Technical Requirements
All you need to know about the requirements to use the planet.training app
Do I have to install a software to use planet.training?
planet.training is a web based app, which only needs a working browser. It makes your user profile available from anywhere in the world.
Which browser is suitable for planet.training?
All major browsers are currently suitable for our web app. From past experiences we recommend Google Chrome to you, as it matches our requirements best. Please, always use the updated version of your browser.
Can I use the planet.training application on my phone?
planet.training is not only available as a web-app, but also for your tablet and smartphone. The planet.training soccer, field hockey, handball and volleyball app currently works for Android, Windows and iOS devices.
Is there a planet.training offline App?
reating drills and animating tactics does not always have to be done on a computer or with a stable internet connection. Every coach knows that the best ideas for soccer exercises and set plays come when you least expect them anyway and you usually neither have a pen nor wifi in sight. That's exactly why we brought our soccer drills & tactics creator into the app and play store.
Visibility of content
Here we explain, why you sometimes don't see the content you're looking for.
Can I collaborate with my assistant coaches in planet.training?
Yes, thanks to our unique club concept Co-Working in coaching teams is possible. Permissions can be assigned to each club member, so for example assistant coaches can work on session plans and exercises for the club database.
Can I share practice and gameday info with my club members & players ?
Yes, it's possible with a planet.training Club membership. You can add every member to your team management and assign individual permissions. That makes it possible, that practice and gameday info can be shared with assistant coaches, players as well as their parents.
Why do I see a lock icon for all menu items?
The lock icon is displayed if you do not have full access to the features. There can be two different reasons for this, depending on whether you are the admin of a club or have been invited by one.
The problem occurs as an admin:
Your subscription has ended and the feature you are trying to access is a premium feature. Find out more about our memberships and our pricing here.
The problem occurs as an invited club member:
In this case, the admin of your club did not give you the appropriate rights to use the respective feature. Please contact the admin of your club and ask him/her about the editing rights. Here you can find a tutorial on how your admin can give you the appropriate rights:
Can I be active in multiple clubs at the same time?
Yes, it is not a problem if you are active in several clubs at the same time, all of which use planet.training. With the club button (see picture below) you can easily switch between the planet.training versions of the respective clubs.
Important: Permissions to use features and premium memberships are only valid for the respective club. This means that you can only use the features within the club that have been assigned to you by the admin. If you have full access to Club A does not guarantee you to have full access to Club B if the admin has not assigned you the right permissions.
How can I see the training sessions of my team
If you are the admin of your club or have been given the appropriate editing rights by the admin, then you can reach your team's training sessions in two ways.
In the menu, click on the calendar (green arrow in picture):
Here you will see an overview of all of the team's eventsOpen the menu item "Training Ground" and click on "Sessions"
(blue arrow in picture).
Here you will see all training periods and sessions of your teams. Additionally, you can use the search button in the tab bar to filter your results.
You still don't see the respective training sessions?
In this case, you either have selected the wrong season (see next question) or the admin of your club did not give you the appropriate editing rights for the training sessions or the respective team. Please contact the admin of your club and ask him/her about adjusting the editing rights. Here you can find a tutorial on how your admin can give you the appropriate rights:
Why don't I see my created training sessions?
If you don't see sessions, there can be two reasons:
1. Your season filter is not set to the current season.
To fix this problem, simply click on the season filter at the top of the menu bar and select the current season (see image below). If that doesn't fix the problem, see the next point.
2. You do not have the appropriate editing rights to see training sessions.
In this case, the admin of your club did not give you the appropriate rights for the training sessions or the respective team. Please contact the admin of your club and ask him/her about the editing rights. Here you can find a tutorial on how your admin can give you the appropriate rights:
I've created a new team, but it doesn't appear in the app
If you don't see a new team, there could be two reasons.
1. Your season filter is not set to the current season.
To fix this problem, simply click on the season filter at the top of the menu bar and select the current season (see image below). If that doesn't fix the problem, see the next point.

Using the app as a team
Here we answer your questions about using the app within a club.
How do I invite members of my club to the app?
As the admin, you can add all members of your club. Here is a tutorial on how to do it:
How can I assign co-working permissions to my members?
As the admin of your club, you can assign editing rights for the various areas of the app to all club members . Here is a tutorial on how to do it:
With which user role can I automatically manage all areas in my club?
The administration of all areas is possible with the roles of "Club Director" and "Manager". As soon as a user is assigned this role, he / she can manage all areas and also add new members.
What user role do I need to add members to my club?
The administration of all areas is possible with the roles of "Club Director" and "Manager". As soon as a user is assigned this role, he / she can manage all areas and also add new members. With other roles, for example "coach", it is only possible to add players and teams, but not other club members.
Can I invited multiple players/members at once?
Yes, several players/ members can be invited all at once to the planet.training app.
1. Add multiple players
Players who have already been created via the team management, are visible in the menu item "Club Members" via "Club House". In order to invite several players, the check box in the user card can now be clicked (see blue arrow in the picture below). The check box can now be clicked for each of the players that are to be invited. Then click on "Invite user" in the tab bar and all players will be invited (see green arrow)
2. Create several new members
New members can easily be added to "Club Members" using the "New Member" button. Further members can then be added in the pop-up dialog (see blue arrow in the picture below). This makes it very easy to invite and add multiple members.
Does every user in the club automatically have a premium account?
Within the club account, every user has the rights that are assigned to him/her by the club's admin. These can vary from only viewing rights to access of all features (similar to those of a regular premium membership). Outside the club environment, for example when a member creates a new club in planet.training, the account is treated like a basic user. This means that a further premium membership must be purchased, in order for all to be accessible for this club as well.
Can I turn a member (Coach, Manager, etc.) into a player?
Yes, you can now add every member that you have created via the "club members" feature to a team as a players.
Go to "Club Members" via "Club House"

Now select the team from the list
