# Training Sessions

> How training sessions work in Framesports, including uploading practice footage, clipping it, and how it differs from match analysis.

A **session** is any footage you upload to Framesports. Sessions come in two types:

* **Match sessions**: competitive fixtures, trials, or any recorded match. These receive full data collection.
* **Training sessions**: practice runs, drills, or any recorded training activity.

This page covers training sessions specifically. For match analysis, see [Uploading & Analysis](/1.0/sessions/uploading-and-analysis).

## What you can do with a training session

Training footage lives alongside your matches in the **Sessions** tab. You can:

* **Upload** it from any of your connected [video sources](/1.0/sessions/video-sources), exactly like a match.
* **Watch** the full footage and **manually clip** any moment you want to review or share. See [Watching & Clipping](/1.0/sessions/watching-and-clipping).
* **Add clips to presentations** and share them with players and staff, just like match clips.

## What's different from a match session

Training sessions are **not** automatically analysed. Only match sessions receive full event labelling and the features that depend on it:

| Feature                                                       | Match session | Training session |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | ---------------- |
| Watch & manually clip                                         | ✓             | ✓                |
| Add to presentations & share                                  | ✓             | ✓                |
| Event labelling (tackles, carries, passes, tries, turnovers…) | ✓             | ✗                |
| Player & team statistics                                      | ✓             | ✗                |
| Automated post-match clips (WhatsApp/email)                   | ✓             | ✗                |
| Social media content                                          | ✓             | ✗                |
| Development plans & IDPs                                      | ✓             | ✗                |

In short: training sessions are for **review and sharing**, not for automated stats. If you need event-level data and player statistics, upload the footage as a match session and run analysis on it.

## Uploading a training session

1. Go to the **Sessions** tab and start a new session.
2. Connect or pick your [video source](/1.0/sessions/video-sources).
3. Choose the **training** upload type when prompted.

2. Click **Settings** for that session.
3. Scroll to the bottom and press **Archive**.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's the difference between a training session and a match session?">
    Both can be uploaded, stored, watched, and manually clipped. The difference is that only **match sessions** receive full analysis: event labelling, player and team statistics, automated post-match clips, social media content, and development plans. **Training sessions** are available for clipping, review, and sharing, but don't receive event-level data collection.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can you analyse training footage?">
    Not currently. You can upload training footage as a session and manually clip it to review and share specific moments, but training sessions don't receive automated event labelling or statistics. If you need that data, upload the footage as a match session instead.
