What is Coach Board?
Coach Board is an online tactic board for coaches. You plan sessions, draw plays and drills, animate them, and send them to your players in one link.
It runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop, covers 16 sports, and players don’t need an account to watch.
Make your players see the game like you do.
- Omar (7): I'll whip it in flat, near post.
- Sami (9): I start deep and flick it on.
- Theo (5): I'll stand on the keeper.
- Nico (10): I'll attack the six-yard box.
- Leo (11): I'll sit at the back stick.
- Jonas (8): Edge of the box, second ball?
- Kofi (6): I'll sit in and cover the counter.
Draw it the way you coach it.
Players, formations, equipment and movement for 16 sports, all on one board.
Set up the drill you’ll run.
Cones, discs, poles, hurdles, ladders, speed rings and goals, plus runs, passes, dribbles, screens and zones. Use the full pitch, half of it, or a grid sized to your drill, like a 10×10 rondo.

2-3TacticIntermediate · Basketball2-3 Zone Defense
Protect the lane and the defensive glass while shifting as a unit on every pass, so the offense is limited to contested perimeter jumpers taken late in the shot clock.

Why I built Coach Board
I played handball for years. My coaches had good plays, but they reached us on printed sheets, in long group texts, or as a photo of the whiteboard. By game day, half the team couldn’t find them. From the bench, you’d never know.
I’m a software engineer, so in 2021 I started building the board I wished my coaches had. Since then I’ve talked with dozens of coaches and read hundreds of their emails, feedback forms and reviews. Coach Board is built from what they asked for: draw the play, make it move, send it to every player’s phone.
