W hen you are done entering your information, click on Update to save your Key Play. Many coaches are using the Key Play feature to breakdown all of their plays in a game and provide commentary as well. An example of this would be to use the Title to mark the type of play (ex. Offense Run, Offense Pass, Defense Run, Defense Pass and Special Teams) and the Category to name the specific play (ex. Wishbone 35 Counter). You would then enter your written commentary in the Comment section. This feature can als o be used to break - down scout film of your opponents.
