The Coaching Board Every Club Coach Needs on the Bench
The Sportsboards Large Coach's Whiteboard is the coaching board that turns a half-time talk into something players actually understand. At 36cm × 46cm it's big enough to draw up a clear formation and small enough to hold in one hand on the bench — double-sided, with your sport's playing field printed on the front and a blank whiteboard on the reverse for drills, notes, or anything else you need to get across quickly. Available for AFL, basketball, soccer, and cricket, or blank if your sport isn't listed or you want the flexibility to use it your way.
Sportsboards has been supplying coaching boards to Australian clubs for decades — trusted by grassroots junior clubs and elite AFL sides alike, including the Geelong Cats, Melbourne Demons, and Fremantle Dockers. This is the large version of their flagship coaching board, built to the same standard as the boards used at the top level, at a price that works for every club.

Large coaching board 36cm × 46cm · sport-specific field stencil on front (AFL, basketball, soccer, or cricket — or blank) · whiteboard surface on reverse · marker pen · eraser
Club coaches across all levels and sportsWhether you're coaching under-10s on a Saturday morning or running a senior side through finals prep, a coaching board is the clearest way to show players what you mean rather than just telling them. AFL, basketball, soccer, and cricket variants have the playing field already printed — you just pick up a marker and draw.
Coaches who need something portable and practical on game dayAt 36cm × 46cm the large board is big enough to be seen by a group of players in a huddle and small enough to hold in one hand or tuck under your arm between quarters. It goes in your kit bag, comes out when you need it, and goes back in when you don't.
Clubs buying in bulk for the whole coaching groupA coaching board for every coach on the staff means everyone's communicating the same way. Junior clubs often buy a set for the season — one per team — so every age group has the right tool regardless of who's coaching that week.
PE teachers and school sports coachesA coaching board in a PE lesson or school sport session makes it faster and clearer to set up drills, explain positioning, and keep a class or team engaged. The blank variant works across multiple sports without needing a separate board for each.
Coaches wanting an upgrade from a scrappy notepad or phone screenPointing at a phone screen in a huddle doesn't work. Drawing diagrams on a notepad looks amateur. A proper coaching board with the playing field already on it is a simple upgrade that makes every half-time talk and training session look and feel more professional.
Double-sided — field stencil on one side, blank whiteboard on the otherThe field-specific side is there when you need to draw up a play or show positioning in context. Flip it over and the blank whiteboard is there for drills, set plays, notes, or anything that doesn't need the field layout. Two boards in one.
Large enough to be seen in a group huddleAt 36cm × 46cm the large board gives you enough space to draw clearly and have it visible to a group of players gathered around you. The smaller coaching boards work for one-on-one or small groups — this one works for the whole team at once.
Write on, wipe off — built for repeated useThe whiteboard surface wipes clean between every use. Draw up a move, explain it, wipe it off, draw the next one. No paper, no waste, no running out of space mid-conversation.

What's the difference between the large board and the smaller coaching boards?
Size and visibility. The large board at 36cm × 46cm is designed to be seen by a full group of players gathered around you in a huddle or at half time. Smaller boards are better suited to one-on-one conversations or individual player instruction. If you're regularly addressing the whole team, the large board is the right choice.
Does the basketball board have a full court and a half court?
Yes — the basketball variant has a full court stencil on one side and a half court on the reverse, giving you the right layout for both game day tactics and training drills without needing two separate boards.
Can I use normal whiteboard markers on it?
Yes — standard whiteboard markers work on the board surface. A marker and eraser are included with every board. Avoid permanent markers as they won't wipe off cleanly.
My sport isn't listed — should I get the blank?
Yes. The blank variant has a plain whiteboard on both sides — you can draw whatever layout you need from scratch each time. It's also a good choice for multi-sport coaches or anyone who wants complete flexibility on both sides of the board.
How does this compare to the AFL Game Day Board?
The large coaching whiteboard is portable — you hold it in your hand on the bench or in a huddle. The AFL Game Day Board is a large wall-mounted board (140cm × 120cm) designed for the changeroom or meeting room — it stays on the wall and the whole team gathers around it. Many clubs use both — the game day board in the rooms and the portable board on the bench.
Can I buy multiple boards for the whole coaching group?
Yes — just adjust the quantity at checkout. Many clubs buy a board per team or per coach at the start of each season. If you're buying in larger quantities and want to discuss a bulk order, call us on 1300 715 818.
Orders are dispatched quickly — you'll receive tracking as soon as your board leaves the warehouse. If you need boards for a specific date — a season start, a training camp, or a club presentation night — 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 large coaching board is the right tool for the bench and the training paddock. For your changeroom or meeting room, the AFL Game Day Board gives you a full wall-mounted setup with magnetic name tags for player positioning. And if you want everything in one compact kit bag item, the Coach's Folder fits an A4 magnetic board and all your notes in a single package.
