Creating Playbooks and How to Use Them

SkyEye Sports offers the ability to create, save, and edit digital playbooks to go along with your game film. Playbooks are directly linked to the tagging area. Each formation and play from your playbook can be tagged for each individual play.

Playbooks are also printable, meaning quick and easy distribution of plays to your team or scout team!

How To:

1. You can create and edit your playbook by clicking “Playbook” on the Secured Page of your team site.

2. After clicking into the Playbook, you are going to be given options of what Playbook you want to work with. In football, you will get 'Offensive,’ ‘Defensive,’ and ‘Special Teams.’ In all other sports, you will not get Special Teams (obviously).

3. Once you choose which team you want to work with, you will be given a page with all of your

formations and plays. To add a new formation click “Add New” beside formation (red). To add a new play to the formation click “Add New” under the Play List (green). You can also view each play in a formation by clicking “View All” (blue).  You can also navigate to other sides of the ball as well (yellow). You can get a printable list of all of your formations and plays by clicking “Play List” (purple).

4. Add a new formation: Add a title, then add the drawing of the formation. This is optional. In order to use in tagging area, you have to input the title, not the drawing. You can also come back and edit it later! Make sure to click “Save.”

Add a formation name and name the play, top right of the picture above.

Playbook Linked to Tagging Area: Your playbook is linked to the tagging area. If you do not want to use it, you can use the gear box and hide the column. Each playbook “Formation” is linked to the corresponding selection in the “O/D/ST” column. Each “Play Call” is linked to the “Formation” column.
