The Practice Planner, new in Takedown 4.0, lets you plan a practice as timed sections and activities on the iPad and send it to your staff and wrestlers with one tap.
Build a plan
- Open a practice in My Team > Practice and tap Add Plan (or the plan's name, once it has one).
- Enter the Focus of the day.
- Tap Add Section and pick a section type (Warm-up, Drilling, Live Wrestling, Top / Bottom, Neutral, Conditioning, Cool-down) or create your own. Set its duration.
- Inside a section, tap Add activity and pick from the catalog or create a new one. Activities you create are saved to your team's list for next time; saving a template adds its new activities too. Edit the list in Settings > Practice > Activities. Each activity has minutes; the section and the plan total up.
- Drag activities to reorder them within a section. Tap Done Editing.

- Copy From Another Practice starts from a plan you've already run.
Attach video to an activity
Tap an activity, then Edit Link, and paste any web link: a YouTube technique video, a clip from your own channel. The link travels with the plan and opens with Open Video.
Share the plan
Tap Share for a PDF of the plan, or the Email button to send it to coaches and wrestlers by role. Wrestlers see the day's plan before they walk in.
