Prepare
Scout opponents, teach assignments and organize the week.
THE YOUTH FOOTBALL COACHING TOOLKIT
More time coaching.
Less time organizing.
Gridiron Works brings the everyday jobs of a football coach into one connected toolkit: teach, scout, track the game, review what happened, and turn those records into useful coaching information.
Available on Android through Google Play.
Coach
Use tools designed for a busy sideline and a real practice field.
Review
Turn what you recorded into reports, tendencies and the next adjustment.
ONE APP. FOCUSED TOOLS.
The Gridiron Works toolkit
Each module has a specific coaching job. Together they are being built into one connected football workflow.
TEACHING / QUICK IDEAS
Board
A feature-rich football white board built for explaining a concept quickly without giving up useful coaching tools.
- Draw routes, blocking ideas and coaching points with multiple colors
- Place X/O players, shapes, arrows and football-specific markings
- Load an existing image and work over it with editable layers
- Add optional field/grid markings over imported images
- Save editable boards and reopen them later
- Export finished boards as PNG images
Board is designed to work especially well in landscape mode.
GAME DAY / OFFENSIVE REVIEW
Drive Chart
Fast game-day logging with a postgame report that is meant to tell a coach something useful.
- Track plays, downs, field position and drives
- Use a play library, quick entry and voice-assisted logging
- Review and correct entries before reporting
- See play, formation and situational tendencies
- Generate a complete coaching report and play-by-play record
EVALUATION / PREPARATION
Scout
Keep player evaluations and opponent notes organized instead of scattered across paper, texts and memory.
- Record player evaluations and opponent scouting notes
- Organize information by team and season
- Open and revise saved evaluations
- Create clean individual, team and opponent reports
- Export polished PDFs that are ready to read or share
FEATURE SPOTLIGHT
More than a blank white board.
Board is meant to be the fast teaching surface a coach reaches for during practice, film review, a meeting or a sideline conversation. Start clean, or load an existing image and annotate it without flattening everything into one layer.
Import + overlayBring in a screenshot, formation, photo or diagram and coach directly over it.
Editable layersKeep the base image separate from your drawings so the board stays usable.
Field markingsTurn on optional grid/field lines when they help explain spacing and landmarks.
Save the workReopen saved boards or export a PNG when the explanation needs to leave the app.
FROM DATA TO COACHING INFORMATION
Analytics and reports that stay connected to the play log
The goal is not to collect numbers for their own sake. Gridiron Works is being built to turn the information a coach already records into a clear postgame picture.
Drive summary
Review possession starts, play count, net result, run/pass mix and how each drive ended.
Call tendencies
See which concepts, formations and situations were used most and what the recorded results were.
Efficiency indicators
Surface success, explosive gains, negative plays, turnovers and other coaching-relevant results.
Complete play log
Keep the detailed record behind the summary so a coach can audit, review and correct the report.
Shareable reports
Produce readable reports for staff review instead of forcing coaches to interpret a raw CSV export.
Scout PDFs
Create organized player, team and opponent reports that can be saved, printed or shared with staff.
CURRENT UPDATE
Board joins the suite
What changed
- Board is now part of the main Gridiron Works app alongside Drive Chart and Scout.
- The new Board white board adds image import, layers, field/grid overlays, saved boards and PNG export.
- Drive Chart continues to expand its review workflow, analytics and comprehensive game reporting.
- Scout adds cleaner PDF reporting for player, team and opponent information.
- The app now uses the updated Gridiron Works football-and-anvil identity.
Built from the reality that the same youth coach may be the play caller, planner, evaluator, teacher and record keeper.
THE LONGER VIEW
Build the play once. Use it through the whole coaching week.
The long-term direction is a connected system where information does not have to be recreated every time the job changes.
