Football Play Assignments Pain Can Be Your Gain


By FirstDown PlayBook on Apr 19, 2021

Here at FirstDown PlayBook we love drawing football plays. That may sound strange to some of you who would much rather be out on the field coaching, as opposed to drawing football plays. However, we hate typing the football play assignments. Let us explain.

We get that we save you a ton of time with our plays and coaching points.. That’s why we do what we do. So you can free up to coach ball and improve your players. Having said that, you know what we hate doing? We hate to type. But guess what? We do it for everyone of your FirstDown PlayBook plays anyway.

The football play assignments are just a necessary evil. Play drawings are great and most of us are visual. However, at the line of scrimmage you need rules and player assignments that will hold up against any defense, offense or special teams scheme your team will see.
