Can I animate more than one phase?
Yes. Plays can contain multiple phases so the animation can show how player positions and movement develop through a sequence.

Animate the movement between the magnets.
A static diagram shows where players stand. Rugby Playbook Studio helps coaches show how a play develops by turning saved phase positions and movement paths into an animated rugby sequence.

What it does
Show the sequence, not just the starting shape
Create multiple phases and move players between each picture.
Use rugby-specific path annotations to communicate runs, passes, kicks, rucks, and mauls.
Preview the phase sequence inside the same workspace used to design the play.
Export animated GIFs for presentations and coaching material.
Generate shareable player-view links so the sequence can be watched in a browser.
Keep the editable source inside a playbook so the animation can change as the coaching detail changes.
Workflow
From idea to animation
- 1
Draw phase one
Place the players and define the movement or ball paths that matter to the first decision.
- 2
Advance the play
Create the next phase, reposition the players, and continue the tactical sequence.
- 3
Play it back
Preview the movement, make coaching edits, then share or export the finished version.
Rugby-first
Animation as a communication tool
The animation is intended to make a coach’s idea easier to understand, not to simulate match outcomes. RPS leaves the tactical judgment with the coach while making timing, spacing, support, and movement easier to discuss.

Questions coaches ask
Frequently asked questions
Can I export the rugby animation?
RPS supports animated GIF export. Export limits and watermark behavior depend on the current plan.
Do players need to install an app to watch the play?
No. A shared player-view link opens in a web browser, so players can review the sequence without installing Rugby Playbook Studio.
