Coach Board is the flag football playbook that works in the browser. ## What is Coach Board for flag football? Coach Board is an online flag football play designer: draw 5v5, 6v6 or 7v7 plays on a real flag field, animate the routes, and share your playbook with the team as one link. Open it in a browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. Line up your players, drag out the routes and the handoff, press play, and send the board to every family on the team. Nothing to download. Flag football plays live or die on timing. The center has to clear the line before the quarterback looks, the slant has to break before the rusher arrives at seven yards, and the handoff has to happen behind the line before anyone can run. A wristband card shows the lines; it can't show the order. Coach Board is a flag football play designer that plays the snap back as an animation, so an eight-year-old sees where to go and when to get there. The field is the one your team plays on: a 70-yard NFL FLAG field with end zones, the midfield line and the no-run zones marked, so you never draw a run play into a zone where it's illegal. Build your 5v5 package, your 7v7 passing concepts and your zone defense on separate boards, then group them by team or by age group. Coach Board is a web-based flag football coaching app, so the playbook goes wherever you coach: the kitchen table on Thursday, the tablet on the sideline on Saturday. Share any play as a link and parents can pull it up with their kids before the game. ## Features for flag football coaches - **Animate routes, handoffs and rushes** — Sequence the whole snap: the center's release, the QB's reads, the handoff behind the line and the rusher's path. Loop it until every player knows their spot. - **A playbook for every age group** — Keep your U8 package simple and your U14 playbook deep. Boards organize by team, format (5v5, 6v6, 7v7) or opponent, and each play is one tap away. - **Defense on the same field** — Draw your zone or man coverage, show where the rusher starts, and play it against your own formations so defenders see who hands off to whom. - **One link for players and parents** — Share a play as a link that opens on any phone, animation included. Export images for wristbands or video clips for the team chat. ## Flag Football library - [5v5 Flag Football Plays](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/5v5-plays.md) — Tactic: Install five simple, legal plays that cover quick passing, zone stretch, man beaters and a run threat, so the offense can move the ball from its own 5 yard line across midfield and into the end zone. - [Flag Football Routes](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/routes.md) — Drill: Teach every receiver the core flag football routes at consistent depths, and give the offense a numbered route tree so plays can be called in one word in the huddle. - [6v6 Flag Football Plays](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/6v6-plays.md) — Tactic: Show coaches what the sixth player adds to a flag offense and install four plays that turn that extra man into a numbers advantage against zone and man coverage. - [7v7 Flag Football Plays](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/7v7-plays.md) — Tactic: Install four passing concepts that stress seven-man coverage horizontally and vertically, with a QB progression that finishes inside the pass clock. - [Flag Football Zone Defense](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/zone-defense.md) — Tactic: Install one base zone coverage with a rusher, teach defenders to pass receivers between zones, and know when to switch to man coverage. - [Flag Pulling Drill](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/flag-pulling-drill.md) — Drill: Build reliable flag pulling technique: a controlled breakdown, eyes on the ball carrier's hips, a two-hand grab at the near hip, and pursuit angles that cut off the runner. - [Flag Football Trick Plays](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/trick-plays.md) — Tactic: Add four legal misdirection plays to a flag offense, each built off a base play the defense has already seen, with a clear rule check and a game situation for calling it. - [Flag Football Practice Plan](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/practice-plan.md) — Training Session: Run a complete 60-minute flag football practice that builds catching, route running and flag pulling, installs one or two plays and a base defense, and finishes with game-like reps. - [Flag Football Rushing Drill](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/rushing-drill.md) — Drill: Teach rushers to start legally from the rush line, attack the quarterback on an angle that contains the play, and pressure the throw with hands up and no contact. - [Flag Football Formations](https://www.coachboard.app/library/flag-football/formations.md) — Tactic: Teach coaches and players five core alignments, what each one stresses in coverage, and one simple play per formation so the whole team learns the shapes quickly. ## FAQ ### Is Coach Board a flag football play designer?
