I've coached flag football for years, from 1st grade all the way up, and I always wanted an easier way to manage the game. I built Flagbook to help coaches in the huddle: give your players a number or color, and every play becomes instantly clear — they'll always know exactly which route to run and where to be on the field. That idea grew into a full playbook and coaching app: draw your own plays, organize your team, print wristband cards, and run game day without digging through paper folders or old photos on your phone. DESIGN PLAYS YOUR WAY Tap to place players, drag to draw routes, and set defensive zones or blitz assignments — all on a field that scales to your format. Choose 5v5, 6v6, or 7v7, and adapt any play between formats with one tap. Players are numbered and colored left to right automatically, or turn that off in Settings and choose every number and color yourself. A REAL BUILT-IN PLAYBOOK Start with a full library of run, pass, and trick plays across every format, or build your entire playbook from scratch. Duplicate a play into a new format, flip it to the other side of the field, or tag it as a trick play, reverse, or RPO. PRINT WRISTBAND CARDS & PLAY SHEETS Pick your plays from pictures, drag them into order, and print wristband cards sized for real wrist coaches — Pee Wee, Youth, or Adult, with 1 to 8 plays per card and your own numbering. Or print full-page play sheets to hand out or post. (Flagbook Pro) STAY ORGANIZED Star your favorites, sort plays into custom folders — you can file a play right when you save it — and find what you need fast, mid-practice or mid-game. MANAGE YOUR ROSTER Build your roster with offensive and defensive positions for each player, split your team into two lineups, and flip them at halftime with one tap. A quick coverage summary shows you at a glance whether you have the right positions filled. RUN THE CLOCK A game clock pinned to the top of the app tracks time all game long, with a Timeout button that pauses without losing time — so you are not asking the ref how much time is left. FLAGBOOK PRO Try every feature free for 7 days. After that, Flagbook stays free with a sample playbook and limited saved plays — or upgrade to Flagbook Pro for the full play library, unlimited saved plays, wristband card and PDF printing, and tools to back up and duplicate your work across every format.
