What is rugby session planning software?
Rugby session planning software helps coaches design, structure, and share training sessions more efficiently than manual methods. A good platform handles the repetitive work, timings, activity blocks, coaching cues, intensity levels, so the coach can focus on what matters: the players in front of them.
CoachCraft goes further than a basic planner. It generates complete session structures based on your focus skills and phase of season, pulls coaching cues automatically from a professional cue database, and lets you share the finished plan with your squad in one click.
How CoachCraft builds your rugby session plan
Set your focus skills and intensity
Choose from 12 skill areas, decision making, handling, tackling, set piece, and more. Select your weekly intensity level based on your phase of season.
CoachCraft generates the full session structure
The platform builds a complete, blocked session, warm-up, skill zones, setpiece block, game zone, cool-down, with timings, intensity tags, and coaching cues already in place.
Edit, approve, and share
Drag and drop to reorder blocks, adjust timings, or swap activities. When you're happy, send it to your squad in one click, by email, PDF export, or directly through the platform.
What's included in every session plan
Timed activity blocks
Every session is structured with start times, durations, and transitions, so you always know where you should be on the pitch and when.
Coaching cues per activity
Each block pulls relevant cues from the CoachCraft cue database, Fundamental, Intermediate, or Advanced, matched to your focus skill and squad level.
Intensity labels
Activities are tagged LOW, MED, or HIGH intensity, giving you a clear load overview across the session and the week.
In-season and off-season templates
Session structure adapts to your phase of season, in-season sessions are sharper and more game-specific; pre-season sessions build base fitness and skills volume.
One-click email to squad
Send the full session plan to your players and staff with a single click, no copying, no formatting, no extra apps needed.
PDF export
Export any session as a PDF for printing, sharing on WhatsApp, or archiving for future reference and review.
Who uses CoachCraft for rugby session planning?
CoachCraft is used by rugby coaches at every level, from Saturday morning grassroots coaches who need to plan a session in fifteen minutes, to professional club coaches managing weekly periodisation across multiple squads.
- Club coaches: build and share sessions without spreadsheets or handwritten notes
- School and academy coaches: structure age-appropriate sessions with the right cues for developing players
- Club coaching staff: share live session plans across forwards, backs, and skills coaches from one workspace
- Head coaches and Directors of Rugby: maintain oversight of all sessions across multiple squads in one platform
Post-session review
After each session, CoachCraft prompts you to log a post-session RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) review. This helps you track player load over time, compare planned vs. actual intensity, and inform how you structure the next session in the training cycle.
