PlayCards & PlayGrids = PlayBook
If you went into FirstDown PlayBook today (and you should have) you saw some new, very helpful things. Your PlayBook section has been improved and that is putting it mildly. You are about to become very familiar with the PlayCard & PlayGrid sections.
Let’s break it down because it is very simple. Your PlayBooks section now gets right to what coaches use a football playbook for. You now will have an option to create PlayCards or PlayGrids. If you are a current FirstDown PlayBook coach, don’t panic. We have done all of the work for you. We transferred all of your PlayBooks to the right areas. Let’s look at the two areas of PlayBooks.
PlayCards
There are times when a coach just wants a play/defense or special teams scheme on one page. That’s all he or she wants. This is what a PlayCard does for you. It’s not complicated. You might be printing scout team cards. Maybe you are getting ready for your flag football or 7on7 tournament. Regardless, you have a seamless way to get ready for your players.

Before anyone becomes dismissive about using this for your actual PlayBook, think about this. This is how the NFL and major college football teams teach these days. Why? There are so many reasons and everyone will eventually take this route. The digital teaching tools are not going away. However, if you want to print your football playbook we have that covered too. Let’s talk about PlayGrids.
PlayGrids
PlayGrids is our way of naming the traditional printable PlayBook. A one box or two box at the top of the page with you player assignments under it. Behind that you want a 4/6/8 box option to show the multiple looks you could see that week. After all, your opponent coaches too. There will be wrinkles.
