Stations, rotations, and rest intervals

Use a drill station timer for sports practices, PE classes, skill stations, rotation blocks, rest periods, and coach-led circuits. Create an XTimer room when multiple stations or groups need one shared rotation timer.

Built for this job

Practice stations can rotate smoothly without repeated coach reminders.
