Build, animate and coach
Build the shape fast
Set your lineup on a rugby pitch with clear player markers, then adjust positions exactly how you want. You can quickly shape your starting structure before adding detail.
Animate the play
Add timed movement paths so each player's run appears in sequence, not just as a static diagram. This makes the pattern easier to understand before you go out on the field.
Show ball flow clearly
Assign ball possession across the timeline to show pass timing and decision points. Everyone can see where the ball should be at each moment of the move.
Start from proven templates
Kick off with practical starting points: Standard backs, Touch setup, or a blank pitch when you want full control.
Coach in club or personal mode
Club mode: save moves as club-visible public patterns or keep private drafts while refining. Personal mode: private-only sandbox for your own prep and analysis.
Train with practical tools
Use playback controls, timeline scrubbing, defensive line overlays and quick tactical actions to pressure-test ideas before training day.
How it works in 3 steps
1) Layout — Place starting positions and shape your structure.
2) Motion — Draw movement lines and set timing for each runner.
3) Ball — Assign possession at key moments to map the pass chain.
Result: one clear, playable move your players can understand quickly.
Collaboration and trust
Built for real club workflows: authenticated access, author-owned edits and deletes, club-member visibility controls for shared moves, and private drafts while details are still being refined.
Use cases
Pre-training install: introduce a new pattern before the session starts.
Match prep: align shape and roles for specific opposition scenarios.
Post-match review: replay planned versus actual movement concepts.
Personal analysis: experiment privately before sharing with your team.
FAQ

Is this only for coaches?
No. Coaches, captains and players can all use Rugby Moves to plan and understand patterns.
Do I need to start from scratch every time?
No. Use templates for fast setup, or choose a blank pitch for full control.
