6/8/9/12 Man Football

6/8/9/12 Man Football

There are so many different ways to play the game of football. Over the past ten years FirstDown PlayBook has expanded our knowledge into new areas. 6  man football, 8 man football, 9 man football and 12 man football has been a large part of this. We group these together to make our 6/8/9/12 man football section.

With each of these slightly different versions of football comes nuances that make your preparation slightly different. While at the same time gap control is gap control and an option is an option.

Here at FirstDown PlayBook our goal has been to initially provide 6/8/9/12 man football coaches a base to work with. This way as we grow we can become more complex and provide a deeper menu of plays, defenses and special teams schemes.

The important thing to remember is that you can edit each and every play in FirstDown PlayBook. This means that you can always adapt a play to fit your needs from this vast library . The other thing to remember is that FirstDown PlayBook provides age based plays for 6/8/9/12 man football too.
