Every practice is a chance to help a young person feel seen, valued, and capable.
IMPACT helps coaches use sport to develop athletic ability, confidence, character, and the mindset to meet challenges. It gives everyday moments a purpose: welcoming a teammate, owning a mistake, finding courage, and learning to care for others.
Those actions matter on the court, on the field, and in the lives young people lead beyond the game.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
READY FOR
YOUR TEAM.
A practical approach for coaches who care about the player and the person.
Who is IMPACT for?
IMPACT supports youth coaches working to develop athletic skills, confidence, character, and connection. The current curriculum includes basketball and soccer, with Foundation (6–8), Developing (9–11), Advancing (12–14), and Leading (15–18) guidance.
How does it fit into my practices?
Choose one focus and bring it into a familiar drill. Connect and teach at the start, play and notice during activities, then reflect and transfer at the close. Keep cues brief and adapt the pace. The app lets you choose and arrange activities to fit your available time.
What is included in the curriculum?
Ten flexible coaching focuses, the six IMPACT pillars, coach language, observable actions, sport examples, reflection questions, family connections, and access adjustments. Printable guides help you use the approach away from a screen.
How should I use the age bands?
Use them as starting points. Adapt to each athlete’s experience, communication, and support needs. Offer useful choices, processing time, accessible cues, and meaningful roles while keeping an appropriate skill challenge.
How does Game Day track playing time?
Choose your game format and available players, then generate and edit a rotation. The app keeps planned and recorded minutes separate: you confirm who played each interval. Split an interval at the actual substitution time when needed. This release uses coach-confirmed records, not an automatic game clock. Print a bench sheet, save games to your account, and reuse the roster next time.
Can Game Day follow our league’s format?
Set periods, period length, players on court or field, and shift length. Choose equal, minimum, or custom playing-time targets. Check your league’s substitution and participation rules before approving the plan. The planner flags impossible targets and remaining shortfalls; it does not automatically certify compliance with league rules.
