The FieldWatch Playbook
A game-day concussion identification system you can run this weekend.
Two free editions, one system: School Sports and Youth Sports. Created by pro-level experts for every level of play, with or without an athletic trainer.
About the FieldWatch Playbook
The FieldWatch Playbook is a complete, build-it-yourself system for identifying a possible concussion on game day and escalating it correctly: the bridge between 'something happened' and your existing concussion protocol. It comes in two editions. The School Sports Edition is written for high school and small college programs, with or without an athletic trainer. The Youth Sports Edition is written for leagues, clubs, and teams where there is almost never an athletic trainer: a designated coach for every team, trained parents in assigned seats as FieldWatchers, a 15-minute coaches' training and a 10-minute parent version, a Coach Agreement, a parent letter, and a game-day card. Both are free, both are fillable PDFs, and both are the full guide, not a sample.
See how FieldWatch fits at every level of play, from secondary school to the NFL.
Start with the card
The Spotter Card is one page of the Playbook you can print and hand to every coach and parent today: the observable signs, the escalation script, the red flags, and the rule. No email required.

Both editions, for an email
For the athletic trainer, coach, commissioner, or parent who wants to read the whole thing before committing anything. Both editions are the full guide: the five-part method, every worksheet as a fillable PDF, the Coach Agreement, the parent letter and handout, the game-day card, and a 90-day plan. You can build the program from this alone. It also puts you on the list where we tell you what's next.
- Included:
- School Sports Edition (46 pages, fillable)
- Youth Sports Edition (51 pages, fillable)
- The Spotter Card one-pager
- Version updates by email
Implementation Kit
Coming Soon
For the program that wants to be running by next week, not next season. The Kit is the Playbook as editable source: put your school's or league's name on the Coach Agreement and the parent letter, cut the training deck to your sport, and hand the board a Word file. If it saves you one evening of design and copy work, it pays for itself.
- Everything in the free Playbook, plus:
- Editable Word source for the guide and every appendix
- Preseason training deck (PowerPoint) for coaches and staff
- 10-minute parent-meeting deck and 5-minute pregame huddle slides
- Pre-built preseason training video
- League and multi-team versions of the roster, zone map, and incident log
Expert Support
Contact Us
For the athletic director, commissioner, or multi-sport organization that wants this to actually land. The consult is for your specific program: sport mix, staff structure, board politics. The online simulation trains and certifies your observers so the training record points to something. The community is for asking another implementing program how they handled it. Annual because the support is ongoing.
- Everything in the Implementation Kit, plus:
- Private consultation with Dr. Robb Rehberg, creator of FieldWatch and pro football spotter program leader
- Online FieldWatcher simulation training (FieldWatch Sim)
- Certificates of completion for the training record
- 30-minute program consult plus 1 year of email support
- Private community of implementing programs
