How to create a football play in XO Gridmaker

Follow the complete play-building workflow—from a blank field to a saved, coach-ready diagram with players, routes, motion, defense, and notes.

The video uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced player. You can also watch on YouTube.

What you'll learn

  • Create a new offensive play and understand the editor layout
  • Arrange, rename, and style players on the field
  • Draw routes and reshape them with route anchors
  • Change route colors, line styles, endpoints, and motion
  • Add a defensive look and write useful coaching notes
  • Save the finished play and keep building the playbook

Turn the walkthrough into muscle memory

The guided editor tour creates a disposable practice play and walks you through the same tools inside XO Gridmaker. When you're comfortable, build the real play you want to install with your team.
