How to Build, Save, and Share a Full-Season Hockey Practice Plan Template Library in CoachThem

With the right hockey practice plan software like CoachThem, coaches can create a digital library of hockey practice plans that covers their full season. Whether you're starting from a hockey practice plan template, using ice hockey practice plan sheets, or building a complete ice hockey practice plan, this guide will show you how to build, save, and share everything in one place.

We’ll walk through how to organize your practice plans for hockey, reuse past plans, and create a repeatable practice plan hockey template you can use year after year.

 

Building a Season-Long Hockey Practice Plan Template Library

 

To get started, log in to CoachThem and head to the Practice Plans page (this is where all your practice planning happens).

 

Creating a new hockey practice plan is simple: use the Plan Menu at the top to give your plan a name (for example, “Week 1 Skating & Passing”) and set the practice date/time if you want. The plan menu also lets you save the plan and provides options to print or share it with others.

Next, add drills to your practice plan using the Drills Panel on the right. You can add drills you created from your Personal folder, or you can add directly from the Marketplace. As you add drills, you’ll see them listed in the Plan Schedule in the center of the screen, where you can drag to reorder drills or adjust the time for each drill. Once you’re happy with the practice plan, hit the save icon. Every practice plan you create will be stored in your personal CoachThem library for easy access later.

Tip: Many coaches like to outline their full season’s practice framework in advance. For example, planning out key themes or objectives for each week or month. CoachThem makes this easy because you can create multiple hockey practice plans ahead of time and organize them. In fact, with a library of saved drills and some organized templates, coaches can outline an entire season’s worth of practices surprisingly fast.

Many coaches start with a simple ice hockey practice plan template or a few structured ice hockey practice plan sheets, then build them out into a full-season system inside CoachThem.

By building your practice plans in CoachThem as you go (or all at once pre-season), you’re essentially creating a full-season practice library that you can reference and reuse year after year.

 

Organizing Your Hockey Practice Plans and Ice Hockey Practice Plan Sheets

 

Keeping your hockey practice plans organized is crucial, especially when you’re managing an entire season’s worth of content. CoachThem helps you do this with tags (categories) that function like folders in your practice plan library.

When you create or edit a practice plan, you can assign one or more category tags to it. For example, tags could be things like “Pre-Season,” “Power Play,” “Defense,” or even time-based tags like “October” or “Week 5.”

 

 

In the CoachThem interface, simply click the tag input field and either select an existing tag or type a new one to label your practice. Once you save the plan, it will automatically appear under that tag’s folder in your plans panel.

You can even assign multiple tags to a single practice plan, which is helpful if a session fits multiple categories. If you choose not to tag a plan, it will go into an “Untagged Plans” folder by default.

This makes it incredibly easy to navigate your season’s plans. You can filter by a specific category or time period with one click, or use the search bar to quickly find plans by keyword. By thoughtfully organizing your ice hockey practice plan sheets and templates, you create a system where any practice can be found in seconds.

 

 

Reusing Your Hockey Practice Plan Template (Build Once, Reuse Forever)

 

One huge advantage of building a full-season library is the ability to reuse your hockey practice plan template from year to year or use it as a foundation for new teams.

Coaches often ask: “Can I reuse last year’s practice plans in CoachThem?” The answer is yes. Your saved hockey practice plans remain in your personal library indefinitely, so you can pull them up at any time and repurpose them for the current season.

For example, if you created a great practice plan last season, you can simply open that plan, make any tweaks needed, and save it as a new version. This template workflow is a massive time-saver.

CoachThem allows you to build a structured practice plan hockey template for common sessions such as conditioning, skating, or special teams. Then, each time you need it, you simply duplicate, adjust, and go.

This flexibility means you don’t have to start from scratch each season. Instead, you build once and continuously improve your system over time.

 

Sharing Your Hockey Practice Plans with Coaches, Teams, and Associations

 

Another common question coaches ask is: “Can I share my hockey practice plans with others?” With CoachThem, the answer is yes.

You can share a single hockey practice plan, an entire folder of plans, or even your full library with other coaches. This is perfect for assistant coaches, team staff, or entire organizations.  The share button (circled in red) allows coaches to quickly share the practice plan to other coaches, teams, or even an association. As shown below, the process to share is straightforward, just click the share icon and choose the destination (individual coach, team, group, or association).
 

 

Sharing plans on CoachThem ensures that everyone is aligned and working from the same structure. Whether you're collaborating with a team or distributing a standardized development plan across an association, CoachThem makes it seamless.

 

Wrapping Up: Plan Your Season and Save Time

 

Whether you're creating a single hockey practice plan for the week or building a full library of hockey practice plans, having a structured system makes all the difference. Using a repeatable practice plan hockey template ensures consistency across your sessions while saving time throughout the season.

By leveraging CoachThem’s features to build, organize, and share your plans, you’ll create a full-season practice library that is easy to manage, reuse, and improve over time.

 

Access Your Hockey Practice Plans On the Go with the CoachThem iOS App

 

The CoachThem iOS app acts as a mini extension of the platform, giving you access to your full library of hockey practice plans wherever you are. Every plan you create and save can be viewed on the go, making it easy to reference your sessions right from your phone.

With a built-in calendar feature, you can also schedule your practices and stay organized throughout the season. It’s essentially your pocketbook of plans, always available when you need it.
