    FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    Something else? Email info@americanfootballiq.com. We reply within one business day.

    Which deck should I start with?

    Most players start with Volume 1: Terms & Coverages, the vocabulary every other deck builds on. Quarterbacks can go straight to Volume 3, receivers and DBs to Volume 4, linemen to Volume 2. Brand new to football? Start with Football Basics. Still not sure? Take the 8-question quiz.

    What age is it for?

    The volumes are written for high school players, their parents and coaches, and work well from middle school up. Younger or brand-new players should start with Football Basics.

    How does the multi-deck discount work?

    Every deck in your cart counts toward the same discount, in any mix: 2 decks 8% off, 3 decks 12%, 4–9 decks 15%, 10 or more 20%. It applies automatically at checkout. Football Basics counts too. Gift cards aren't included.

    Do I need the volumes in order?

    No. Every volume stands on its own. Together they cover the whole field, and Volume 1 makes the others easier.

    Is it a good gift?

    Yes, for players, parents and coaches. Every US order ships free, and ships today. Not sure which deck? A gift card lets them choose.

    Can I order for a whole team?

    Yes. 10 or more decks, in any mix, are 20% off every deck. Use the Team & bulk page if you need an invoice.

    Shipping and returns?

    Free shipping on every US order, and it ships today with tracking. Returns within 30 days for a full refund.
