Alt Playbook

Playbooks are notebooks or documents that outline and describe a strategy for a certain sport, organization or activity. For example, video game playbooks may contain tricks and tips for passing through certain levels of each game. The term playbook is particularly associated with football.

In football, a playbook is traditionally a spiral-bound notebook with techniques and vocabulary relating to game plays as well as information about team formations. Different formations require different combinations of players depending on whether the play is an offensive or defensive one. Football playbooks are given to each team member at the start of the season's training period.

A play in football is loosely defined as what players do after the kickoff. The term playmaker refers to a teammate able to implement plays in a way that hopefully creates a winning game. In running plays, the team member runs with the football rather than passing it to other teammates to get closer to the opponent's goal. In passing plays, the objective is for team members to pass the football to other players so that the ball gets up to team members located near the other team's goal line.
