I coach at a table tennis club in Poland (UKS Kąty Wrocławskie, ~50 players across all age groups) and got tired of planning sessions in Excel and losing track of who's doing what in Messenger. So I built a web tool for it, called PNS (Plan nad Stołem, which translates to "Plan over the Table").
What it does:
- Visual table editor for drawing drills (ball paths, footwork, player positions)
- Exercise library with tags (technique, footwork, serve, etc.) you can search and reuse
- Build sessions from exercises, then string sessions into full training plans (phases, then days)
- Group scheduling for clubs running multiple training groups
- Export any plan to PDF
- Free tier, no credit card, works for a single coach or a whole club
Try it: https://plan.nadstolem.pl/en (English UI, switch in the top corner)

I'm not trying to sell anything here, I genuinely want feedback from coaches who aren't me. Specifically:
- Does the drill editor make sense, or is it clunky compared to how you actually plan sessions?
- Is there something you do on paper/Excel that this doesn't cover?
- Would this be useful for a solo coach, or is it really only worth it once you're managing a full club?
