CompuSports was founded in 1984 to publish and distribute football coaching software. Our Easy-Scout software was one of the first football scouting software applications for personal computers.

 

...more on the history of Easy-Scout and football scouting

 

For 25 years, our focus was on creating and distributing "packaged" software.  In addition to Easy-Scout, we published software applications for football scouting, statistics, video analysis, athletic recruiting and athletic equipment inventory management. We also distributed many playbook software applications on behalf of their publishers, including Chalk Talk, Playmaster, Playmaker Pro and Coach's Office on behalf of their publishers.

 

As the internet emerged as a viable platform for eCommerce in the late 90's, it affected our business in profound  ways. Floppy disks, CDs and printed material were replaced by digital downloads, online manuals and PDFs, and we built a number of complementary  web sites  including The CompuSports Media Exchange, a site for distributing eBooks and videos and www.footballcoachingsites.com  - a directory of  football coaching sites, camps and clinics.

 

In 2009, we acquired the Option football coaching web site - www.optioncentral.net from its founder, and added videos to its existing collection of option football articles., and two years later, launched the last of our web sites,  CompuSports Radio.  By 2015, CompuSports Radio had published over 100 Coaches Corner, Mesh Point and Moving the Chains football coaching podcasts, all of which remain available to this day.

 

Our YouTube Channel  was launched in 2013, and includes a sampling of the material available at Option Central, including a number of full-length Play of the Day Chalk Talk videos that we produced in collaboration with Coach Tony DeMeo.  Working with Coach DeMeo, a widely renowned authority and innovator in the world of Option football, we created 9 Virtual Playbook DVDs (now available in streaming format) ,  10 CoachTube "courses" and numerous Podcasts and audio-enabled versions of Coach DeMeo's Play of the Day in YouTube Shorts. 

 

In the Summer of 2023, we re-imagined and redesigned our www.footballcoachingsites.com web site, adding live "feeds" from web sites, podcasts, YouTube Channels and Forums.   We also assisted Coach DeMeo in preparing his book, Tony DeMeo's Triple Gun Offense: An Evolution of Option Football, for publication - first as an eBook, and a year later in 2024, in a Paperback version, that is available at Amazon.com.   Tony DeMeo's Triple Gun Offense: An Evolution of Option Football is considered by Coach DeMeo to be "the best thing he's ever done". 

 

While our software development activities remain on hiatus, we continue to maintain and improve the collection of resources that we've been providing to the football coaching community for over 40 years.
