Playlists
This guide explains how playlists work in RugbyCodex and how to use them well.
What a playlist is for
A playlist turns reviewed clips into a focused teaching sequence.
Instead of asking players to hunt through a full match, you can give them a cleaner path through the moments that matter most.
What to add when creating a playlist
When you create a playlist, take the setup seriously because it shapes how useful the playlist will be later.
Type
Use the playlist type to signal what kind of teaching sequence this is.
That makes it easier for staff and players to understand the intent before they even open it.
Description
Use the description to explain:
- the coaching theme
- what the viewer should look for
- how the clips connect to each other
A good description gives the playlist a clear purpose instead of making it feel like a random set of moments.
Visibility: public or private
This is an important choice.
- Public playlists are for team members in your organization who should be able to view them.
- Private playlists are better for staff-only internal work inside your organization.
That makes playlists useful both for:
- player-facing teaching
- internal staff preparation
When playlists work best
Playlists are strongest when they have a clear reason to exist, such as:
- a unit review
- a player learning theme
- a set of repeated habits
- a before-and-after comparison
- a short prep sequence before training or selection
Good playlist habits
- keep the theme narrow
- write a useful description
- choose the right visibility from the start
- make sure the clips feel like one lesson, not a loose dump of footage
Playlists and the bigger teaching loop
Playlists are one of the clearest bridges between review and player learning.
They help you move from:
- reviewed clips
- to a curated sequence
- to a lesson that can actually be shared and revisited
