Platform Features

Three Layers.
One Platform.
Every Coach.

Replace the spreadsheets, the PowerPoint playbooks, and the install schedule you keep in your head. CoachDek connects your playbook to your practice plan to your players — so every drill builds toward something and nothing gets lost between weeks.

Layer 01 \u2014 Plans

The Practice Plan
Is the
Product.

Every other coaching platform treats practice planning as a sidebar. CoachDek makes it the center \u2014 a connected hierarchy from season arc to individual drill, with every coach in their right role.

The plans layer runs from the full season arc down to the individual period. Coordinators build the structure, position coaches own their segments, the HC approves before anything reaches players.

Picture your actual Tuesday. Your OC built this week's plan in 12 minutes — the install concepts auto-populated from the season plan, last week's template carried over the period structure, and he just dragged in new drills for this week's Counter install. Coach Harris got a notification that her DB individual period is assigned. She opens it on her phone during lunch and adds press coverage drills. By 2pm, the plan is submitted to you. You approve it before 6th period. Done.

📅

Season & Week Planning

Build your full preseason arc week by week — fundamentals through full installs. Switch to in-season mode and your templates, defaults, and install focus shift automatically.

Preseason + In-Season
🗂

Period Delegation

Coordinators assign individual periods to position coaches. Each coach sees exactly their periods and nothing they don’t own. Delegation is visible and trackable.

Multi-Coach Workflow

Approval Workflow

Draft → Submitted → Approved → Published. The HC approves before players see anything. Position coaches can’t publish. The hierarchy is enforced, not assumed.

HC Oversight
📋

Post-Practice Check-Off

Position coaches check off completed drills on the field. Notes and timestamps are logged. The coordinator sees what got done and what got cut — after every practice.

Real-Time Tracking
📱

Player-Facing View

Once published, players see the practice schedule and their drills before they arrive. No more GroupMe updates about what’s happening at practice today.

Player Access

Print-Ready Plans

One tap to print the practice plan for sideline use. Clean, structured output — period by period, with coaching points included.

Sideline Ready
📱

Mobile Web — Practice Field Ready

CoachDek is built mobile-first. Plan from your phone at home, check off drills on the field, review skill gaps between periods. No app install required — it works in your browser.

Layer 02 \u2014 Plays

Every Drill
Knows Its
Purpose.

The drill library isn't a list. Every drill is connected to the play it installs, the concept it reinforces, and the position group it develops. Practice builds toward something \u2014 you can see exactly what.

The plays layer connects Formation \u2192 Concept \u2192 Play \u2192 Drill into a queryable hierarchy. Pull up any play and see every drill that installs it. Pull up any drill and see which plays it supports and which skill nodes it develops.

Playbook Import

Upload your Hudl export, PDF, or play card images. CoachDek’s AI extracts your formations, routes, and blocking schemes into structured data — rendered in our diagramming engine and ready to connect to your practice plans.

AI-Powered
📆

Season Install Plan

Drag concepts into weekly buckets to build your preseason arc and season progression. Every practice plan automatically knows what’s being installed, what needs review from prior weeks, and what’s coming next.

Season-Level Planning
🏈

Playbook Hierarchy

Formation → Concept → Play. Organize your entire offense or defense in a connected tree. Every level has descriptions and coaching points.

Structured + Visual
🔗

Drill Library

Build a team drill library tagged by play, concept, and position group. Pull from CoachDek defaults or create your own. Every drill has setup, coaching points, and player instructions.

Searchable + Taggable
📈

Install Tracking

Mark plays as installed as your preseason progresses. See at a glance what’s been taught, what’s in progress, and what hasn’t been touched yet.

Preseason Progress
🎓

Install Progression Arc

Preseason moves through Fundamentals → Concepts → Full Plays → Reps. CoachDek structures that arc so no step gets skipped or assumed.

Curriculum Structure
📤

Share Drills with Players

Position coaches share drill setups and coaching points directly with their players. Players know what to expect and can review before practice.

Player Prep

Built-In Scheme Content

CoachDek ships with default drill libraries for 4-2-5 and spread 11-personnel at launch. Real content, reviewed by coaching staff — not placeholder data.

Layer 03 \u2014 Skills

Know Where
Every Player
Actually Is.

Position coaches rate every player on every skill node in their group. CoachDek tracks progress over the season and flags when your practice plan isn't addressing the gaps it should be.

The skill progression tree is CoachDek's core differentiator. It's the intelligence layer that connects player development to practice content \u2014 something no competing tool has built for high school and youth programs.

🌲

Skill Progression Trees

Built-in skill trees for every position group and scheme. Start from CoachDek’s varsity templates and customize — add nodes, hide what’s irrelevant, reorder to match your teaching sequence.

Templates Included

Player Ratings (1–5)

Position coaches rate players on every skill node. Ratings are timestamped — track progress week over week, preseason through playoffs. Multiple ratings per node build a development timeline.

Progress Over Time
⚠️

Skill Gap Surfacing

“Your DBs are rated 2/5 in press coverage. No press coverage drills are scheduled this week.” CoachDek flags the gap between your players’ development needs and your practice content.

Planning Intelligence
🏆

Depth Chart Integration

Position coaches submit depth charts with rationale drawn from skill ratings. The HC reviews and approves. Lineup decisions are documented and defensible.

HC Approval
🎯

Drill-to-Skill Tagging

Every drill in the library is tagged to the skill nodes it develops. Schedule a press coverage drill and CoachDek knows it’s addressing the press gap — no manual tracking required.

Automatic Linking
📊

Scheme Templates at Launch

CoachDek ships with complete skill trees for 4-2-5 and spread 11-personnel at varsity level — reviewed by real coaching staff, not AI-generated placeholders.

Features by Role

Built for
Every Coach
on Your Staff.

CoachDek gives each role exactly what they need \u2014 no more, no less. The HC gets oversight without doing coordinator work. The position coach gets their periods without navigating the full platform.
