Coaching Whiteboards

[Burdon]

Hey,

I am after a new good quality whiteboard will buy local or overseas anyone got any info to help.

Thanks

Most association pro shops have them. Where is local?

I've managed to get by for a few years with a 99c folder containing A4 plastic sleeves. I've got multiple court print outs so I can flick between pages if I need to. I have a blank Australian court gif if anyone wants it.

I'm still looking to get a magnetic one myself, but haven't got around to it.

if you've ever played for a coach with a magnetic playboard, you wouldn't use one. The problem is that the players don't have a chance to review their instructions once the coach has shifted the magnets. Nothing is worse than being in a time-out and you can't go back and see how your movements fit the progress to the final stages of the play. And there's no time to ask the coach for a repeat magnet performance.

Xs and Os on a whiteboard are as good as it gets - and you get to scribble really hard in the one spot to emphasise a point! :lol:

I have a magnetic one......which i tend to not use the magnets on for the above reason. It's also a bit bloody heavy to throw on the floor in disgust......... :wink:

Yeah, I don't think I'd use it in a timeout. I think the magnets would be handy to demonstrate how the defense looks across the court, especially zones.

It's a lot easier to see how the diamond press works if you show the players all moving together. Also, it would be good to show how overloading works with a zone offense. I can't bring myself to paying $40+ dollars for a peice of white painted steel though. :) My 99c version has served me well so far.

The one on this page is good because it keeps all your coaching stuff together in one place......and it has a handle. :?

Hoop 2 Hoop gave one to all the Premier League coaches at the association I was coaching at last year, and they all seemed to like them. I personally prefer an A3 format board, that way I've got enough room for all of my manic doodling and it's big enough for the players at the end of the bench to see.

I got one from Hart Sports, but really dislike it as the pen I use does not come off from the coloured keyway areas (rubs off fine from the rest of the board, just not the key)...so no more post exchanges :(
