Different coaches, different practices
Give every team a reliable plan without asking every volunteer to become a curriculum designer.
Ankor for rec programs
Every coach gets a better practice. Every athlete gets a way to keep improving.
Ankor is the rec-program app that gets coaches, athletes, and parents started in less than two minutes—then gives coaches prebuilt, age-appropriate practices, athletes work to do at home, and families visibility into the plan.
One app. Less than two minutes to start. Open the practice, share the plan, and get on the same page.

The rec-program reality
The challenge is not effort. It is structure.
Most rec coaches care deeply. They just may not have played, coached, or had time to build a practice from scratch. Ankor gives the whole program a common starting point.
Too much time spent preparing
Start with a ready-to-run practice and divide the work into clear segments.
Not everyone knows the game
Short skill film and coach-friendly drill instructions provide a practical lacrosse crash course.
Families cannot see the plan
Show parents that practices are intentional, active, and connected to athlete development.
A simpler way to run the week
Build once. Share with every coach. Execute on the field.
Ankor turns your program’s practice priorities into something a volunteer coach can open, understand, and use immediately.
Choose the focus
Select the skill or theme your program wants every team working on.

Supporting the practice system
Know what young athletes are beginning to learn.
Programs can create age-appropriate scorecards using the vocabulary coaches already use. Evaluations help identify the next skill to emphasize without turning rec lacrosse into a complicated testing process.
