The AFL Coaches Board That Turns Your Rooms Into a Proper War Room
The Sportsboards AFL Game Day Board is the AFL coaches board built for the rooms — a full 140cm × 120cm magnetic whiteboard with the oval printed on it, 35 jumbo magnetic name tags for moving players around the ground, two markers, and a sturdy aluminium frame that mounts clean on the wall. It's the board that makes your half-time talk look and feel like you know exactly what you're doing — because you can show it, not just say it.
Sportsboards supplies AFL clubs at every level — from Saturday morning juniors through to AFL clubs including the Geelong Cats, Melbourne Demons, and Fremantle Dockers. This is the same board used in rooms at the top end of the game, made available to every grassroots club that wants to run a professional coaching environment without a professional budget.
📦 Included with the AFL Game Day Board
AFL Game Day Board 140cm × 120cm · magnetic whiteboard front with AFL oval stencil · wall-mountable aluminium frame · 35 jumbo magnetic name tags (25 white, 5 orange, 5 yellow — 125mm × 30mm) · 2 whiteboard markers with pen clips · clip-on pen tray
AFL clubs wanting a proper coaches board in the roomsEvery AFL club needs a coaches board in the changerooms. Scrawling on a whiteboard without the oval printed, pointing at a phone screen, or running a half-time talk without being able to show player positions — none of it cuts it. The Game Day Board gives your rooms a permanent, professional setup that's there every week.
Clubs that do pre-game and half-time team talks in a meeting roomThe board mounts on the wall and stays there — it's part of the room rather than something that comes out of a bag each week. Pre-game setup takes seconds. Players walk in and the board is ready. That professionalism sets the tone before anyone says a word.
Junior clubs investing in proper coaching toolsJunior coaching is where habits form. A club that runs structured half-time talks with a board, magnetic name tags, and clear positioning teaches junior coaches to coach properly — and teaches players to receive information that way. It's a small investment with a long-term benefit for the whole club.
Clubs replacing a worn-out or inadequate boardIf you've been making do with a plain whiteboard, an old printed poster, or nothing at all — this is the upgrade that immediately lifts the standard of your coaching environment. Once it's on the wall you'll wonder how you ran game day without it.
140cm × 120cm — big enough for the whole team to seeAt 140cm × 120cm the Game Day Board is visible from anywhere in a changeroom or meeting room. No squinting, no crowding around a small board — the whole squad can see the oval, the positions, and the play you're drawing up at once.
35 magnetic name tags — move players around the ground in real timeThe 35 jumbo name tags (125mm × 30mm) are big enough to write a player's name on and magnetic enough to stay where you put them on the board. Shift them around as you talk through rotations, set plays, or positional changes — every player can see exactly where they fit into the plan.
Magnetic whiteboard — draw plays and move tags on the same surfaceThe front surface is both a whiteboard and a magnetic board — you can draw movement lines and set pieces with a marker while the name tags sit in position on the oval. Wipe it clean between quarters and start fresh. The combination of written and magnetic is what makes it work in a fast-moving game day environment.
Wall-mountable aluminium frame — stays in the rooms permanentlyThe sturdy aluminium frame mounts clean on any wall. Once it's up it's part of the room — no setting up, no packing away, no leaving it behind. It's there every training night and every game day without anyone having to think about it.
Used by elite clubs and grassroots clubs alikeSportsboards supplies AFL clubs at every level — the Geelong Cats, Melbourne Demons, Fremantle Dockers, and hundreds of grassroots clubs across Australia. The Game Day Board is the same product regardless of who's buying it. Your under-18s deserve the same coaching tools as the seniors.
Also need a board for the bench?
The Game Day Board lives in the rooms. For the bench, the interchange, or drawing something up during a water break — pair it with the Sportsboards Large Coach's Whiteboard. One in the rooms, one on the boundary line.

How hard is it to mount on the wall?
The aluminium frame is designed for standard wall mounting — a couple of screws and it's up. Most clubs can install it in under 15 minutes with basic tools. If your changerooms have rendered or brick walls, you'll want the appropriate anchors for the surface.
Can I write on top of where the name tags are sitting?
Yes — the whole front surface is a whiteboard, including the areas where name tags sit. You can draw movement arrows or lines right across the board while the tags are in position. Wipe it clean between uses and the tags stay put.
Are replacement name tags available?
Yes — Sportsboards replacement magnetic name tags are available. If you need replacements or want additional tags, contact us on 1300 715 818 and we'll sort it out.
Is this board available for other sports?
This specific board is AFL only. For a portable coaching board in AFL, basketball, soccer, or cricket — or for a compact coaching folder — see the full Sportsboards range below.
How does this compare to the large portable coaching whiteboard?
The Game Day Board is designed to live on the wall of your changeroom or meeting room — it's permanent, large, and magnetic. The large portable coaching whiteboard is handheld — you take it to the bench, to training, or into a huddle. Most clubs use both — the Game Day Board in the rooms and the portable board on the boundary.
Can clubs buy multiple boards for different age groups?
Yes — adjust quantity at checkout. Clubs with multiple changerooms or multiple teams often put a board in each room. If you're buying several and want to discuss pricing, call us on 1300 715 818.
Orders are dispatched promptly — you'll receive tracking once your board leaves the warehouse. The Game Day Board ships flat and is straightforward to unpack and mount. If you need it before a specific round or season start, order early and let us know if timing is tight.
We deliver Australia-wide — metro, regional, and rural. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your location and order size.
Complete Your Coaching Setup
The Game Day Board handles the rooms. For the bench and boundary, the large portable coaching whiteboard gives you the same AFL oval in a handheld format you can take anywhere. And for everything in a single kit bag item, the Coach's Folder keeps a magnetic board and your notes together in one place.
