Still unsure on how to get the most out of the CoachThem web app? Let's help you tick off the essentials...​

Plan Practice

Have a purpose for everything you do as a Coach. 
Don't use a drill to take up time. Think BIGGER!

What happened last game? What are your goals for the next game? What are your season goals? Either way, skill and skating development should be incorporated but, most of all, make it FUN! You can have fun while working hard!

Create Practice

Now that you have all your drills added to CoachThem, we can begin. 

In Plans, add your drills from your personal, team, association, marketplace or any shared folder by selecting + icon.

​

Pay attention to the flow of the practice, and reorder any drills using the drag icon.

​​

Create a note for a reminder or for something that you want to discuss with your players (RED). 
Make sure to tag your plan to make it easier to refer to later. (ORANGE)

All of your plans in your personal folder are private, just like in drills. They don't become shared until you Share them.

Share with Coaches

You've created that perfect practice; now what?

Get your coaches on the same page! Too often, coaches show up with drills written down on paper or napkins. You have a great practice plan; now, get your coaches prepared. Let's share it!

Load your plan and select the Share icon.

​​

Your options are to share with a Coach, Group, Association, or Team.

​​

Being a part of an association automatically creates a team for you. If not, you have to set up your team. A team that is created outside an association is called a group. To create a group, select the + on the drills page and in the drills right panel.

​​

Then, add your coaches. You can pay for all your coaches in your account, under subscriptions.

Run Practice

Now we're ready!

Have your coaches prepared for practice before they arrive at the rink. The discussion will be less about what the drills are and more about the detailed questions of where should the stick placement be.
Bringing your smartphones on the ice allows your coaches to be a step ahead. Your coaches prepare for the next drill as you're explaining it to the players; no more wasted time waiting for your drill to be set up after the explanation.

Considering how much you spend on ice per year, wouldn't you want your coaches to be efficient?
