How it works
2. Blueprint AI builds it
You get a full running order: each activity with its minutes, intensity, setup and coaching points, and the minutes add up to the session length. If you leave out something important, like the age group or the length, it asks or uses a sensible default.
3. Edit it and take it to training
Change any line, or ask for the session harder or shorter. To save it to your calendar or send it to your players, create a free account.
What you get
- A timed running order where the activity minutes add up to your session length
- Setup, intensity and coaching points for every activity

- No account needed to try it

Questions coaches ask
- Is the rugby session planner free?
- Yes, it is free to try and you do not need an account to build a session. There is a daily limit for visitors, and a free account lets you keep building.
- What do I need to tell the planner?
- The age group, how long the session is and what you want to focus on. Player numbers and other detail help, and if you leave something out it fills the gap or asks.
- Can I change the session it builds?
- Yes. Every activity name, time, setup and coaching point can be edited, and you can ask for a harder or shorter version.
- Is an AI session plan safe for junior players?
- The planner is told to keep sessions safe for the age group and adds a reminder to check your union's age-grade rules in junior plans. You know your players, so check every session suits them before you use it.
- Can I send the session to my players?
- Yes, once you create a free account. Saving to your calendar and sending to players are part of the coach workspace.
