A record board display you can update the night a record falls
Painted and vinyl record boards fall behind as soon as a record is broken, and fixing them means a sign shop order. A digital record board display keeps every event, holder and date current, and visitors can tap through to the athlete behind the mark.

Why it matters
Record boards go out of date the day a record falls
A new school record is a big moment, but the old board keeps showing the previous name until someone pays to change it. Boards also run out of rows for new events, relay teams and separate girls’ and boys’ divisions. Coaches end up keeping the real list in a spreadsheet.
Ideas for Record Board Display
Records by sport and event
Organize records by sport, then by event, with the holder, mark and year on every row.
Previous record holders
Keep the names a record replaced, so earlier athletes are still part of the story when they come back to visit.
Relay and team records
List every member of a relay team or record-setting season roster, not just a team name.
Athlete profiles behind each mark
Link each record to a profile with a photo and the meet or game where it happened.
Records outside athletics
Include marks your school tracks in activities, such as quiz bowl or band competition results.
This season’s new records
Highlight records broken this year so students passing the board see what their classmates just did.
How it works with Hardware
Record Board Display, step by step.
Three steps
Match the board to the wall
Choose a wall-mounted bundle sized for the hallway or gym lobby where the old board hangs, or ask us to check if your current screen can be reused.
Send your record sheets
Share your coaches’ record lists in whatever form they exist. Complimentary data entry and the bulk upload tool turn them into a structured board.
Update records as they fall
After launch, a coach or athletic director edits the record in Rocket’s editor. Granular staff permissions control who can make changes.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.
Best practices
Tips to get it right.
Record Board Display tips
Verify marks before publishing
Check each record against meet results or scorebooks before it goes live. A public board invites corrections from alumni.
Agree on what counts as a record
Decide with coaches whether indoor and outdoor marks are tracked separately and how ties are handled.
Give each sport one editor
Let each head coach update their own sport’s records, with the athletic director reviewing changes.
Put it where athletes gather
A spot outside the locker rooms or near the weight room keeps records in front of the people chasing them.
