Coach's Office football playbook

The Playbook

The Coach’s Office football playbook software lets you produce a playbook by using real book features: multiple pages and chapters; table of contents; full word processing capabilities, with tables, fonts, text colors; and page templates. You can also create and print quarterback wristbands, as well as print the book to PDF for electronic distribution.

Don’t print your quarterback wristbands from a spreadsheet program! Coach’s Office makes creating wristbands a snap. You’ve already saved play and formation names in the chalkboard list. Drop them into a wristband table.

Modify the wristband templates to fit your QB wristband window or create your own. (Wristband tutorial)

Coaches Quotes: More effective teacher in the classroom and my linemen are smarter on the football field.

Coach’s Office has no equal. I was able to present the playbook, created in Coach’s Office, to my offensive line using the slideshow. I don’t even want to remember how I used to do things.
