Example training from the app
I built this app for coaches like me, the ones standing on the court at 6pm on a Tuesday.
It's called Playr✦
Playr✦is play first
At this age, every kid needs a ball. So everything in Playr✦ is a game: small teams, one new rule, straight into play.
Playr✦has the Arc
The Arc defines how much dribbling, passing, shooting and defending goes into each phase of your season. So every training session builds on the one before.
Playr✦brings every game to life
Every drill in the library plays out in 3D. Where the cones go, who has the ball, where everyone runs. You watch it before you even need to read the description.
Drag to look around
“Can we play a game now?”
Let them play.

Questions coaches ask
Who is it for?
Anyone coaching a U8, U10 or U12 team: volunteers, parents, club coaches. U8 and U10 have the richest library today, with U12 growing.
Do I need coaching experience?
You can start right away. Playr✦ helps you run fun, playful drills the kids will love.
How is this different from drills I find online?
A drill you find online might work for one evening. Playr✦ gives you drills for the whole season, and picks the right ones for your age group.
Why game-based drills?
Somewhere between the ages of 5 and 12, kids decide whether basketball is their sport. It's a coach's responsibility to make training fun and playful, so they fall in love with the game.
Can I change the training session?
Yes. Swap any drill for a similar one, drag them into a new order, or remove them. It's your training.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, on your phone, tablet or computer. Open app.playr.coach in your browser. No need to install anything.
Hi, I'm Balázs. I coach a U8 team in Switzerland, now in my fourth season. I design software, and Playr✦ is the tool I wish I'd had in my hands a few years ago.
I'm building it with passion, for coaches like me. Every bit of feedback helps shape where Playr✦ goes next, so feel free to get in touch.
