Which printable football squares grid should you download?
Use the 100 square grid for a full group of 10 or more players. Pick the 50 or 25 square grid for a smaller group, so every square gets filled. Choose quarter lines or halftime lines if you want new numbers during the game. The black and white grid saves ink.
For a very small group, there is also a 10 line football squares sheet with only 10 names to fill.

What is on each printable football squares sheet?
Every sheet has lines for the game, the date and the entry per square. There is a line for the top team and one for the side team, a box for each drawn number, the squares, and a winners box for the 1st quarter, halftime, 3rd quarter and final score.
How do you print football squares?
Open the PDF and print it at 100% on US Letter paper. On A4 paper, choose Fit to page. Plain paper works, and card stock holds up better when the sheet is passed around. For a wall size grid, ask a copy shop to print it at poster size.

What are quarter lines and halftime lines?
Quarter lines mean a new set of numbers for every quarter, so a square can hold strong numbers in one quarter and weak ones in the next. Halftime lines use 2 sets: one for the 1st quarter and halftime, and one for the 3rd quarter and final score.
Is an online grid better than a printed one?
Paper works best when everyone is in the same room. An online grid works better when players are in different places, because they can take squares from a phone and all see the same grid. The online generator also draws the numbers, and you can still print it.
