Show off your school pride with custom interior athletic record boards around the gym. Student-athletes love seeing their names displayed for all to see. Parents appreciate the opportunity to show off their student’s athletic record. We recently did an athletic achievement display for Gilbert Christian High School. Let’s take a closer look.
Case Study: Gilbert Christian High School
Gilbert Christian High School is a returning client. Earlier, we assisted the school with a budget-friendly scoreboard refurbishing in Gilbert. It restored the scoreboard’s good looks with the school’s color palette and upgraded vinyl lettering. For this latest project, we moved inside the gym.
The school has an extensive athletic program. The administration planned to honor the student-athletes of the Track and Field and Swim and Dive teams. These interior record boards feature the events the students participated in, along with the athlete’s name, year of achievement, and time.
This combination is an excellent tool for creating friendly competition among team members. Those not yet on the boards work harder to see their names in print on the gym wall. Athletes already on the board work hard to defend their times and even better them.
The School Record Board Guide for Excellent Athletic Achievement Displays
What goes into the design of interior athletic record boards? Which setup is ideally suited for the sports your school offers? Our team has compiled some ideas.
- From data to legacy display. The best school record boards display athletic achievements from several years. Doing so heightens the competition among team members of current and former teams. Consider featuring records, season highlights, or a hall-of-fame setup.
- Readability at a glance. Students want to see their names on the wall. A column format is clean, organized, and easy to read. Separate the sports teams into multiple displays of athletic achievement. That said, it is always a good idea to display the girls’ and boys’ team records side by side.
- Durable materials with built-in flexibility. The boards inside the gym may get hit by the occasional ball. Acrylic, PVC, or aluminum composites withstand the occasional impact. We recommend replaceable nameplates, slide-in track systems, or printed inserts that let you update the athletic boards over the years.
- School branding. Adding your school’s name and logo to the record boards boosts school pride and looks great in the background of team photos. Moreover, use the school’s colors whenever possible. Use lighter tones as backgrounds and darker tones to display the information in the foreground.
Interior Athletic Record Boards With a Wow Factor
Of course, you do not have to limit yourself to these design tips and tricks. If you want to add something that makes an impression, we recommend backlit panels or halo lighting. Integrating boards with wall graphics is another excellent way to impress everyone who enters the gym. By the way, why not add a QR code that lets interested parties learn more about the school’s athletic history?
