Quick answer
Sportplan's Australian Football session planner lets you build a training session online from Sportplan's library of AFL drills, with diagrams, many with video, or from your own sketches. Add drills, then save, print or share the plan with coaches and players, and present it full-screen at training. Or ask Kit, Sportplan's coaching assistant, to plan it for you.
Every drill in the planner comes from Sportplan's library of Australian Football drills, with diagrams and, for many, video.
Yes. Sportplan's Australian Football library has drills with diagrams, many with video, that you can pull straight into the session planner, or add your own sketches alongside them.
Keep sessions simple: one skill at a time, a warm-up that uses the ball, then drills that build towards a small-sided game so the skill gets used under pressure.
Start with unopposed kicking for technique, then add a target or a moving partner, and finish with a kick-and-mark drill under some pressure so it transfers to a game.
Work on a quick release in pairs first, then a handball chain moving down a line, and finish with a small-sided game where handball is the only way to pass.
Build technique against a bag or a compliant partner before any live contact, focusing on a side-on wrap, and always follow your club's contact guidance for the age group.
