Open a built-in volleyball practice, watch its drills, print the schedule and run the practice timer.

## Open a built-in practice

1. Open **Playbook > Plans**.
2. Choose a built-in plan. Its blocks show the order, minutes and coaching notes.
3. Press **Play** on a drill block to watch it on the court, or **Print** for the practice sheet.

Reading and running a built-in plan does not need an account. If **Customize plan** is available, choose it to save an editable copy to your account.

The parent-and-player plan has timed blocks and a Play button for each drill.

## Run the timer

1. Press **Run practice** on the plan.
2. Use **Start**, **Pause** or **Resume** to control the clock. **Next** moves to the next block.
3. If you open a drill on the court, **Return to practice** brings the timer back.
4. Use **End practice** when you are finished.

The practice runner shows the current block, coaching notes and the clock.

## What the timer keeps

The timer runs in this tab. It does not save attendance, a match, a history of runs or your elapsed practice time to the account. A reload ends that run. Printed times are a schedule; take extra water breaks or shorten a block when needed.
