OK, I know this topic has been asked, but I could not find specific info I need in my search.
For those of you who use wristbands, I am looking for a way to have my plays listed independently of my formations. Reason being that we are very multiple formation and motion wise.
Thanks

I should clarify--I have used this type of sheet, but in years past I have listed the formation, motion, special alignment all in one cell, which were numbered. However, we are multiple in our formations and motions (we are a Jet/Rocket Team). So, for our belly play, we could have 6 base formations, a formation tag or two, a motion tag or two--and we can run it either way. What I end up with is having to pick 3-4 ways to list it on my sheet because of lack of room.
I am looking for an easier way to have possibly only the play listed, and be able to easily communicate our motions and formations separately--or at least easier.

Call out formation and motion, then call play from wristband.
If you don't want to call out motion, use a combination system.
For example:
Colors=motions
numbers=plays
Green 4=Jet Sweep Rt............etc.
You can obviously disguise it, if you are worried about the defense picking up.
Calling out G-words for GREEN------Gator, Go, Gunner, Gomer, Gabel, etc.
And, use mulitple digit numbers for plays. Instead of just 4-----24, 364, 94, 204
So, GREEN 4 (Jet Sweep Right), can be:
Gator 94 Go 364 Gomer 204 Gunner 44
That should work, imo.

We list "wordy" plays on our QB's wristband (we huddle) and the rest we send in verbally.
On a given Fri night, we'll have 25-40 wordy plays (6-9 words) and we cut out all vowels to simplify and also use the "shrink" mode of the cell.
For instance
Solo X disco ricochet 823 Sail H Under
Sol x dsc rccht 823 Sail H undr
We can have up to 40 on a wristband and will use 3 cells for it so that we can break the cells down however we want.
Hope this makes sense.
Plays we send in from the sideline would be something like
"Left Far 823"
All of the extra words are for window dressing but do serve a purpose in exposing a defenses.

All of our protections are checked at the LOS so each pass play is listed with the same generic protection. Formations are signaled in. Right hand has right strength formations, left hand is left strength. we do put our motions on to the wristband along with our plays. It would be just as easy to signal those in as well, but we are limiting our signals as of right now due to our kids' comfort level. This is our wristcoach template: www.savefile.com/files/1763294 it holds 96 plays, fits cutter's and neumann's.

We signal all the formations, motions and pass protections in, the wristband has generic plays for example 1. Zone 2. Stretch 3. Trap etc. This is our 1st year doing it this way makes the playcalling more flexible, and is working well so far just had a scrimmage and had zero issues.

We signal the formation in and then we signal in a play number. On the wristband the plays are listed with motions tagged to them. We generally have 4 formations and our wristband holds 64 plays. Not all plays can be run out of all formations, but this gives us a lot of combinations.

We signal in all of our formations and motion. The quarterback has a wristcoach with the plays on it. He has 5 columns on his wristcoach, each one classified as a color column (red, blue, white, yellow, black). Each column has 10 plays, 0 through 9. I have the backup qb hold up the color card and I signal in the numbered play. Our "bread and butter" plays are listed a few times throughout the wristcoach so the defense cannot catch on(i.e. 25 power can be red 4 or blue 8). Works pretty well
