Installation Packages: Pass Game (16x9)

Install package that contains Play Editor Drawings & Shapes that coaches will use to begin to customize their Pass Game Playbook Files. 

What does it include?

Drawings:

Formations: Drawing Library - use this to create all of the formations for your playbook that is used as the foundation to create your Pass Game File Library

Shapes:

Alignments: Text box when added to a selected player, will display the location of the player on the field. (#-1)

Motions: Pre-built lines when added to a selected player will show the pre-snap movement

Progressions: A colored circle with a number in it to show the QB Progression within a Pass Concept

QB Paths: Pre-built lines to show the path of a QB

Routes-Name: Pre-built lines with a route concept that will drop below the selected player when added. (Open the Routes-Name file and open the selection pane within the arrange button to edit the name of the routes and change them to your terminology. Right click on the Routes-Name library and choose settings, select "Ungroup On Add". This will ungroup the route and the name when adding to a drawing to easily adjust the route.

Routes: Pre-built lines that will drop on a selected player

The PQD Route libraries and shapes are built from a Field to Boundary perspective. The drawings are built to where the ball is on the left hash and the field is to the right. The routes are built to where in-breaking routes go to the left, and out-breaking routes go to the right. If you set your drawings in the middle of the field this principle still applies. If you add a drawing and flip it to where the ball is on the right hash, the routes will also need to be flipped to match this concept. Best practice is to draw from field to boundary, if the ball is in the middle, draw from right to left. 

Stock Lines: Pre-built lines & freeform objects that will allow a coach to select the object and begin drawing with a default line/shape. (Solid/Dashed lines, dots, ovals, arrows)

To use this feature, right click a shape within the Shape Library and select "Set as Default Line or Shape" and then go to the drawing tools on the ribbon. If you're using a line, select a line. If you're using a freeform shape, select the freeform drawing tool.

 

Protection blocking shapes are not in this package, if you want those, download the scout shapes where there is a blocking shapes library.
