Once you've built a session plan, Planner.coach gives you several ways to distribute it -- share a link, email it to athletes, or download a PDF for the clipboard.
Share a session via link
Click the Share icon on any session to generate a public link. Anyone with the link can view the full session plan -- phases, activities, diagrams, and coaching notes -- without needing an account.
Logged-in coaches who view a shared session can clone it into their own workspace as a starting point for their own planning.
You can revoke a share link at any time to remove public access.
Email a session summary
Send a formatted session summary directly to an athlete's inbox. This is useful for pre-practice preparation or post-session review.
- Open a session and click the Email icon.
- Select an athlete from the list. Only athletes with an email address and email opt-in enabled appear as recipients.
- Click Send. The athlete receives a branded email with:
- Session title, date, and total duration
- Session notes
- Each activity with its thumbnail, title, duration, and coaching notes
- A personalized greeting using the athlete's name and position
- Your coach signature and logo (if configured)
Email session summaries are available on Pro and Club plans. Free accounts see an upgrade prompt.
Email a progress report
From an athlete's profile, click Send Report to email a progress report. The report summarizes recent metric measurements, attendance trends, and any notes you've added -- ready for players, parents, or support staff.
Progress reports require Pro or Club and the athlete must have email opt-in enabled.
Email a training program
Assigned training programs can be sent to athletes by email. From the program detail page, select an assigned athlete and send them a summary of their workout schedule, exercises, and completion progress.
Download a session as PDF
Click Download PDF on any session to generate a print-ready document. The PDF includes:
- Session metadata (title, date, duration, number of activities)
- Session notes in a highlighted box
- All activities organized by phase, with:
- Canvas diagram thumbnails
- Setup instructions, execution steps, and coaching points
- Equipment summary
- Page numbers, the planner.coach web address, and automatic page breaks
Free plan PDFs carry the planner.coach logo in the header and a small "Created with planner.coach" credit in the footer. Pro and Club plans replace the logo with your own and drop the credit.
Tip: Print the PDF and bring it to practice so you can follow the plan without pulling out your phone. The layout is optimized for paper.
Download a single activity as PDF
Individual activities export the same way. Open any activity and click PDF in the top bar to download a one-drill sheet containing:
- The activity title, surface, category, difficulty, suggested duration, and player count
- The canvas diagram, printed large
- Equipment, skill focus, age groups, tags, and any video link
- The description, setup, instructions, and coaching points in full
Branding and logo work exactly as they do for sessions: Pro and Club plans get your own logo in the header and no "Created with planner.coach" credit.
Tip: Hand a single-activity sheet to an assistant coach running one station, instead of printing the whole session plan.
