About HockeyReady
HockeyReady is an AI-powered planning toolkit for grassroots hockey coaches. It helps build age-appropriate training sessions with warm-ups, Skill Zone activities, game play and cool-downs, shaped for the players and format in front of you. Whether you're planning Quicksticks, In2Hockey or 11-a-side, the aim is a clear session you can review and make your own. Beyond individual sessions, HockeyReady helps coaches map out a season, organise their squad and follow each player's development. Plans can be edited and taken pitchside, giving coaches more time to coach and less time spent starting from a blank page.
It is made for busy volunteers: the parent-coach balancing work and family, the newly qualified coach finding their feet, and the experienced coach who wants consistent planning without the paperwork.
HockeyReady grew from the same practical idea behind RugbyReady: grassroots coaches deserve useful planning tools that respect the sport they coach. This is hockey in its own right, with hockey formats, language and activities, not rugby with the labels changed.
About Me
Grassroots rugby coach at Marlow RFC — U10s coach, Age Grade Officer and Director of Rugby for Minis. RugbyReady started when my son Henry pulled on an U6s shirt, and I've been coaching ever since. I built it for the job I do every week: getting kids safe, age-appropriate sessions without losing my Saturday to planning.
