Custom Lacrosse Coaching Board Buying Guide
Custom lacrosse coaching boards run from a two-sided clipboard in your hand to a wall-mounted locker-room board to a full-size rolling magnetic whiteboard on the practice field — all printed with your logo, your colors, and your name under a dry-erase surface.
This guide walks through every type and size so you can pick the right board (or the right gift) for how you actually coach — rides, clears, settled offense, and man-up looks included.
Why buy a custom coaching board instead of a generic one?
A generic clipboard from the sporting-goods aisle draws up the same clear a custom board does. What it doesn’t do is put your program’s identity in every timeout. A custom lacrosse coaching board carries your team’s logo, colors, and your name on the board itself — printed permanently, so it never wipes away with the play.
That matters more than it sounds. Players take the huddle more seriously when the board looks official. Parents and recruits notice the details. And for assistant coaches, senior-night gifts, or end-of-season awards, a personalized coach clipboard is the rare gift that gets used every single practice.
Which type of coaching board do you need?
Custom boards come in three families. Most coaches end up with more than one — a board for their hands, a board for their room, and (for bigger programs) a board for the practice field:
Handheld boards & clipboards — from $69.99
The board that lives in your hands: timeouts, practice teaching, and the classic coach gift. Sizes from the two-sided clipboard up to the 23″ × 18″ bench board.
Wall-mounted locker-room boards — from $169.99
A permanent, branded board for the locker room or coach’s office. Pre-game keys, scouting notes, and halftime adjustments on a board that screams your program.
Rolling magnetic whiteboards — from $1,399.00
The full-size practice-field board: double-sided, magnetic, on a rolling stand. Wheel it sideline-side, teach the whole team at once.
Bench boards — from $129.99
The big 23″ × 18″ sideline board with a carry handle — sized so the whole bench reads the clear or the man-up set in one look.
What size handheld board do you need?
For the board in your hands, size should follow how you actually coach. Here’s how the handheld options break down:
23″ × 18″ Custom Lacrosse Coaching Board
Two-sided with a carry handle — the board every player in the huddle can actually read.
What features should you look for?
Once you’ve picked a type, these are the features that separate a board you tolerate from a board you coach better with:
Full field on the front for rides, clears, and transition; settled offense or a half field on the back for man-up and man-down sets. One board, every situation.
Draws clean, erases clean, over and over. The printed design sits under the erasable layer, so wiping the play never wipes your logo.
The whole point of custom. Your actual team logo and school colors on the field, plus your name or title — not a stock template with a sticker.
On wall and rolling boards, magnets become your players — slide matchups, the ride, and EMO alignments around instead of erasing and redrawing.
A roster grid or notes area keeps face-off pairings, matchups, and timeout reminders in front of you instead of in your head.
Bench boards need a handle, clipboards need a strong clip, and practice boards need wheels. Match the hardware to where the board lives.
Custom Pro Lacrosse Whiteboard w/ Handle
The two-sided pro board with a built-in handle — trusted by programs at every level, from youth clubs to college sidelines.
When does a wall-mounted locker-room board make sense?
If your pre-game keys are living on a bare whiteboard from an office-supply store, a custom wall board is the upgrade players notice the day it goes up. Your field, your logo, and your colors are printed on the board; your scouting report and halftime adjustments go on top in marker.
The custom locker-room wall board comes in 24″ × 18″ and 36″ × 24″ starting at $169.99, with options for a marker tray and magnetic surface. Need something closer to a full teaching wall? The large wall-mounted magnetic board is the bigger, fully magnetic option, from $499.99.
Who should get a rolling magnetic whiteboard?
The rolling magnetic whiteboard is the practice-field teaching station: double-sided, magnetic, and on wheels. Roll it to the end line, walk the whole roster through the ride and clear, flip it over for the settled defense, then wheel it back to the locker room for the pre-game talk.
Starting at $1,399.00, it’s a program purchase rather than a personal one — the kind of equipment athletic departments budget for once and use for a decade. For high school and college programs running multi-team practices, it replaces the "everyone crowd around the little clipboard" huddle entirely.
How does designing a custom board online work?
You don’t need design skills or a back-and-forth email chain with a print shop. The online designer walks you through it in a few minutes:

No. Your logo, colors, and text are printed beneath the dry-erase surface. You draw and erase on top of the design, never through it.
Typically a full field on the front for rides, clears, and transition, and settled offense or a half field on the back — some styles add a lineup grid or notes area for face-off pairings and matchups.
Yes — upload your team, school, or club logo in the online designer and place it on the field. You’ll approve a final proof before it prints.
Start with the handheld board you’ll use every practice. Add a wall board when you want the locker room branded, and a rolling board when whole-team teaching outgrows the clipboard.
They’re one of the few coach gifts that get used daily. Add the coach’s name and a message for senior night, end of season, or a milestone win.
The 23″ × 18″ bench board. It’s sized so every player in the huddle can read the play, and the carry handle makes it easy to grab on the sideline.
Both offer magnetic options — use magnets as players to walk through the ride, matchups, and man-up alignments without erasing your diagram.
Design a Board Your Huddle Takes Seriously
Pick your board, drop in your logo, set your colors, and approve the proof — from the clipboard in your hand to the rolling board on your practice field.
