Our recently expanded Football Coaching Forms library includes a few variations of our Easy-Scout Game Breakdown forms, including two that we created in 1984 and included with our Easy-Scout software. Designed initially to help football coaches record Offensive plays sequentially before entering each play's data into a computer, the forms continue to be popular with Offensive and Defensive coaches in various situations.
What we refer to as our Game Scripting forms can be used to "scout" an opponent Offense or "self-scout" one's own Offense. Coaches have also found that this particular form helps to quickly reveal tendencies as a game progresses.

There are a couple of things about the design of the form that are worth mentioning:
- The Hash, Down, Distance, Formation Strength, Play Direction and Play Type columns are designed to make it is easy to circle the appropriate item.
- The Distance to go for a first down has S, M and L (Short, Medium, Long) in the upper half of the cell so its easy to either circle the distance range, enter the actual Yards to go for a first down below the S, M, L or both.
-- The # column is for the Play Number.
- There is no column to record the Series for space considerations. Most users draw a line between each series.
- There is very little room to draw plays (we have other forms for that), but it is possible to use the comment section for a few illustrations per page
When this form has been used by coaches in "the box" during a game, it is often accompanied by a Formation Hit Chart.
