FLAG FOOTBALL PLAY DESIGNER
Playside is a free online tool for drawing 5v5 and 7v7 flag football plays. Start from a formation, add routes and assignments, then build a playbook, call sheet or quarterback wristband.

BUILT FOR FLAG FOOTBALL
70 × 30 for 5v5 with the no-run zones marked. 7v7 on 80 × 40 or a full field.
New plays start at your own 15, outside the no-run zones, and the quick spots skip them too.
The player limit follows your chosen format: five or seven a side.
Starter formations with your QB, center and receivers. Rename them, or save your own.
Edit a call and the wristband changes with it.
Write each position's job once, and it goes out with the playbook.
TO SCALE
Show receiver splits, routes and defensive alignments on a field drawn to scale. Zoom in to explain one route or pull back to show the whole play.
FIELD CONTROLS
Zoom into a route, pan across the alignment and choose your yard-line spot. View the play from either end of the field.
SAVE YOUR FORMATIONS
Adjust a starter to match your splits, save it with your own name, and apply it to the next diagram. Keep the lineup and draw a different play.
PLAYBOOKS & PRINT
Organize your flag plays into sections and drag them into the order you teach. Export the playbook to PDF or PowerPoint for your staff and players.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Record each position's assignment beside the play. Include those responsibilities in the PDF you give your staff and players, so the drawing and the coaching notes travel together.
LIVE MODE
Live mode keeps your edits temporary. Share your screen on a video call to workshop your playbook with other coaches, then save a new version or reset to the original.
