Overview and best practices for the 360Player training library

Find your way around the 360Player training library: the five content scopes, the three content types (Exercise, Session, Collection), how to search, and where to draw.

The training library is where your club stores, shares, and uses training content. Coaches build exercises and sessions, organize them in collections, and pull them into team calendar events. This article explains how the library is organized, what you can create in it, and where to go next.

What you can create

The library has three content types — accessible from the + button at the top right.

  • Exercise — a single drill. Add a name, duration, description, and an optional drawing or animation showing positions and movement.

  • Session — a sequence of blocks (warm-up, main work, cool-down) where each block can contain one or more exercises. Sessions can be attached to a team calendar event so players can review the plan before they arrive.

  • Collection — a folder that groups related exercises and sessions. Use collections to bundle a season's worth of content, a methodology, or an age-group curriculum.

How the library is organized

Content is split across five scopes — visible as tabs in the library.

  • Your — content you created yourself.

  • Team — content shared with the team you're currently viewing.

  • Club — content shared club-wide. Use this scope to standardize methodology across teams and age groups.

  • Community — collections shared by other clubs and the broader 360Player coaching community. A good place to find ideas outside your own club.

  • 360Player library — the official 360Player content library, available to every club.

When you create an exercise or session, you choose the scope and the audience. Anything you don't explicitly share with the team or the club stays under Your.

Finding content

Use the filters at the top of any scope to narrow content by category, duration, age group, and other attributes. Filters work the same way across scopes and inside sessions. See How to search for exercises in the training library for the search workflow.

The drawing tool

When creating an exercise, you can add a drawing — a pitch diagram with players, balls, cones, and movement arrows — to show how the drill is set up and how it progresses. The tool supports multi-step drawings where the system animates the transition between steps so players can see how positions change over time. See Use the 360Player drawing tool to create exercises.

Best practices

  • Build sessions around a clear theme — e.g. "U12 pressing", "finishing under pressure" — and structure the blocks to build toward it. A consistent theme makes the session easier for players to read and easier for assistant coaches to deliver.

  • Start from existing content. the Community and 360Player library scopes already cover most common training objectives. Duplicate something that fits, then adjust the duration, group size, or drawing to fit your team.

  • Standardize at the club scope, not per coach. Move the methodology you want every team to follow into Club collections. Coaches keep their own working drafts under Your.

  • Use drawings, not just descriptions. A diagram with players, runs, and a multi-step animation communicates an exercise faster than three paragraphs of text.

  • Attach the session to the calendar event. Players can review the plan before showing up — fewer questions at the start of training, more time on the pitch.
