Download Coach's Office Blank Chalkboard & Playbook for a New Season

Many coaches have asked us how to quickly delete their chalkboard and playbook entries when they begin a new season. For example, a university coach had over 600 plays and formations in his chalkboard and didn't want to delete them one at a time.

We took the chalkboard and playbook database files and deleted everything except the default formations.

Downloading the blank files completely replaces the existing chalkboard and playbook files - back up your files first.

1. Back up your current chalkboard and playbook database files to an external drive. DO NOT continue without doing this step. [back up]

   • This is in the event you want to reload it.

2. .Close Coach's Office software.

3. Locate the Coach's Office software folder, where you will save the download playbook.

   • Windows XP: Local Drive C/Program Files/coachsoffice

   • Windows 7, Vista: Local Drive C/coachsoffice

4. Download the blank file to the Coach's Office folder.

   • Chalkboard [download]

   • Playbook [download]

   • Browse to the folder location (see Locate above)

   • Choose "yes" to overwrite the existing file

5. Open Coach's Office with new, blank program files.

Coach's Office Blank Wristband Templates

Pre-drawn blank wristband templates come with the Coach's Office playbook. (The last chapter). If you accidentally deleted the template chapter, only the wristband chapter or pages were deleted. The Coach's Office wristband function is still part of the playbook program for you to create new ones. Use the advanced Coach's Office Copy Pages Utility to copy the originals to your current playbook file.

• Import/restore a recent playbook backup that has the templates chapter. Any work done in the playbook since the last backup will be lost.
