We’re youth coaches.
We wanted to use the tech kids already have.
Kids carry phones. We wanted a simple, affordable way to put the playbook on those phones — so an 11-year-old can study her assignment between practices, and we can finally see who actually did. We built what we wished we had on the sideline.
Playbooks die when seasons end.
Years of plays, installs and signals scattered across PDFs, Keynote files, and a shared Drive nobody renews. Move teams — lose it all.
Diagrams aren’t lessons.
A play drawn on a clipboard is a coach’s tool. Until a player sees their route, on their phone, it’s not a teaching tool.
Saturday morning shouldn’t mean Word docs.
Wristbands re-typed. Call sheets re-formatted. Playsheets re-printed. A change to one play means redoing every artifact — on a youth coach’s nights and weekends.
Kids learn on their phones — not in your binder.
The clipboard never made it home. The PDF never got opened. Meet kids where they already are, and see who’s actually looked at the install before Saturday.
One playbook,
four working surfaces.
Everything plugs into the same source of truth: change a play, and your installs sync to every kid’s phone — and your wristbands, call sheets, and playsheets regenerate in the web app for game day.
Your teams, your roster, your control.
Spin up a team in 30 seconds. Add players, assign positions, set jersey numbers. Bring last season’s roster forward, or invite parents to claim their kid’s spot.
Player Directory · Barbarians 2025Draw it like you’d draw it on the board.
A touch-first play editor. Place positions, draw routes, set per-player assignments. Built for the way coaches actually draw — whiteboard speed, finger-on-iPad fluency, no graphic-design ceremony.
Play Editor · Spread Detroit (Draw)The weekly plan, ready to ship.
Group plays into an install — Week 4 Red Zone, Two-Minute, Base Open. Assign by position, by player, or to the whole team. Wristbands, call sheets, and playsheets generate from the same data in the web app, so the printout always matches what’s on the iPad.
Playbook Hub · Fall 2025On every kid’s phone before Friday practice.
Players open OnChalk and see only what’s theirs — their teams, the install their coach just published, and the assignment for their position. They tap “open” and start studying. Free for players.
Player Home · Mason Rivera · BarbariansYour playbook generates the printout.
Wristbands, call sheets, and playsheets — all generated from the same playbook data. Change a play, and every artifact updates. Print from the web app on Saturday morning.
Wristbands
A grid of play names sized for a quarterback’s wrist. Each cell maps to a signal — call the number, run the play. Print, cut, sleeve, done.
Call sheets
A coach’s cheat sheet for the press box or the sideline. Sorted by situation — base, red zone, two-minute — so you never fumble through a binder on fourth down.
Playsheets
Full-page diagrams for the coaching staff or the film room. Every play in the install, drawn to scale, ready to print or share as a PDF.
Four steps.
One week.
Build the install.
Pull plays from your playbook into this week’s install. Reorder. Note the situation. Set who sees what — the whole team, just the line, one player.
Ship it.
Publish the install. Players get a push notification. They open the app and see their assignment for every play. Every play they open is recorded for the coach — no manual logging.
Check the dashboard.
See who’s opened the install, who’s lagging, who hasn’t cracked it yet. Pull the players who need a walk-through. Print this week’s wristbands and call sheets.
Run it.
Hit the field with wristbands on, call sheet in hand, and a team that already saw every play this week. No more “wait, what was my route?”
Free for the kids
to study their plays.
Player accounts don’t cost anything to view assigned installs. The barrier between a kid and learning their assignment shouldn’t be a credit card — and you shouldn’t have to chase parents for one.
Only what you assigned to them. No noise, no other teams, no extras.
Position-specific. The X sees X’s route. The TE sees TE’s block. No guessing.
Every install opened, every play viewed, every player who hasn’t cracked the install yet — recorded automatically.
Put it on chalk this week.
