It’s that time of the year again when somewhere, somehow coaches are working on throwing the football 7on7 workouts, sessions and competitions are getting cranked up. Some of you may not know this but 16 years ago FirstDown PlayBook started as a 7on7 football tool. It was a place where you could quickly find pass game route concepts.

Of course we have grown into much more than that now but that should not change the fact that FirstDown PlayBook is still the best 7on7 passing game tool available anywhere. We offer you thousands of editable passing plays that can be easily found by concept, formation and even coverages you are trying to beat.

Today, however: we want to talk about how to quickly find 7on7 route concepts. Route concepts and route combinations are a big key to throwing the ball with equal personnel. It doesn’t hurt to have good to great personnel either but you still have to know how to get them open.

The FirstDown PlayBook Route Trees Allow You To Find 7on7 Route Concepts Quickly.

The video below will show you how you can instantly find 2 and 3 man route combinations on FirstDown PlayBook. These route combinations are the core of your bigger picture passing game. It all starts with the FirstDown PlayBook route tree.

It’s a bit different from the route tree that you may be used to. Why? After 30 years, we realized that the players look at these old fashioned route trees like “What is that?” We have taken a different approach to teaching individual routes.

The route trees are broken up into individual positions and individual routes. Our thought is that this is a better way to teach, but we take it a step further. This is where the route concepts come into play. After you understand the route trees you can begin to search for the route combinations that fit your offense.

You Can Also Save Your Own Route Templates…

It’s pretty simple actually. You want to run a post corner? Just punch in 78 into the search function. You would expect to find a post corner combination route right? Wrong. You will find multiple 78 combinations all from different formations.
