Football PlayBook Player Sizes By Age
There are as many different ways to draw football plays and football playbooks as there are coaches out there. Here at FirstDown PlayBook, we get that. It’s why we draw youth football plays and high school football plays differently. I am referring specifically about the player size on the football play drawings.
It is an interesting conundrum when you start drawing football plays. The player’s size on drawings immediately becomes an issue.
If your player’s size is correct it is hard for anyone to see them. If the player’s size on drawings are made bigger the splits and other field proportions are off. It’s true for flag football plays and tackle football plays alike.
When you dig into FirstDown PlayBook for the first time you notice something almost immediately. There are different player sizes on drawings when you navigate between the different sections. It’s very intentional.
From day one here at FirstDown PlayBook we have made it our goal to serve all coaching communities. That means that every day we are focused on our NFL coaches and our flag football coaches working with six year olds.
These Drawings Show The Football PlayBook Player Sizes By Age
When you start looking at these two ends of the spectrum, and everyone in between, it’s a big diverse group. That is why we give you the chalk last to choose the football plays you like and also edit those plays.
Personally, we think that the younger players need football play diagrams with big bold players and color. You see the difference in the youth football play above and the high school football play below. Anyone who has tried to capture the attention of a fidgety eight year old understands. That’s why we really focus on drawing youth football plays and flag football plays with big eye catching players.
When it comes to our older players we think the scale of the field is important. Receivers must run routes at 12 yards and not eleven. Splits are important. This is why our Varsity football plays, defenses and special teams schemes are drawn to scale. This Gun Wing T playbook drawing demonstrates how we do that. Curious? Watch this video to learn more.
