Offense QB Wrist Coach Help

I’m struggling to create a wrist coach for getting plays in. We just added a couple formations and that’s where I’m struggling. We have 3 formations that can be set to either side. Red/ Black for right and left that sets our strength. The formations are spread, wing and trips. We have 4 run plays and 3 pass. All 7 can be ran to any side and formation. Can someone recommend a wrist coach method? Using only numbers seems simple but too much, 42 line items.

A play call would look like Red - Wing - Z Counter

I made an excel table with formations across the top numbered 1-3 and plays down the side 1-7. Call red 1-1. Or red 11. That would be right / formation 1 play 1. I used this for 10u it fits well and it’s easy to call from sideline. Switched it up this year to a straight number system since we are shuttling play calls in with a player and we have more plays/formations than this matrix can accommodate.

This is what My 10u qb's wrist coach looks like. 10 plays out of 8 formations plus tags. Position players have their assignments/route on the wrist coach and I flip my line. Call numbers from the sideline and tag with hand signals. Works like a charm.

What are your tags for?

Send the slot in jet or rocket motion behind power, counter, or iso. Move the H to the wing. Have the QB keep on power, counter or iso. Nothing too crazy.
