That is cool

Hope this helps

I along with some other coaches here have been studying Anthony's MPFL DVD. We all love the system and been practicing in this system
. We are planning on starting a league soon. I would like to get a scale sized board in order to fully appreciate this system. I read in a previous post you made scale sized boards. Is this true? I hope so I would like to purchase one. LMK, Thanks

1: The DVD is out there and answers a lot of question.
2: The game of football has not changed, so if you understand the game of football, 1st and 10, 11 on 11, tackles, blocking, etc
3: Be able to follow the steps, Step 1 The NFL has a play clock, and in this system you do to 45 seconds to set up 11 men.

Or Think of it as driving a car, Step 1 open the door, 2 sit in the drivers seat,3 put the key in the ignition, 4 turn the key......
these are steps/procedures to do a thing.
