Goals for the session, one per line. Each line shows as a numbered goal. With Plan Details closed, the goals show as one line above the blocks.

A block is one part of a practice plan, such as a drill or a water break. The blocks, in order, make up the practice.

Each block has a name, a kind, minutes and notes. Some fields show only on some kinds.

Focus

Drill and Game blocks, stations included. What the block works on, such as Warmup or Build Confidence. Your organization sets the list on the Plan Focus page.

Drill Version

Library drills with two versions or more, stations included. The drill version the block copies. Select a version to copy its name, skills and equipment. The block keeps its own minutes, notes and coaches.

Rink

Drill and Game blocks, stations included. The empty rink the block prints when it has no picture.

Skills

Drill and Game blocks. The skills the block works. The season planner counts these skills.

Equipment

Drill and Game blocks, stations included. A Stations header adds up the equipment of its stations.

Choose the kind that fits each part of practice.

A Stations header claims the drill or game blocks directly below it. Each station is a block of its own, with every drill field.

Color

The header's color. Each of its stations shows the color in its head band. A new header takes a color no other header uses.

Rotation

The minutes every station runs. Each station shows the rotation as its minutes, such as 6 min rotation.

Stations

How many stations the header holds, from 1 to 12. Click the plus to add an empty station. A drill below the header never joins. Click the minus to let the last station go. The released block stays in the plan. An empty station goes.

Setup

Lists the stations by number. Click a name to open that station.

Gear

Adds up the equipment of every station. The stations are on the ice at the same time.

Numbering

A header and its stations count as one block. The stations number 1, 2, 3 inside the header.

Move a drill or a game between two stations to make it a station. Move a station out from under the header to make it a plain block. A header moves with its stations. Removing a header keeps its stations as plain blocks.
