Coaching Animator lets you draw rugby drills and plays, animate movement frame by frame, and share them with your squad via a link. This guide walks you through all the main features.
Go to Create. Use the sidebar to add players, a ball, cones, or tackle equipment onto the pitch. Drag them into position. You can also draw arrows and lines to indicate movement or channels.
Click Add Frame in the timeline. Move your entities to their next positions. Repeat for as many steps as your drill requires. Hit Play to preview the animation.
Sign up or sign in (top right), then click Save to Cloud. Give your drill a title, add tags, and choose who can see it — Private, Link Only, or Public.
Once saved, use Share Animation in the toolbar to copy a link. The link opens a full-screen view that plays automatically — no account needed for the viewer.
In My Playbook, open a saved drill and choose Add Progression. This creates a linked follow-up (e.g., same drill with a defensive variation). Coaches can step through progressions live during a session.
