Two big ones this time. The Playbook gives your club a real play designer — draw moves on a pitch, animate them phase by phase, and build a shared library your whole coaching staff works from. And Lite charting is a new one-screen mode for charting a match from your phone when it's just you on the touchline.

Playbook

• Draw plays on a real pitch — The new Playbook tab opens a full play designer: drop attack and defence players on the field, drag out their running lines, and move the ball between them. One-tap formations (backline, attack shapes, defence line, scrum, lineout, kick-off) get you started fast.
• Animate them — Every play has a timeline. Set keyframes for where each player should be and when, then press play to watch the move unfold — with speed control, looping, and trails that show each player's path.
• Annotate like a whiteboard — Arrows, lines, zones, and labels can appear and disappear in time with the play, so "13 hits the gap" shows up exactly when 13 hits the gap.
• A club playbook and your own sketches — Plays live in two tiers: a shared club playbook every coach can edit, and private plays of your own. Players can sketch ideas too and submit them to the coaching staff.
• Share a play with anyone — Send a link and the play opens right in the browser — animated, view-only, no account needed.
• Built for your phone too — On a phone, the editor switches to a compact landscape layout so you can tweak a play from the clubhouse, not just your desk.

Lite Charting

• One screen, one thumb — Flip on Lite mode when you set up a game and you get a single-screen sideline view sized for a phone: score, clock, and big buttons for the moments that matter.
• Quick attribution — Tap an event and a bottom sheet slides up to credit the player — or skip it and keep watching the game.
• A recap worth posting — The shareable recap graphic now carries a match-stat strip alongside the score, and a Share button sits right on the page when the final whistle goes.
• Start lite, finish full — A completed Lite game opens later in the full charting editor, so you can enrich the bare-bones sideline record with detail from the film.

Improvements

• The play designer feels like home — The whole Playbook — library, editor, timeline, and shared views — now matches the app's look, down to the pitch itself.
• One front door — The Pricing page and this blog now share the main site's navigation, and if you're signed in you'll get an "Open App" button instead of login prompts.
• The public site tells the whole story — The landing page now shows off the Playbook and Season Planner with real screenshots, and mentions Lite phone charting — six chapters from first preseason checklist to full-time whistle.
