Chalk Talk

A football playbook quiz on a real field.

Chalk Talk is a free football playbook quiz for staff and players. Questions are drawn on the field and answered on the field: tap the 3 technique, find the strong-side C gap, mark the soft spots in Cover 2. In your own terminology.

Free for every program. No credit card.

Hashmarks Chalk Talk quiz question on the field: tap the defender who has the flat

Everything on the board

Gaps and holes, fronts and techniques, coverages and soft spots, route concepts and reads, and blocking assignments.

Answers that can’t drift

Every question is built from a real play diagram and graded by the same engine that draws it. No hand-typed answer keys to go stale.

Three levels

Rookie, Varsity and Coordinator, from common formations with helper labels to every front and coverage with the names hidden.

See why, not just what.

After each answer the field shows the right one, with the labels that explain it. On coverage questions that means every soft spot, worked out from each defender’s landmark and depth.

  • Daily challenge: the same ten questions for the whole staff
  • Scores by topic and a review of every miss
  • Staff leaderboard for coaches
