Custom Soccer Coaching Board Buying Guide
Custom soccer 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 training ground — all printed with your logo, your colors, and your name under a dry-erase surface, so you can draw up formations, set pieces, and pressing traps on the pitch you already know.
This guide walks through every type and size so you can pick the right board (or the right gift) for how you actually coach.
Why buy a custom coaching board instead of a generic one?
A generic clipboard from the sporting-goods aisle draws up the same build-up pattern a custom board does. What it doesn’t do is put your club’s identity in every water break and touchline talk. A custom soccer 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 club directors notice the details. And for assistant coaches, end-of-season awards, or a gift for the coach who ran every training session, a personalized coaching board is the rare gift that gets used every single match and 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 clubs) a board for the training ground:
Handheld boards & clipboards — from $69.99
The board that lives in your hands: touchline instructions, training teaching, and the classic coach gift. Sizes from the two-sided coaching board up to the 23″ × 18″ bench board.
Wall-mounted locker-room boards — from $187.99
A permanent, branded board for the changing room or coach’s office. Pre-match shape, scouting notes, and half-time adjustments on a board that screams your club.
Rolling magnetic whiteboards — from $1,399.00
The full-size training-ground board: double-sided, magnetic, on a rolling stand. Wheel it pitchside, teach the whole squad the press at once.
Pro whiteboard w/ handle — from $99.99
The two-sided pro board with a built-in handle — a full pitch on one side for build-up and transitions, an attacking third on the other for set pieces. The upgrade most head coaches carry.
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 Soccer Coaching Board
Two-sided with a carry handle — the board every player on the touchline 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 pitch on the front for build-up, transition, and pressing; attacking or defending third on the back for set pieces and corners. 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 club crest and team colors on the pitch, plus your name or title — not a stock template with a sticker.
On wall and rolling boards, magnets become your players — slide the back line, midfield, and pressing shape around instead of erasing and redrawing.
A roster grid or notes area keeps your starting XI, substitutions, and set-piece assignments in front of you instead of in your head.
Bench boards need a handle, clipboards need a strong clip, and training boards need wheels. Match the hardware to where the board lives.
Custom Pro Soccer Whiteboard w/ Handle
The two-sided pro board with a built-in handle — trusted by clubs at every level, from youth academies to varsity and college programs.
When does a wall-mounted locker-room board make sense?
If your pre-match shape is 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 pitch, your crest, and your colors are printed on the board; your scouting report and half-time adjustments go on top in marker.
The custom locker-room wall board comes in 24″ × 18″ and 36″ × 24″ starting at $187.99, 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 full changing-room teaching board, from $499.99.
Who should get a rolling magnetic whiteboard?
The rolling magnetic whiteboard is the training-ground teaching station: full-size, double-sided, magnetic, and on wheels. Roll it to the touchline, walk the whole squad through the press and the build-up, flip it over for the defensive shape, then wheel it back to the changing room for the pre-match talk.
Starting at $1,399.00, it’s a club purchase rather than a personal one — the kind of equipment athletic departments and academies budget for once and use for a decade. For high school, college, and club programs running multi-team sessions, 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 pitch on the front and a half pitch on the back — ideal for build-up and transitions on one side, set pieces and corners on the other.
Yes — upload your team, club, or school crest in the online designer and place it on the pitch. You’ll approve a final proof before it prints.
Start with the handheld board you’ll use every training session. Add a wall board when you want the changing room branded, and a rolling board when whole-squad 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 end of season, a promotion, or a title-winning campaign.
The 23″ × 18″ bench board. It’s sized so every player on the touchline can read the shape, and the carry handle makes it easy to grab in the technical area.
Both offer magnetic options — use magnets as players to walk through your formation, pressing shape, and set pieces without erasing your diagram.

Pick your board, drop in your crest, set your colors, and approve the proof — from the clipboard in your hand to the rolling board on your training ground.
