CompuSports (originally Comp-U-Sports Inc.) was founded in 1984 to publish and distribute coaching software. Our Easy-Scout software was one of the first football scouting software applications for personal computers (Apple II and IBM PC) and was followed by the Easy-Stats line of software applications for managing sports statistics. Easy-Stats was published and marketed until the early 1990's, while Easy-Scout remains available to this day.

 

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

 

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

 

As the internet emerged as a viable platform for eCommerce, software delivery, and software support in the mid 90's, "floppy disks", CDs and printed material were gradually replaced by digital downloads, online manuals and PDF's distributed through compusports.com as early as 1996. A few years later, we added complementary  web sites like The CompuSports Media Exchange, a site for distributing eBooks and later 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 as we shifted our focus away from software and into content publishing and podcasting.   The CompuSports Radio Network , began publishing football coaching podcasts in January of the following year, and by 2015 had published over 100 Coaches Corner, Mesh Point and Moving the Chains football coaching podcasts, all of which remain available to this day.

 

The Option Central 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 collaborated with Coach DeMeo in preparing his book, Tony DeMeo's Triple Gun Offense: An Evolution of Option Football, for publication - first as an eBook, and later in the Summer of 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".

With the success of the "Evolution" project, two additional book collaborations with Coach DeMeo - the release of a Kindle version of his previously published  The Grass Isn't Greener; Its Only Astro-turf, and a new book in Paperback,  Little Things that Win Big Games were completed in December 2024 and August 2025 respectively. Both are available at Amazon.

 

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.
