Your playbook,
in your pocket.
Design, animate and share rugby plays in minutes. Drag players across a real pitch, add keyframes and watch the move run. Made for coaches, and for the players who have to learn the move.
A full animation studio, sized for the sideline.
Drag a player and drop a keyframe. Rugby Animator fills in the movement between keyframes as a smooth run, with trails showing where each player went.
Full pitch, single half, the 22, and the 15m lineout channel for set-piece detail. There is also a blank canvas with no markings for training routines. Regulation lines and goalposts always sit exactly where they should.
Scrub the playhead to review the move frame by frame. Tap any dot to jump to that keyframe, or drag it to change the timing.
Save every move to a searchable library and tag it by phase, such as #Lineout #Scrum #Defense. Then pull it up on the touchline in a tap.
The web app brings the same editor to your laptop or desktop, 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 and finish it on the web, or the other way round.
Launch web app →Twenty ready-made moves are built in, from lineouts to backline strikes, and every one can be adapted. 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 from warm-ups and activities, with animated plays pulled straight from your library and the schedule length always visible. Building sessions is free. Publish a session as a web link so players and parents can view it without the app or a sign-in. 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 is red, away is blue and the ball is amber, so positions read at a glance.
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, or share it with your coaching staff through a Team Hub. You can also publish a whole session online for the squad. Available with Pro.
The full editor,
on any screen.
Rugby Animator on the web is built for the plays that need more room, such as complex set pieces and multi-phase moves you want to diagram properly before training. It runs in your browser with nothing to download.
