The Play Editor is a feature of Pro Quick Draw designed to provide football coaches with a collection of pre-made shapes, enabling them to create diagrams quickly and effectively.
Leverage our Play Editor to access a variety of pre-designed shapes, or design your own shapes and organize them in a convenient menu for quick addition to your diagrams.
Play Editor Shapes consist of unique coaching components such as lines representing receiver routes and lineman movements, text boxes, and various other elements that enhance your diagrams beyond the base drawing.
