Free flag football plays you can edit

Passing plays

Quick-game and downfield concepts for every format: Verticals, Mesh, Smash, Slant-Flat, Hitches, Curls, Outs, Post-Corner, Bubble Screen, Drag and Out-and-Up. The quick plays are good for younger players, and the vertical and corner concepts give older teams a way to attack deep.

Run plays

Flag football run plays are drawn the way coaches think about them. Run a route past the quarterback and the line after the handoff turns brown so you can see who has the ball. Starter run plays include Dive, Sweep, Counter, Jet Sweep and QB Keeper.

Reverse and double reverse

A reverse sends the ball one way, then back the other way. A double reverse adds a third handoff. When the ball carrier's path crosses another player's route, the brown color moves to that player, so the reverse is easy to see and teach. In the double reverse, the other receivers run fades to pull the defense deep.

Defensive coverages

Switch to Defense to load zone, man and blitz looks, move defenders, and draw zones. It is a quick way to show your team what they will see and what to read.

5v5 and 6v6 flag football plays

Most youth leagues play 5v5 or 6v6, so each format has its own starter plays sized to the number of players. Load Mesh, Smash, Verticals, Slant-Flat, Jet Sweep, QB Keeper, Reverse or Double Reverse and adjust from there.

Mesh, Smash, Four Verticals, Flood and Slant-Flat are reliable 7v7 passing plays, and Dive, Sweep, Counter, Jet Sweep and the Double Reverse are good ways to keep a defense honest. All of them are in the TEYS 7v7 Playmaker.

How do I draw a run play or a reverse?

Draw a route that passes the quarterback and the part after the handoff turns brown, which marks the ball carrier. Cross a second player's route with the carrier's path and the brown color moves to that player, which shows a reverse or double reverse.

What is a double reverse in flag football?

A double reverse sends the ball one direction, reverses it the other way, then reverses it again. It works because the defense chases the ball and a receiver on the opposite side runs a fade to pull defenders deep. The Double Reverse in the Playmaker shows all three handoffs.

What flag football formats does it support?

5v5, 6v6 and 7v7, with starter plays built for each format.

Can I design defensive coverages?

Yes. Switch to Defense to move defenders, draw zones, set man assignments and load coverage looks, then switch back to offense.
