— Training — drills & session plans

Training planning with a drill library

Plan your football training in bolzn: build sessions minute by minute from drills, use ready-made drills from the bolzn library and give your team tasks for the preparation – all in the same app that holds your dates, team kitty and inventory.

Build training sessions

Plan minute by minute

In “Build sessions” you place your drills on a timeline. Every block shows its duration and bolzn does the maths: if minutes are left, you see straight away where another drill fits. That way you know before training whether your plan works in 90 minutes – and don't have to improvise on the pitch.

Groups in parallel

If you split the team, you plan blocks in parallel – for example a positional game for one group and a rondo for the other. You move drills between blocks by drag and drop.

Save your own sessions

You save successful sessions under “My sessions” and reuse them instead of starting from scratch every week. You add the finished plan straight to a training session.

The Drill library

Ready-made drills from the bolzn library

The bolzn library contains over 1,200 fully worked-out football drills and training games that you can take straight into your training plans – such as positional games, rondos or small-sided games on two full-size goals. Filters, tags like technique, fitness, duels, cognitive or youth and the search help you find the right one.

Every drill fully described

Every drill comes with a description of organisation and coaching points, the sketch on the Tactics board, a video if you like and the list of equipment needed. Number of players and duration are shown too, so you can see straight away whether the drill suits your squad and your schedule.

Share your own drills with the team

You create your own drills in your library and share them with your coaching team. You bookmark interesting drills. That way a collection grows every season that your whole coaching team can use – even when an assistant coach takes a session.

Task and preparation plans

Winter and summer pre-season

In the break between seasons your players should stay fit. With preparation plans you schedule runs, intervals or HIIT workouts over a set period, with a follow-along video if you like. That way every player knows exactly which session is due and by when.

Check progress at any time

Under “Who's done already?” you can see at any time which player has completed a task and who has yet to complete it. You can leave individual players a comment – to keep them motivated, for example. Reminders arrive by push notification.

Also for team tasks

Task plans also work for checklists and organisation, such as washing the kit or bringing cake for the home game.

Training planning on video

Three short tutorials show how to create and edit a training session, add drills to it and how tasks and preparation plans work.

You can find more guides in the Tutorials on the home page and on our YouTube channel.
