Passing Game

Passing Game

The passing game is one of FirstDown PlayBooks cornerstone areas. It is actually where we started when we founded the company. Why? It is probably the most vast and diverse area in our game. The passing game is one of the most complicated areas who it comes to game planning.

FirstDown PlayBook understands that being an offensive coordinator can be a lonely job on Sunday nights when it’s time to begin putting together the game plan. This is why we have set FirstDown PlayBook in a way that makes it very easy to find ideas as you game plan by yourself.

You can look at what you are currently doing and find ideas that are similar. The Coaches Community website will keep you updated on anything we have installed in the passing game. What makes it easy is you just go to the passing game category and it’s all detailed out for you.

Don’t fall asleep on the help FirstDown PlayBook offers a 7on7 coach either. When you use this resource you have an NFL coach (or 30) on your staff.
