I am in the middle of putting together a playbook and I am at the passing game, which is really my weaker knowledge base (run vs. pass). I am trying to describe and explain how each route is run. I have seen a few different ways, but I really like the best is to use the counting of steps, and based on what number step you are on will determine when you break in your route. For example on your 3rd step you break outside and down for a quick hitch. Does anyone do this or better yet does anyone have a simple way of accomplishing this task.

I still find counting steps is the best way to teach accurate routes. I use it for our less experienced /younger receivers who tend to 'arc' more than 'cut'. Having them count their steps not only helps them with the right depth, it also puts focus on timing and stomping the right foot on the cut. You may have found these already but the WR clinic notes on topgunqbacademy helped my receivers coaches with basic route running. www.topgunqbacademy.com/PDFsVideo/Rec_LB.pdf

I think steps work best in high school because of our practice conditions. In college they have every yard marked and the numbers are shown on their field. In high school, that's not always the case. Steps allow you to be consistent on the high school level.
