My game day brain, that I can change as quickly as I need!

I LOVE this board. As the dugout mom it lets me keep track of my batting order by pushing out the magnet of the player that is next at bat. I don't have to use clothes pins on the fence, or carry a paper and a pencil to keep my batting order current. I can also make player adjusts in the field up top as the coaches modify positions when we take the field. I haven't used the dry erase feature to keep track of stats, I probably won't. I ordered another full set of magnets "just in case" I lost a few, I haven't lost any yet. I used a standard Brother brand label maker to print the player names. The tape in the label maker is laminated and I don't have any issues with the names getting messed up. This will help if you are trying to lose the paper and clip boards!

Saves time and looks great

Overall it's a great tool to use! Very easy with the magnetic name tags. It took a minute to figure out what size to print (I used Excel and set column width to 1.45" and row height to .45" with font at 14 centered and justified). I wish they would provide a layout for this on their website... Regardless, it was fairly easy to figure out and still a 5 star product. Last

Great Coaching Helper

This has been a great tool for coaching rec ball. I have been coaching rec ball for over five years and this is the best organizer I have had for batting order and field position. I only had a magnet fall off once (I used it for one full season). I do keep it in a large Ziploc bag to prevent from losing magnets during transport. I am getting ready to get it set up for its second season of use. The key benefits are: 1) Very flexible, easy to change lineup or field positions when kids do not show up, get sick, hurt, etc. Also good for mixing things up base don how the game is going. 2) Easy to play around with fielding positions to come up with strategies for player positions. 3) Being able to slide the next batter slightly to the left so kids know where we are at in the lineup when we come in to bat.

This board was a game changer for me this Fall ...

This board was a game changer for me this Fall. It helped me be more organized and less stressed about what had to happen each inning. I would print out the lineup ahead of time and hand it to the dugout coach. I never had to worry about it again, which really freed up my time for other coaching duties. My biggest recommendation is that you find a large ziplock bag to hold it in when it's not in use or you will lose the magnetic pieces over time.

Play ball

This is a MUST HAVE for a ball coach. My husband coaches girls slow pitch softball and this was an absolute great item. I have actually purchased two of these because the first one came up missing (the hubby lost it). The magnets are great and I have purchased additional of these just to have on hand. I recommend making sure that you use a sturdy paper when making the name pieces for the magnets. It is nice that you don't have to waste a piece of paper every game for a line-up or positions. The girls can quickly and easily glance at it and know exactly what to do and where to be. If anything needs to change, just a quick shift of a magnet and you’re done. Make sure that you clip this board in a place where players won’t brush up against it. If they do, you could lose a magnet or so and then you have to search and find. The marker that comes with it is a piece of junk. It is supposed to be a dry erase marker and leave no residue. It’s wrong. Once you write on the board, I feel that the sun/heat bake it on and then it won’t come off. We wrote on it with the enclosed marker and after just one ball game, it wouldn’t come off. The marker then went into the trash. It really isn’t a necessity though because the magnets do the job. It does seem a little pricey in the beginning, but I feel you get your money out of it. When storing it in a bag, make sure to keep it flat or it will curve the inner cardboard (learned this from the first purchase).

Plan time - play time!

I had my doubts beforehand but this has been an awesome tool and teaching device. The coaches love it and so do the kids, very easy and fast to layout lineup and positions, no more scratching out multiple sheets of paper and missing a player in the process. Has made my coaching life a little easier, can't imagine game time without this board. I have not experienced any problems with the magnets to this point other than the kids offering to "help" with the movement of the pieces - lol.

GREAT FOR DUG OUT

This is my second year as team/dug out mom. I've had AA & AAA teams. I LOVE this board. I eventually ditched the magnets, while they worked great (as pictured), I was just bad at keeping track of them (my own flaw, lol) and chose to start using the dry erase marker. Erases with ease as positions and sitters flip flop between innings. Can easily be unhooked & handed to coach if needed. The board has held up all season (sturdy) and is ready for the next. The boys love it, they love helping keep it in order. Much better than my DIY chart from last season, lol. I've seen negative reviews, but honestly, so long as you properly take care of it, it works great and is well worth it! It comes with the clip, the labels (you just have to cut them), the marker, and magnets. Highly Recommend.

Coaches of little league a MUST

If your like every little league I have ever coached for, you have kids showing up late, or not at all. Sick and tired of having to constantly erase and recreate my lineup as kids show up or don't. This allows me to easily slide batting orders around, and create line ups, fast and easy. Kid doesn't show, slide the name off the board. easy to change field positions in a pinch, and allows you to make changes so kids can just look at board to see where they play and bat. For me, I scanned in the name sheet that came with it, edit with PAINT on my computer, inserting the kids names, printed it out, and taped it with clear packing tape to make it rain proof. Cut it out and slide it in perfect...rain proof lineup card. only down side is, kids like playing with the lineups :( and tough wind shook the board and some magnets fell off it. Other than that...perfect coaching tool

A must have for a coach

The absolute best friend of a baseball or softball coach. For a recreation team it makes substituting players so much easier. I would have a game plan for the subs worked out prior to the game and then a player would not show up. No problem with the board, its easy to shift the players based on who is there and available. For travel ball it is equally valuable. Being able to slide players in and out of the batting line up when batting 9 helps keep everyone straight. Players know who they subbed in for and when they are batting. This board allows the coach to focus on the game and not answering questions about positions or batting line ups. The board works very well, but be very careful not to get it wet because the bottom of the board is not sealed. I recommend sealing it with some clear packing tape because it will eventually rain and once the board is close to moisture it shrivels and then the magnets will not stay on the board reliably. Buy extra magnets if you are coaching youth, the seem to disappear on occasion.

I love it

I Have no issues with this board. Some are complaining about the magnets falling off, yes if you just throw the board in your coaches bag, you're gonna knock them off. Under normal use the magnets hold just fine. Keep the magnets in a zip lock bag till game time and you will have no problems!
