You Choose The Player’s Size On Drawings


By FirstDown PlayBook on Feb 21, 2021

It is an interesting conundrum when you start drawing football plays. The player’s size on drawings immediately becomes an issue. It is honestly a problem that has no correct answer.

If your player’s size is correct it is hard for anyone to see them. If the player’s siiz on drawings are made bigger the splits and other field proportions are off.

When you begin to dig into FirstDown PlayBook for the first time you notice something almost immediately. There are different player size 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.

The Player’s Size On Drawings Matters. Just Ask The Players.

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. Anyone who has tried to capture the attention of a fidgety eight year old understands.

When it comes to our older players we think the scale of the field is important. Recivers 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. Curious? Watch this video to learn more.
