XO Gridmaker

A tour of XO Gridmaker

Everything a youth football coach
needs for a playbook.

Design plays, build formations, run game mode from the sideline, and print call sheets and wristbands — all in one place. Built by a coach, so it works the way coaches think.

Printed call sheet and four wristbands on the field — generated from a real XO Gridmaker playbook
Print-ready

From screen
to wristband.

One-click PDFs sized for wristbands, call sheets, and the bench-side binder. Numbering, formations, and tags all carry through so the printout reads just like the app.

Every example playbook has a live print preview — try one.

Why coaches switch

Youth football's best
play-design and team-management tool.

A few things set XO Gridmaker apart from the playbook apps, clipboards, and slide decks coaches usually patch together.

Free to start, affordable for the whole team

A simple 16-play playbook is free, forever. Team Coach plans cover your full staff without per-seat surprises.

Free for players on mobile

Players see the playbook, watch the calls, and review notes from their phone — no paid seat required.

Better-looking, customizable printouts

One-click PDFs for call sheets and wristbands. Tune the layout, density, and grouping to match how you actually call the game.

A play editor that works everywhere

The same fast, fun editor on desktop, tablet, and phone. Draw plays at the kitchen table or fix a route on the bus.

Playbook, team, and calendar in one place

Roster, practice schedule, and game calendar live alongside your plays. No bouncing between four apps to run a season.

Built for how youth coaches actually work

Every screen is designed around real practice, real sidelines, and real volunteer-coach time budgets.

Every screen

Make plays on your desktop
or on the field.

An easy, fun play editor designed for desktop, tablet, and mobile. Draw it up at the kitchen table, review it on the sideline, pull up the call on your phone between series.

Save formations and reuse them across plays. Tag by situation, personnel, or read so you can pull up every red-zone RPO with a single filter.

  • Reusable formations with personnel splits
  • Multi-tag plays — stack as many as you want
  • Filter your whole playbook by tag combos
Game Mode

Call plays fast.
Log outcomes faster.

Purpose-built for the sideline. Pull up the play in one tap, log the result in two. No menus, no hunting — the call sheet is always one thumb away.

  • One-tap play lookup by number or tag
  • Gain / loss / penalty / score shortcuts
  • Works offline — sync when you're back on wifi
Game Mode · Free for every coach

Call plays from your phone.
Free, on every device.

Game Mode lets any coach call plays on the field from a phone or tablet — no paid plan required. Plays show up in a clear, simple interface, and you can log what worked (and what didn't) in a tap or two.

Built by a coach

Built by a youth football coach
for youth football coaches.

XO Gridmaker is built by an active flag, youth tackle, and 7v7 coach. Every feature exists because a real practice, a real game, or a real drive home from the field demanded it.
