Playmaker by Pathways
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.
No signup for the demo. Cancel anytime on Pro.
Three primitives, used together, replace the whiteboard for most of what staff diagrams need to be.
Players move on rails you draw. Bend them, branch them, sequence them across phases. Playback runs at broadcast cadence so the timing reads true.
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.
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
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.
Not a list of features. A list of moments where reaching for Playmaker beats reaching for the whiteboard pen.
Match prep
Send the link Friday night. Captains read it on the train. Everyone shows up aligned Saturday.
In between trainings
Sketch a phase between sessions. Tweak it in the morning. Reuse it next season without redrawing.
Squad shares
No app to install, no account to make. They open the link, they see the play, they understand the move.
Playmaker Pro
Unlimited plays. Kicks, set pieces, formations, public share links. MP4 exports for video review. Standalone, no roster needed.
