The playname uses the the number system of the Hole Assignments and/or Passing Tree to call the play name. It is very important for players to understand the format because this play name format allows coaches to combine any formation, play direction, motion type, blocking scheme or whatever the coaches desire in their offense. Below are examples of a typical run playname and pass playname:
EXAMPLE RUN PLAY
* FORMATION - how the backfield lines up, such as a PRO. formation, "I" formation, or "Ace" formation for example.
* ALIGNMENT - the side on which the "Y" receiver lines up. (The HB lines up OPPOSITE of the ALIGNMENT)
* The FIRST number is the MAIN BALL CARRIER.
* The SECOND number is the HOLE ASSIGNMENT.
* The PLAY TYPE is the type of play that will be used.
* Variations of run playnames can include special blocking schemes, Motion, or other instructions
EXAMPLE PASS PLAY
* FORMATION - the alignment of the backfield.
* ALIGNMENT - the side on which the "Y" receiver lines up. (The HB lines up OPPOSITE of the ALIGNMENT)
* MOTION - motion called, when necessary.
* The FIRST number is the "X" receiver route.
* The SECOND number is the "Y" receiver route.
* The THIRD number is the "Z" receiver route.
* The "BACKFIELD ROUTE" is for the backfield routes, when necessary.
* The play may also include the type of pass protection for the linemen when necessary (such as on a rollout or flood play for example).
* Other calls or play variations can be added to the end of the play name, such as a rollout, flood, or sprintout for example.
