Your playbook,
in your pocket.
Design, animate and share rugby plays in minutes. Drag players across a real pitch, set keyframes, and watch the move come to life — built for coaches, captains and players.
A full animation studio, sized for the sideline.
Drag a player, drop a keyframe, repeat. Rugby Animator interpolates the movement into a smooth, shareable run — trails and all.
Full pitch, single half, the 22 and the 15m lineout channel for set-piece detail — plus a clean no-markings canvas for training routines. Regulation lines, 22s and goalposts always sit exactly where they should.
Scrub the playhead to review the move frame by frame. Tap any dot to jump, drag to adjust timing — the scrubber is the heart of the animator.
Save every move to a searchable library, tag by phase — #Lineout #Scrum #Defense — and pull it up on the touchline in a tap.
The web app brings Rugby Animator to your laptop or desktop — the same editor, the same pitch, on a screen big enough to map out the most intricate moves. Sign in with your Apple ID and your whole playbook syncs automatically via iCloud. Start a play on your iPhone, refine it on the web, and it’s ready to share from either.
Launch web app →Twenty ready-made moves — lineouts, backline strikes, defensive shapes — built in and ready to adapt. A few are free to try; the rest unlock with Pro.
Invite your coaching staff to a shared library — every play you add stays in sync on their devices automatically. Joining and browsing a hub someone shares with you is free.
Build a timed training plan — warm-ups, activities, and animated plays pulled straight from your library — with the schedule length always visible. Building sessions is free. Publish a session as a web link so players, parents or staff can view it without the app — no sign-in needed — and the link updates whenever you refine the plan. Sharing a session online is a Pro feature.
Four taps to a finished play.
Choose your view and place players. Home in red, away in blue, ball in amber — positions read instantly.
Move players to the next position and add a keyframe. Rugby Animator fills in the run between them.
Hit play and watch the move run in real time. Scrub the timeline to check every line and angle.
Export the play as a video, invite your coaching staff to a shared Team Hub, or publish a whole session online — however your squad needs to see it. Available with Pro.
The full editor,
on any screen.
Rugby Animator on the web is built for the plays that need more room — complex set pieces, multi-phase moves, anything you want to diagram properly before you take it to training. It runs right in your browser, no download needed.
