after looking through the playbook section today
i wondered
how many guys out there take a whole playbook and use it word for word in their system?
scooby told me about a guy that used the coverdale robinson bunch book word for word to build a strong passing game.
I like seeing different ways to do things and looking for BETTER ways to organize things more than anything.
Just wondering.

i make one each summer for all our coaches.....
....then i never look at it again.
we modify, adjust, add, etc. every season. the playbook is merely a starting point and road map for those "new" to our offense.
funny - or sad - story: a couple of years ago we hired a new rec's coach. the hc said, "huey, give him your playbook so he can start learning it over the summer." -- oops, had no freakin' clue where one was -- hadn't looked at one in a few years. i just took him to the board and projector.

Never had a playbook until college and it was huge. While coaching we also never had a playbook. Currently I'm trying to put one together for next year so there is a base for everything. I might just give one to every coach and selected sections to the players. What are some of the must of a playbook?  besides plays. |

we included every piece of terminology as this is the basis for everything -- i.e. communication
also, put in the procedural things -- huddle, ways plays are called, etc.

Besides plays, you should have your program vision, philosophy, Some powerful quotes, Glossary etc...
I just started to work on our playbook. Last season we had a play sheet that told players what to do. Bad thing, a lot of players needed to see it drawn up on paper. We need a base for future reference. So , I've been working diligently on it. The X-mas vacation has given me the opportunity.

I have my playbooks on paper and I reference them all the time with my players. The language barrier is sometimes a problem here so its good to have a nice professional looking paper to show them, makes it easier for them to understand.
Each play has its own page in the playbook, then following is a sheet of about 10 blank formations. I have them there so when we get to the season the guys can draw up the plays vs. all the defenses we play, plus all the flip versions of our plays. Then at the end of the season I take my copies of these formation pages and transfer them to the computer.
I'm young so I find it helps me to have as much study material as I can, even for my own system. I am always learning and evolving my style so its good to be able to physically see it at times.

I put a great deal of pride and effort into my offensive playbook. I consider it an accumulation of all my work over the years and all the cool things I’ve learned and incorporated into my system.
Our playbook is designed into sections:
Section I: Offensive System
Philosophy
Play List
Terminology
Leadership Philosophy
Huddle Procedures
Holes and Line Splits
Formation System and Descriptions
Shift and Motion System
Playcalling Procedures
Cadence and Audible System
No-Huddle Procedure
Section II: Backfield Techniques
This is essentially a RB manual. It will include a description of all the drills the RB’s use throughout the season. It will then have a single page for each run play and will describe the steps, reads, etc. for each run play out of each base backfield set. It is divided by backfield action series (Belly, Lead, Sweep, Zone)
Section III: Blocking System
This section is the OL manual. It contains a thorough description of our blocking system, drills, etc.:
Run Schemes
Pass Protection Schemes
Play List by Scheme
Defensive Front Recognition
Blocking Rules
Blocking Calls- Definitions and Illustrations
It then includes diagrams of each play (single page) against 4 common defensive fronts. It is divided up into blocking scheme categories (zone / man, iso, counter / trap, g, pull, option)
Section IV: Passing System
Passing Game Philosophy and Structure
Route Tree and Definitions
Receiver Formation Examples
It is then divided up into category of pass (Playaction, Quick (3 step), Dropback (5-7 step), and Rollout)
We use our playbook as a reference guide for coaches. Almost everything you need to coach our offense from an x’s and o’s (and even general technique) standpoint is in that book. It is a great tool for us, and many coaches will copy pages out of it and bring them to practice so that they know what they are supposed to be teaching that day. We give the QB’s a copy, and we have a few extra copies that the kids can sign out if they like.
Our defensive playbook is designed much the same way.

excellent lochness! One thing our header makes us do to add to our playbook is each coach is responsible to make a position manual that includes; group goals (must be aligned with offense and prorgram goals), terminology, drills, how the drill aligns with what we are trying to accomplish.
Then each position coach will select only the materials out of our master playbook that he feels are needed for his position group and make copies to add with the position manaul.
My OL/TE manual has about 20 pages of blank diagrams. I make my guys do lots of diagraming of the plays vs. fronts etc... in our group meetings.

We have one, but things change year to year

We have one and use it regularly.
It is the basis for our meetings during summer camp and I have my linebackers bring it to every meeting.
The game plan changes we make on a weekly basis are based off our base information in the playbook. All of our line stunts, blitzes and pass coverages are described in detail in the playbook.
Even with all this information, players still have questions and you make adjustment and explain or answer their questions on the practice field.

We found that blank templates within our playbooks was the best way to teach the players our scheems on a year to year basis. Since it grows and changes so rapidly, if we want to change or add anything throughout the season all we do is add in a blank template and have the players diagram the plays.

all i can say is that my wife has finally learned not to throw any of my "football scrathings" away.
