active, your dashboard highlights the current phase -- the one whose date range includes today. The dashboard card shows:
- Phase name and type
- Target intensity level
- Sessions per week and session duration
- Up to four goals with an overflow count for longer lists
- A progress ring showing how many days remain in the phase
- A mini timeline of all phases so you can see the full season at a glance
If the next phase starts within seven days, a reminder badge appears so you can prepare for the transition.
Phase limits by plan
The number of phases you can add depends on your plan:
| Plan | Max Phases |
|---|---|
| Free | 4 |
| Pro | 8 |
| Club | Unlimited |
Pro: Need more than 4 phases? Pro doubles the limit to 8 — enough for most periodized seasons. Club removes the cap entirely and adds athlete List assignments. Compare plans
Active season
You can mark one season plan as active. The active season's current phase appears on your dashboard, showing phase name, date range, and a progress indicator. Season plans auto-complete when their end date passes.
Season plan assignments
On the Club plan, you can assign season plans to athlete Lists, linking your periodization to specific cohorts. This is useful for coaching staffs managing multiple teams or age groups within the same organization.
Season plan limits
Free accounts can create one season plan. Pro and Club accounts can create unlimited season plans. See the Feature Comparison for the full breakdown.
