Some people say that video has replaced the old-school playbook, and that there isn’t a lot of benefit to putting together a huge collection of every possible version of your scheme.
Still, no matter how you organize and teach your scheme, you need clear and concise instructions and teaching materials, and that’s what we’re talking about in today’s article.
This is taken directly from our newest release Football Coaches Charts & Templates: The Complete Collection.
Playbook and Scouting Report Templates
At the end of the day, coaching is teaching, and players perform best when they’re given clear instructions and have zero doubt about what their responsibilities are on any given play.
Building a clean and organized playbook starts with how the information is displayed on the page.
We’ve included some examples below of some great page templates from the collection that can be used on offense, defense, special teams playbooks and scouting reports.
An added bonus of building an organized playbook is that it allows you as a coach to collect and organize your own thoughts, and get a big-picture view of your entire scheme, as well as forcing you to re-think whatever coaching points may be unclear for your players.
All of these sheets are available in our collection of coaching templates this week.
