For sport athletes
Drills for your sport, dosed for your body.
Basketball, soccer, hockey, rugby, and 10 more. Versus picks the skill work, budgets it against the games you already play, runs it in six-week blocks with a test at the end, and pulls it the moment an injury says no. Readiness, in-season load tracking and lifting periodised around your season come with it.
You came here because
Your sport is the training. Other apps ignore that.
- Strava is built for runners. Hevy is built for lifters. Neither maps a 90-minute basketball practice to weekly training load.
- You're in-season. Your lifting should periodise around games, not the other way around, and no lifting app does that.
- You want one number each morning that reflects the whole week, games included, instead of guessing from how your legs feel on the stairs.
- Your coach runs practice, if you have one. The hours you put in alone are nobody's job, and a drill you found online knows nothing about your knee, your Saturday game, or how much jumping you have already done this week.
Skill coaching
It programs your skill work. Only if you ask.
Versus used to refuse to program sport at all, on the grounds that your coach owns that work. It protected coached athletes and left everyone else with nothing: no plan for the empty gym, the wall, the driveway, the hour before practice. That refusal is now a choice you make per sport, and it stays off until you make it.
Turn it on and you get a week at a time. Two or three blocks, each a handful of drills with a coaching cue you read mid-drill and a criterion you either hit or miss that day. Blocks land in your weekly split and in the daily stack beside your lifts, so there is one plan rather than two competing for the same Tuesday.
You answer two questions, not one: whether you have a coach for this sport, and whether you want Versus programming your skill work. Yes to both gets you homework only. Solo drills, no session structure, around 60% of the volume, and your coached sessions counted against the same budget so the week still adds up.
Elite tier. The drill library, running any drill by hand, and skill tree credit for it are free.
The loop
What the first week actually looks like.
- Sunday. You say what you want in your own words. "I want a quicker first step and I keep getting bullied in the post." That maps to categories in your sport's tree, and your sentence is echoed at the top of the plan so you can see what it understood.
- Monday. Three blocks land in the week you already have, placed around the two practices and the Saturday game that were already in your calendar. Each block is a few drills, a cue, and a criterion you can pass or miss.
- Tuesday. Readiness comes back low. The block moves to your next open day instead of being marked missed, and the reason is on the card.
- Thursday. You tell Sensei the gym is shut and you have twenty minutes and a wall. It swaps the drills for ones that need neither, inside the same budget.
- Saturday. You play two hours of pickup that was not in the plan. It gets charged against the same jump and cut budgets as everything else.
- Sunday. Two taps: better, the same, or worse. Next week is built from what you actually completed, not from what was originally prescribed.
No promises about what six weeks of that does to your vertical. The app tracks whether you hit the criteria and shows you the trend. What it will not do is tell you a number it has not measured.
How it decides
Picking the drills is the easy part.
Three budgets, not one
Jump landings, hard cuts and sprint metres are tracked separately, because they injure you in different ways and a single "load" number hides which one is climbing. Each is built from your age, your mass, your lifting history, your recent load and how you have been recovering.
Your games are charged against it
A pickup game costs jumps and cuts whether or not a plan accounted for them. Sessions you log, and games already on your calendar, are priced into the budget, so a Saturday game shows up in Monday's plan rather than as soreness on Sunday.
Injuries remove drills
A sore ankle takes single-leg landings, depth jumps, change of direction and hard decelerations off the table, across every sport at once. The plan names the injury that did it and what would clear it, instead of quietly giving you less.
Readiness changes the block
On a rest-day score the block moves to your next open day rather than being marked missed. On a hard day the jumps, cuts and sprints come out and the rest is served at the bottom of its range. The program's own caution never reads as you failing.
Last week decides next week
Hit a drill's criterion twice and it gets harder: a shot clock, a second ball, a tighter target. Struggle and exactly one thing changes, never two, so you find out which one mattered instead of guessing.
It bends instead of nagging
Miss a week and next week is smaller, not louder. No streak on the program, no chain to break, nothing turning red, and no push notification for a block you never started. Miss enough and it asks whether you want to pause.
Drills count as training
A finished block writes a real session, so the hour lands in your load, your Balance ring, your calendar and your weekly summary. A coach that could not see its own output would keep spending a budget it had already spent.
Still not a tactics coach
No game plans, no play calls, nothing that needs eyes on your team. Ask for tactics and it says no, and it says no in the app rather than hoping the model behaves. That line does not move.
The longer arc
Six weeks, then an honest review.
- It runs in blocks, not an endless stream of drills. A block has one focus, so you spend long enough on a weakness to find out whether it actually moved. A focus that has not moved in three weeks gets dropped, and none outstays six.
- Field tests give it something measured. Rather than going on how the sessions felt, it periodically asks you to run a short test, so the next block is built on a number you produced on the day.
- The review is specific. At the end of a block you get which criteria you hit, how much of the plan you actually completed, and what changes next as a result. Not a score out of ten.
- Nothing here is a promise about outcomes. It tracks what you hit and shows the trend. It will not tell you a number it has not measured.
The library
1,445 drills. Yours without the AI.
Every drill was written by hand, not generated. Each one names the techniques it trains, the space and kit it needs, how many people it takes, one cue worth reading mid-drill, and a criterion with a number in it so you know on the day whether it went well.
You can browse the whole library and run any drill without turning the AI on, and the minutes credit your skill tree the same way a logged session does. That part costs nothing on any tier.
Rugby and American football are honest exceptions. Almost all of their skill work needs contact and a squad, so their drills cover handling, kicking, footwork and passing, and the app says so rather than dressing conditioning up as skill work.
The features that matter to you
Built for the season, not the workout.
Logger for your sport
Basketball, soccer, hockey, rugby, baseball, volleyball, tennis, cricket, lacrosse, American football, badminton, handball, and more. Fast sport selection, sRPE + duration in under 20 seconds.
Game results + score tracking
Log the result and the score, not just the minutes. Session controls run the game live, and session recovery means a phone that dies mid-match doesn't cost you the log.
Per-sport skill tree
18 sports in the logger, including swimming, golf, rowing and gymnastics. 14 of them have a full skill tree mapped to training elements. Tag what you drilled and the tree fills in from your logging alone: sprints, set pieces, court time. See where your work is concentrated and what you have not touched in weeks.
AI skill coaching (Elite)
A week of skill blocks chosen for your sport, your goal in your own words, and what your body can absorb, inside a six-week block with field tests and a review at the end. Opt in per sport, off until you turn it on, and narrowed to solo homework if you tell it you have a coach.
Drill library (free)
1,445 authored drills across 31 sports and martial arts, each with a cue and a pass-or-fail criterion. Browse and run any of them by hand without the AI, and the minutes credit your skill tree.
Peak for game day
Readiness model knows your game date and adjusts the week's recommendations. Two readiness scores under 60? Sensei flags it before you blow Saturday.
In-season load tracking
Practice, games and lifting count toward the same workload total, measured against your own in-season norm, and each system is tracked on its own so a sprint-heavy week reads differently from a week of court time. A training signal, not a diagnosis. Core tier.
Periodised lifting
Pre-season, in-season, post-season: three different lifting modes. Volume and intensity adjusted to where you are in the season, not where Strong thinks you are.
Behaviour tags
Tag what you did yesterday at check-in: the late meal, the short night, the walk after dinner. Over weeks Versus shows which ones line up with a better readiness score for you specifically. A correlation in your own data, not a claim about cause.
Apple Watch native
Start a session from the watch during practice. Live HR, session save when you reconnect. Works standalone if your phone's in the locker.
