New Printing Updates: More Flexibility, Less Time Preparing

Preparing for practice and game day often means printing playbooks, call sheets, and wristband sheets. We know that getting everything formatted just right can take time, so we’ve updated the printing experience in FirstDown PlayBook to make it faster, more flexible, and easier to use.

These new printing enhancements give you more control over how your playbooks are organized while reducing repetitive work, so you can spend less time preparing and more time coaching.

Updated Printing Options: What’s New?

Print Multiple Wristband Sheets at Once

One of the biggest time-saving updates is the ability to print multiple wristband sheets in a single job.

Instead of printing one copy at a time or manually duplicating pages, simply choose how many copies you need before printing.

Benefits include:

• Faster game-day preparation
• Fewer steps to save you time
• Reduce paper waste
• Easy printing for your entire team

Create Custom Grid Layouts

Every coach has a different way of organizing their playbook, so the new custom grid option allows you to choose exactly how your plays are displayed. Just select the number of rows and columns on each page (up to 10 × 10).

Custom grids are helpful because they give you the flexibility to build layouts that fit your coaching style and printing needs.

Perfect for:

• Custom playbook layouts
• Team handouts
• Wristband sheets
• Call sheets
• Practice cards

Print a Clean List View

Need a simple, text-only version of your playbook?

You can now print your playbook in List View, in the same way as the layout found in the FirstDown PlayBook mobile app. Plays are organized with color-coded sections and indentation, in order to make them easy to read and navigate.

Best for:

• Staff meetings
• Play installation
• Quick-reference playbooks
• Saving paper when diagrams aren’t needed

1. Open the playbook you’d like to print.
2. Click the 3 dots and then select Print.
3. Choose the print layout that best fits your needs or customize your grid layout.
