A game day packet should make the staff faster, not heavier. The goal is not to print a giant binder that nobody reads. The goal is to put the right game-week information in one clean place before kickoff.
Start with the game summary
Coaches need opponent, game date, location, active week status, assignment count, active player count, and coach notes up front. That gives the staff a quick readiness snapshot.
Add the depth chart
A useful packet shows offense, defense, and special teams assignments clearly. Starters, backups, and rotation notes should be easy to scan when the sideline gets busy.
Include formation cards
If the staff tagged formations for the week, those cards belong in the packet. H.O.R.D.E.™ keeps the teaching visuals connected to game-week prep instead of scattered across files.
Include the active roster
The active roster gives coaches a quick reference for jersey numbers, player names, and basic team context.
Brand it when it matters
GOAT Signature™ adds a branded cover page, branded header/footer, prepared-for language, and a light watermark so the packet feels like a real program document.
