Playmaker by Pathways

Draw rugby plays.
Animate them.
Share them.

The standalone tactical animator from Pathways. Sketch movement, sequence phases, drop in kicks and set pieces, then share a link your staff and players can open without a login.

Built for the way coaches actually think.

Three primitives, used together, replace the whiteboard for most of what staff diagrams need to be.

Multi-phase movement

Players move on rails you draw. Bend them, branch them, sequence them across phases. Playback runs at broadcast cadence so the timing reads true.

Kicks and counter

Up-and-unders, grubbers, restarts. Click the kicker, pick the landing zone, set the chase. The receiving line lives in the same canvas as the carry.

Public share links

Publish a play to a private URL. Anyone you send it to opens it in a browser. No app, no signup, no friction for the people you coach.

Set pieces

Drop a scrum or lineout in one click.

15s scrum, 7s scrum, lineout views, custom formations. Pre-built so you skip the setup and stay in the move you actually want to talk about. Save your own and reuse them across the season.

Three ways coaches use it.

Not a list of features. A list of moments where reaching for Playmaker beats reaching for the whiteboard pen.

Match prep

Walk staff through tomorrow's setup.

Send the link Friday night. Captains read it on the train. Everyone shows up aligned Saturday.

In between trainings

A whiteboard that doesn't get wiped.

Sketch a phase between sessions. Tweak it in the morning. Reuse it next season without redrawing.

Squad shares

Drop a play in the captains group.

No app to install, no account to make. They open the link, they see the play, they understand the move.
