Elevate your coaching and team strategy with Rugby Animator — the ultimate tool for designing, animating and sharing rugby plays, drills and entire training sessions. Whether you're a grassroots coach or a player, bring your tactics to life with fluid, easy-to-understand animations and get your whole team on the same page.
Stop relying on static whiteboards and confusing diagrams. Give your team the visual edge they need to execute perfectly on match day and at the training ground.
Design & animate plays
• Build Custom Tactics: Intuitively design your strategies, from simple forward pods to complex backline moves.
• Fluid Animation: Watch your plays unfold in real time — demonstrate exact timing, running lines and passing channels.
• Coaching Notes: Add on-screen teaching points that appear at just the right moment.
• Preset Plays: Get a head start from a growing library of ready-made example moves.
Plan your training sessions
• Build a Session Block by Block: Lay out warm-ups, activities and your animated drills on one timed schedule that reflows automatically as you reorder it.
• Virtual Cones & Drills: Set out your drills and play each one right inside the session plan.
Share with your team
• Video Export: Export any play to high-quality video and share it via WhatsApp, email or social media.
• Share a Session as a Link: Send a whole training session to players, parents or staff who don't even have the app — every drill plays right on the page.
• Team Hubs: Share your plays and sessions with your fellow players and coaching staff, kept in sync on everyone's device.
Yours, everywhere
• iCloud Sync: Your playbook follows you automatically across your iPhone and iPad.
• iPhone or Browser: Build and view your plays on your phone or in any web browser.
Private by default
Your playbook is your secret weapon. Rugby Animator works fully offline with no account required, and your plays live on your device. iCloud sync and team sharing are entirely optional — and only the training sessions you choose to publish are ever sent to a server.
Free to start
Design plays and plan sessions for free, and join any Team Hub a teammate shares with you. Free version has three video exports per month. Go Pro to unlock unlimited plays, the full preset library, video export, session and web sharing, and creating your own Team Hubs.
