Version history
2.10.1
2022-05-19
Updated SportsEngine Integration!
Recently SportsEngine has changed the way Big Time Coach applications integrate with their API. Going forward, your Website Administrator must create a new API with the re-direct link from Practice Planner. Then the administrator can share the key with league Practice Planner users, and they may set up their integration.
This is based on policy changes for API usage at SportsEngine.
This new version now has views that allow you to use the API information from SportsEngine (Website Settings -> API Client Apps), and set up integration with SportsEngine.
This can be done in two ways:
1) Select "More" from the navigation menu, then select "Extras", and finally "SportsEngine Integration"
2) Provide your SportsEngine administrator with the "Redirect URI" from the integration page
3) After your administrator has added the API entry, you may add the identity and secret keys to Practice Planner
Once those step are complete - you will be able to integrate directly with your SportsEngine website.

Updates for iOS 12 and More
This version supports iOS 12, and removes support for iOS 9. The minimum iOS version is now 10.0
Updated Timing and Notifications
To support iOS 12 we have made an adjustment to the Practice Timer functions:
- Change the timer text on practices. We've added a new larger timer label in the lower portion of the screen. This makes tracking time remaining better because we can display both total remaining time, and the time remaining for the current practice block.
- Update notifications to ensure both phone and apple watch will present notifications that you can respond to without opening the application on your phone.

Added CDC Concussion Protocol!
With more awareness of the impact concussions have on players, States and organizations like Little League International have begun rolling out Concussion Protocol programs. These new programs are based on the Center for Disease Control 's "Heads Up" campaign and include training, documentation, and processes.
Big Time Coach has made it easy for anyone documenting an Injury to add Concussion Protocol to their report. If players head is involved in an Injury - baseball to the face for example - simply choose "Concussion Protocol" from the First Aid Information view, and go through the questions.
Injury report will record the results, and include a Concussion Protocol document with your Injury Report pdf document.
We've even added a signature for the person performing the protocol and a date stamp so that Teams and Leagues can add these documents into their own processes!
iPhone X Updates:
With the iPhone X arriving, we've done a 2nd round of optimizations for the new screen format. If you're lucky enough to have an iPhone X, you'll find everything works very well.

Bug Fixes
We were notified of a crash (thank you for enabling crash reporting) on 10/10/2017 that would happen with certain combinations of filters (age + type) when viewing Drill Cards from the Drills listing.
We were able to identify the cause, and quickly make a change to ensure this does not continue.
We hope the crash did not inconvenience our coaches too much as it was restricted to certain combinations within the Drills listing.
Thanks for using Practice Planner to organize your practices!

2017-09-29
SportsEngine®
Per the suggestion of our partners at SportsEngine® we've modified the team selection interface to filter out teams that are no longer active. These teams or leagues are setup with either Disabled or Private status, and are filtered in the SportsEngine® App so we're going to follow along.
Of note: if you have a team downloaded previously, that team will still work fine. You just will not be able to see the teams who are not currently active.

2017-09-22
New Import/Export Method
After working with AirDrop, we found a better method of doing Import/Export for Practices and Drills. You'll simply choose practices or drills from the list, and Practice Planner will create a specialized file that the person who receives the file merely select it from email on their mobile device.
This eliminates the dependency on DropBox, and makes even greater sharing possible.
For example, if you are a league and want to share a set of practices - or drills - for a specific division, you may create an export and save the file to your League website. Then the person may simply navigate to the site, and install the practices or drills.
We hope leagues and other groups can take advantage of this new feature!
Navigation Consolidation
We're taking an opportunity to bring our new 'Action List' navigation features over from the iPad. These have been a hit as we can remove buttons and clutter in some views. The Team Detail view in particular has been cleaned up so that actions which are not take as often have been moved to the 'Actions' list.
Improved Apple Watch Notifications
Tighter integration with the Apple Watch to ensure delivery of practice timing notifications. If you have an Apple Watch, don't forget to enable notifications and installation in the Watch app on your iPhone.
Minor Updates and Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where users still on iOS 9 could not login to SportsEngine®.
Changed the Practice Summary view to display completion of blocks with status indicators. This helps reduce the clutter on this very often used view. There are other small changes all over the app working to make it easier to use.
iOS 11 and Watch OS 4 Ready
You may upgrade to iOS 11 and Watch OS 4 with the knowledge that Practice Planner will continue to function as it aways has!
Integration with the Apple Watch has been improved and updated to work with Watch OS 4.
First Pass iPhone X Support
Of course we do not have an iPhone X yet, but we can simulate it so we have done some updating to allow for the differences in the iPhone X curved screen. We'll refine it as phones be come available, but this first pass should help those lucky enough to get the first batch of iPhone X's.
iOS Version Support
Just a note - we will be dropping support for iOS 9 in early 2018. Please be sure your device is at least on iOS 10 or greater by the beginning of the year. If you have a critical need to stay on iOS 9, please contact us via the forum (forum.bigtimecoach.com)

AirDrop Practices
We've been asked for an easy way to share practices especially with coaches, assistants, anyone else helping with a practice, or even a parent wanting more information. If the person you wish to share a practice with has an iPhone 5 or newer you just need to touch a couple of buttons to AirDrop the Practice to them!
How it works: in the practice summary view you touch the sharing button and choose either:
- AirDrop to Friend
- AirDrop to Team Member
If you choose AirDrop to Team Member, the person you share with will receive all of the Practice information you've setup including player assignments to drills, schedule dates, completion status, and block duration, Drills, etc.
In addition, the person you share will will also receive your full Team information including Team Staff, and any contacts you may have added.
If you choose AirDrop to Friend, the Practice will be shared without any of the Scheduling or Team information so that the person receiving the Practice may assign it to their team, and use it as they wish.
In testing we've found that AirDrop is a great way to share the practice with coaches so that everyone is on the same page when running stations. We hope you like this great new feature!
AirDrop Teams
Similar to practices, if wish to share a team you have setup a team in Practice Player simply choose the AirDrop option after you have touched the Export/Update button in your Team Detail View. The person you sharing the team with will receive the full set of team information including Staff, Roster, and any contacts you have added.
Air Drop Drills
Ever want to quickly share a drill with another Practice Planner user? Now it's a simply a matter of touching the share button in the Drill Detail View. You'll share your drill within seconds!
SportsEngine® Updates
- We found that in some cases teams to select rosters from were not being filtered based on the most current season. This has been addressed to ensure you only see the current teams (active season and sub-season) from your SportsEngine® site.
DropBox Update
- Converted DropBox integration to API v2: This is a small impact, but all Big Time Coach folders will be moved to a common 'App' area in DropBox. This allows you to find and manage the import files in a more straightforward manner.
New Team Deletion and Practice Assignment Function
Many of our coaches re-use practices season over season. The challenge is we don't want to copy all of them over when we change teams. To the rescue comes the new team deletion and practice assignment function!
Now when you have a new team, you can choose to delete the old team and assign all of the practices from old team to new. This creates the baseline practice script that you may use as the baseline for the new team. All of the player records are cleared so the practice set is a blank canvas ready to adjust and re-use!
We also understand that creating practices is hard work so you'll also be able to save practices to a new team on-they-fly. Simple choose the assignment option when you delete at team, and then create the new team in the assignment view. The practices will be re-assigned and saved for later use.
Typically our coaches create a unique team to save practices to so that they have them at their disposal season over season.
Navigation and View Changes
After some comments from coaches we reviewed a few of the views and have updated navigation or functions for the following:
- Equipment Lists: These were difficult to read so we've changed them all to a better 'sheet' type view that slides over the main view.
- Contacts for Players: In the old position the contacts were difficult to read. These have been changed to the better 'sheet' type view as well.
- Drag / Drop Views: Comments were that it was unnatural to drag from right to left so we changed all of these views to drag from left to right for a more natural flow.

Now with SportsEngine® Integration!
This is another beta feature - but we wanted to get this out to all of our users for testing. If you encounter any problems or issues, please report them to the BTC Support team through our forum or email. Links to those are available under the 'More' tab, and the 'Extras' menu item.
Coaches have been asking for it, and we've now been able to add SportsEngine® integration into Practice Planner. If your league is using SportsEngine®, you'll now be able to create new teams from SportsEngine® and import all your players and team staff directly into the app.
This makes adding a team very fast and efficient. Once a team is linked to SportsEngine® you may update the team members or add new players or staff with a simple update.
We're really looking forward to our new functionality and integration with SportsEngine!
Other Updates - Bug Fixes
Another big update are the new Import/Update features for Practices, Drills/Activities, and new for this release Rosters!
Import/Export has gained greatly by leveraging the new technology we're using for the setup and update of base data as well as the change over to DropBox v2 API.
The newest feature is Roster Updates - you may now export csv file for your team, update the phone numbers and emails, and then import it back into Practice Planner. This will save you from typing in all of the information especially when you are using SportsEngine for creating your teams.
Also - one more thing... Because we're asking you to login to TeamSnap, SportsEngine, and other partners, we've integrated 1Password functionality into all the login screens! If you are a 1Password user - hopefully you are - Now you may use 1Password to fill in those pesky logins.
Much more to come of course - always working to improve our apps!

Bug Fixes and Maintenance
- With the continued issues for first time users, we've migrated the initial load tools to others that are more stable and will serve everyone better in the long term. This migration was in the works, but it was pulled forward to help everyone with a better experience.
- Added language to the network connection alert to indicate that users may need to enable cellular networking when importing teams from TeamSnap. Alert will give you the option of going directly into app settings to change the cellular data setting.
- Updated player addition interface for standard (non TeamSnap) teams.
- Other minor bug fixes and performance enhancements.

- Added language to the network connection alert to indicate that users may need to enable cellular networking when importing teams from TeamSnap. Alert will give you the option of going directly into app settings to change the cellular data setting.
- Other minor bug fixes and performance enhancements.

Updates and Bug Fixes
- Already received some fantastic feed back from coaches trying the TeamSnap integration, and using that feedback we've made it more obvious
when you have already selected a team from the TeamSnap list. We still give you a warning if you try to use it, but we've changed the text color and added some symbols to make it more apparent.
- Fixed a bug that would cause crashes on iOS 10 devices when loading updates.
- Other small bug fixes and changes for reliability and performance.

Now with TeamSnap Integration!
This is a beta feature - but we wanted to get this out to all of our users for testing. If you encounter any problems or issues, please report them to the BTC Support team through our forum or email. Links to those are available under the 'More' tab, and the 'Extras' menu item.
Coaches have been asking for it, and we've now been able to add TeamApp integration into Practice Planner. If you are a TeamSnap member, you'll now be able to create new teams using TeamSnap and import all your players and team staff directly into the app.
This makes adding a team very fast and efficient. Once a team is linked to TeamSnap you may update the team members or add new players or staff with a simple update.
We're really looking forward to our new functionality and integration with TeamSnap!

Ftcjeff,
Seems promising
It took me a while to figure out that it doesn’t work well with Dark Mode. Now that I’m back to light mode I can start giving it a spin. I was wondering why it was so hard to use, but it was because it was displaying white text on a white background.
Whereistheremote,
Hand application
I've been using this app since its first release. It helps me structure and pace a practice. There have been some practices I found myself putting in too many drills, or not the right ones.
The developers are very responsive to issues. And the app improves with each update. I will definitely continue to use it. Now if I could add basketball drills....

Excellent Practice Plan App with extras
I have been coaching little league, select ball, and babe ruth for many years. I have found that a decent practice plan is crucial to a successful practice. I have also found it highly annoying to keep track of little pieces of paper and/or index cards to keep myself organized. That all changed when i found Big Time Coach Practice Planner Baseball. This handy app lets me create easy practice plans using dozens of preloaded drills (each with step by step instructions) or my own custom ones. I can set timers for each drill block and keep my practices on schedule. Additionally, i can pre-assign players to specific drills if needed and can record their skill progression. I can also print or email a copy of the list for my assistant coaches or can share it with them if they also have the app. Best of all, this app is right on my phone that fits easily in my pocket and is always at hand.
Best of all, the service from the developers is first class. I emailed a couple questions and suggestions via the website and heard back with a personal email directly addressing my questions and asking for additional clarification in less than 24 hours. We engaged in a few emails and i not only had answers to my questions, i was connected with user forums to help find and provide feedback for further development of the app.
If you are a novice or experienced baseball coach and you are looking for an easy and effective way to organize and conduct your practices, this is the app for you. I feel that my investment was a great value.
