### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-03-04, version 2.8.2*

Crashes every time I try to import my team from sportsengine. Can’t use it

### 3/5 — Seems promising

*2020-01-05, version 2.8.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Excellent Practice Plan App with extras

*2015-03-20, version 1.3.2*

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.

### 4/5 — Hand application

*2014-10-25, version 1.2.4*

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....

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 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.
