Why we built it

You're the head coach, the OC, the DC, and the guy who brings the cones.

Most youth and high school staffs are one or two volunteers doing the job of eleven. No offensive line coach to check the pull path. No coordinator to draw up an answer for Cover 3. No one to explain the read to the kid who keeps running the wrong route.

PlaybookMax gives you the playbook, the schedule, and the team in one app, and with Pro, a full AI coaching staff that reads every play you draw and tells you what a position coach would.

No film staff No coordinator No position coaches Still a full staff
01 · Draw and call plays

The playbook, on the phone you already carry

Offense and defense. Formations, routes, reads, keys, and branches. Organize it into playbooks and publish the plays your team should know.

Design both sides

Draw offensive and defensive plays with real formations, routes, reads, keys, and branches. Tap to place, drag to draw.

Publish to the team

Organize plays into playbooks. Publish the ones that are ready and every player and family sees them in the app.

Position notes

Every kid sees what their job is on every play, in plain words. No more "what do I do here, coach?"

02 · Run the team

Roster, schedule, practice, chat. One place.

  1. Roster and depth. Positions, backups, and who's in which plays.

  2. Schedule and attendance. Create events, collect a response for every player.

  3. Timed practice periods. Run the whole practice plan from your phone.

  4. Team chat. Photos, plays, checklists, quizzes, and reactions. Report and block controls built in.

Schedule and attendance

The whole season, in one place everyone can see

Practices, games, film nights, and team events live on one shared calendar. Coaches, staff, and every family see the same schedule the moment it changes.

  • One calendar for the team. No group text to scroll back through, no separate parent email. It's in the app.

  • Color-coded by type. Practice, game, film, and team events read at a glance.

  • Attendance built in. Families respond going, unsure, or not going for each player, and you see the count per event.

  • Import a season or add as you go. Edit or cancel an event and everyone's calendar updates.

03 · Talk to the whole team

One message. Every coach, player, and parent.

Team chat is built into the app, so a message from the head coach lands on every phone on the roster. No group text with the wrong numbers, no email nobody reads.

  • Push notifications. Practice moved, field changed, game called. Everyone knows in seconds.

  • More than text. Share photos, plays, checklists, and quizzes right in the thread. React to the good ones.

  • Coach controls. Report messages and block members. Pro adds custom chat rooms for staff or position groups.

04 · Bring the families in

Parents see the plays their kid is in

Invite coaches, staff, and families to the team. Each family gets their linked players' cards and the published plays those players are in. Checklists and quizzes land in chat so nobody shows up without a mouthguard.

Parent-managed access: adults run the account. Kids view plays and profiles together with a parent. No separate child logins.

“Don't lose the game before you get a chance to win it.”

Weighs every call by situation: down, distance, field position, clock, and what happens if it fails. The punt and turnover downside, not just the touchdown upside.

Does every parent need to pay?

No. One Pro subscription covers the whole team. Any coach, staff member, or family member can upgrade, and everyone shares the AI allowance.

Can my players log in?

Player profiles don't have separate child logins. Kids view published plays and their player card together with a parent or guardian on that adult's account.
