Practice Plans

Yorker can generate personalised practice plans for solo training, net sessions, or team drills — structured with warm-up, drills, progression, and cool-down.

Generating a plan

Open the coach chat and switch to Practice Plan mode. Parameter chips above the input let you set the focus area (batting, bowling, fielding, fitness, or all-round), session duration (30–90 minutes), and level (beginner to advanced) — then just ask. Your words always win over the chips, so be specific about:

• Duration — "Give me a 45-minute net session plan"
• Focus area — "I want to work on my front-foot driving"
• Skill level — This is automatically picked up from your profile
• Equipment available — "I only have a bat, a few balls, and a wall to throw against"

Every plan follows the coach's session model — activate, teach, drill, compete, recover — and each exercise comes with a measurable success target so you can self-assess.

What a plan includes

Each practice plan contains:

• Warm-up (5–10 min) — Cricket-specific exercises to prevent injury
• Drills — Step-by-step instructions with sets, reps, and rest periods
• Progression — How to make drills harder as you improve
• Cool-down (5 min) — Recovery stretches and exercises
• Time breakdown — How to split your available time across activities

Sample plan output

Here is what a typical plan looks like when you ask: "Give me a 45-minute batting session to improve playing spin":

Warm-up (8 min)

• 2 min light jog + arm circles
• 3 min shadow drives — 10 front-foot, 10 back-foot
• 3 min rapid-fire catching (soft ball) to sharpen reflexes

Drill 1: Sweep against spin (12 min)

• Partner feeds underarm off-spin from 15 metres
• Play front-foot sweep to leg side for 3 sets of 10 balls
• Focus: front knee down, head forward, roll the wrists

Drill 2: Using feet to the pitch (12 min)

• Throwdowns from 18 metres, slightly flighted
• Advance 1–2 steps and drive through mid-on/mid-off for 3 sets of 10
• Focus: initial trigger step, getting to the pitch of the ball

Drill 3: Back-foot punch off spin (8 min)

• Short-of-length throwdowns, play back and across
• 2 sets of 10 balls, target square on both sides

Cool-down (5 min)

• Hamstring and hip flexor stretches (30 sec each side)
• Shoulder and forearm stretches

Example prompts

• "Create a 1-hour batting session focusing on playing spin"
• "Design a bowling workout for a medium-fast bowler working on outswing"
• "Give me fielding drills I can do alone in my garden for 20 minutes"
• "Plan a full team net session for 15 players with 4 nets available"

Tip: Tell the AI about injuries or limitations — it will adjust the plan. For example, "I have a sore left shoulder, so avoid overhead throwing drills."

Saving and revisiting plans

Plans generated in chat are saved automatically to your Practice Plans page — the plan card shows a "Saved" badge with links to view your plans or log the session. On the Practice Plans page you can filter active and completed plans, mark a plan complete, link it to a training-log entry, or hit Continue in chat to adapt it with the coach as you progress.

Plan generations count toward your plan tier's monthly practice-plan allowance.
