Every Subscription Includes

American Football Quarterly is the football coaching magazine written by coaches, for coaches. Since 1998 we have published the X’s and O’s, practice drills, game-planning methods and program-building ideas that working staffs actually use — and a subscription opens all of it.

Four Issues a Year

A new digital edition every quarter, packed with offensive and defensive schemes, special teams, strength and conditioning, and coaching philosophy from championship programs.

The Complete Archive

Unlimited access to the online archive of coaching articles: hundreds of football drills, install ideas and game-plan breakdowns, searchable by topic, position and author.

Digital Editions

Read every issue in the page-turning digital edition on your phone, tablet or laptop — in the office, on the bus, or on the sideline during summer camp.

Subscriber-Only Articles

Web-exclusive coaching articles published between issues, plus back issues of the magazine, all included with one subscription.

Written by Coaches, for Coaches

Most of our readers are high school head coaches and assistants; the rest are college coaches, coordinators and youth coaches who want proven ideas rather than theory. Our contributors are working coaches who explain how they teach a scheme, run a practice or build a program — with diagrams, coaching points and the reasons behind the decisions.

Whether you are installing a new offense, tightening your defensive game plan, designing an off-season strength calendar or taking over a program for the first time, a subscription puts a staff room full of experienced coaches at your fingertips all year long.

Ready to take your coaching to the next level?

Invest in proven ideas, better preparation, and a competitive edge for your team.

Subscription Questions, Answered

Everything coaches ask before subscribing to American Football Quarterly.

What do I get with an American Football Quarterly subscription?
Every subscription includes four digital issues of American Football Quarterly a year, read in our page-turning digital edition on any device, plus full access to the online archive of coaching articles and the subscriber-only articles published between issues. One subscription covers everything on the site.
How much does a subscription cost?
A one-year subscription is $37. A two-year subscription is $59, which works out to about 20% less per year. Gift subscriptions are the same price for a one- or two-year term and include a gift certificate for the recipient.
Is American Football Quarterly a print magazine or a digital magazine?
American Football Quarterly is published as a digital edition. Each of the four yearly issues is delivered as an online flipbook you can read on a phone, tablet or computer, and every issue stays in your archive for as long as you subscribe. There is nothing to wait for in the mail.
When does my access start?
Your online access begins as soon as your order is processed, usually within minutes of checkout. Sign in with the email and password you choose on the order form and the current issue, the back issues and the archive are all there.
What kind of football coaching content is in the magazine?
X's and O's from working offensive and defensive coordinators, practice drills with coaching points, game planning and play calling, special teams, strength and conditioning, program management and coaching careers. Articles are written by current and former high school and college coaches, not by journalists, and are chosen to be usable at the high school level.
Who is American Football Quarterly written for?
High school head coaches and assistants make up most of our readers, along with college coaches, youth coaches and coordinators looking for new ideas. If you install schemes, run practices or manage a program, the magazine is written for you.
Can I buy a subscription as a gift?
Yes. Choose "Order Gift" above, then enter the recipient's details on the order form. You can pick a one- or two-year term, and the recipient receives a gift certificate along with full access to the digital editions and archive.
I am already a subscriber. How do I renew?
Use the renewal page rather than starting a new subscription, so your existing access continues without interruption. You can renew for one or two years at the same prices shown here.
How do I pay, and is it secure?
Checkout is handled by PayPal. You can pay with any major credit or debit card or with a PayPal balance, and you do not need a PayPal account. Your card details are entered on PayPal's secure pages and never touch our servers.
Who do I contact with a question about my subscription?
Call customer service at 561-827-1633 during business hours, or use the contact page on this site. We are a small staff of football people and we answer our own phone.
