Why we made it
Most parent complaints at the youth level come from a perceived lack of structure or fairness. A written practice plan, shared with parents 24 hours before the practice, disarms 80% of those.
Most coaches don't share a plan because writing one feels like extra work. It isn't. It takes 10 minutes a week and saves 10 phone calls.
