I am trying to put together my first playbook as I am one year in to my first head coaching job. Besides the obvious offensive plays and formations, what are other items I should have in it. I want to be as thorough as possible.

So far I have -

1. offensive philosophy
2. the huddle and the discipline in the huddle
3. Terminology
4. cadence
5. How we call our offensive plays
6. hole numbering system
7. formations
8. motions
9. Running game
10. Passing game

I have some examples of our pass protection schemes and blocking schemes.

That is a good list.

As a new staff at a new school we put together an extensive playbook this summer.
A lot of hard work, but rewarding.

I would maybe consider moving how to call plays after you discuss motions, formations, and hole numbers just so it runs together. Makes it flow you know?

Another thing to possibly add are basic run blocking schemes and pass pros to add as possibly either a part A of the run and pass game, or seperate.

Doing that stuff helped us make a giant playbook a lot more manageable. Made stuff easier to find.

That is just what I would consider. There are obviously other ways.

As for powerpoint, are you using playmaker and then putting in the pics in powerpoint? How are you doing that? I would be interested in learning how to turn our word document into something the kids can be more interactive with.

tog;

In MS Word you have the option of saving your files as HTML. By saving it like a webpage you can make it real interactive. You could have certain terms 'linked' and when the kids click on them it could take them to a diagram of a defensive front, glossary, blocking scheme for examples, or even a quicktime movie clip.

You could then burn the html files onto a CD and give each kid a CD to study... or you could put it on a school server.

The 'interactive' idea is exactly what HTML was designed for.

good luck

I will go play around with it. Thanks.

I meant I have seen that you can save it as an html, when you save as, yet didn't even put two and two together as something that could go with a playbook.

Let me know how it goes... I haven't tried it, but am excited to hear/see how it turns out!

I also have my playbook on MS word and would like to get it on powerpoint. I have a few other coaches powerpoint playbooks and really like the format and idea of giving the players a CD to go home with or use at any PC. Any other help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Coach:
You might want to add the following...

*Numbering Defensive Personnel / Gaps
*Shifts
*Audibles / Check with Me System
*Hurry Up Offense
*Teaching Progression
*Intallation Guidelines (We do this so every level will know what I expect to have taught throughout our system).

We do not pass out playbooks to our players. These are for our staff. (BUT, the powerpoint info on this topic sounds great!)
Hope this helps.
