Print Tutorial

To print out the coaching resources, you must hold a current subscription and be logged in to the site.

Browse to the drill/resource you would like to print and click on the small view of the resource/drill located at the top tight hand corner of the page.

When the resource/drill opens in full screen there are some simple controls that appear at the very top of the screen when you move your mouse.

The printing icon is second from the right (next to the 'X').

At this time you are only able to print one page/spread at a time, however as most resources are an average of 5 pages, this should not cause too many problems.

Some of our users have experienced some confusion when purchasing a subscription via the store.
