Building a training session

A session in SquadX is more than a list of drills. It has a title, a type, an objective, and a set of drills arranged in the order you will actually run them, with the timing worked out so the session fits the time you have on the court.

You build and keep sessions in the Session Library.

What a session is made of#

When you create or open a session you set:

• A title and a training type, so it is easy to find later.
• A training objective: what you want this session to achieve. One clear aim beats a vague one.
• The drills themselves, pulled from the Drill Library and put in order.

Blocks keep the session in shape#

A session is organised into blocks, not one long list: a warm-up, your main work, a game, a cool-down. Blocks hold the shape of a real training session, so what you plan at your desk runs cleanly on the floor.

The time budget#

This is where most session plans fall apart, and where SquadX helps most. As you add drills, the builder adds up their durations and shows you:

• Session time, the slot you have.
• Drills time, what your drills currently add up to.
• Spare time, what is left.

If your drills run over, you get a clear warning, so you can shorten or drop one at your desk instead of in the gym with ten minutes of work left and no time to run it. You can also let the session duration calculate itself from the drills.

Your own sessions and ours#

The library holds the sessions SquadX ships with and the ones you build yourself, side by side. Favourite the ones you come back to, so your go-to sessions are one tap away. Build once, reuse all season.

From a session to the floor#

A finished session drops into a phase in your plan and onto a day in your calendar. At training you open it on your phone and work through it block by block, with the video on each drill if you need it.
