"Additionally it has a larger half court, albeit with distance perspective, on the back for drawing up out-of-bounds-plays in the huddle."
"My mother in law bought me a different clip board that is a regular size, has a built in place to clip the marker, and has a plastic cover on the back to keep you from erasing your notes by accident."
"My only real complaint is that the light blue you see in the picture is actually a turquoise color and that really bothers me."
"No complaints on this board, it’s large but I knew that based on specs."
"Also the clipboard is strong enough to hold whatever papers you want and will not come out if you fold them over to use the whiteboard."
"Another nice touch; the clipboard comes packaged in a reusable large zip-lock bag so you can carry other items in them while keeping them secure."
"The board is durable and has a half court on the backside along with a chart you can use for match-ups or dividing your team up as far as subs goes."

Find Best Price at Amazon"What I like about it is that it is all magnetic, which allows me to move the players around each inning. The only negative of this board is that the magnets can fall off if someone violently hits or shakes the dugout fencing that the board is attached to (this has certainly happened, but you can usually find all the magnets on the ground right below the board). Another solution (just figure that you WILL lose some magnets no matter what) is to go to Michael's or some craft store and buy a strip of magnets (they will probably come in a circular roll--just get some that are the same width, maybe 1/2 inch). When you lose one, just cut off a replacement from the circular roll, write the player's name on a piece of paper, and then peel off the waxy paper on the magnet and affix the paper on the sticky side of the magnet."
"I'm tempted to buy some small neodymium magnets and gluing them on board... hopefully the slight weakness is from the magnetic strips and not the board itself."
"My husband coaches girls slow pitch softball and this was an absolute great item. The girls can quickly and easily glance at it and know exactly what to do and where to be. 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)."
"I purchased this board because it was the same exact one that I previously had. So I ordered this board to use for my weekly games of softball with my co-workers in a league."
"My opinion is if the magnets were stronger this would be amazing product but because they are not I'm only going to read it two stars it is a hassle to try to keep all the magnets on the board both during games and transportation to and from games."

"I bought this Megaphone/bullhorn for our neighbor at our RV Park but had to return it for a replacement as the hinge on the battery compartment was broken.....I returned it and received a new one promptly...my neighbor has had a good time with it as people go by and has used it in out Golf Cart Poker Run."
"Nice bull horn for the price."
"Great little Megaphone!"
"Pros: -Lightweight and easy to transport. -Great battery life. -Siren feature that gets kids' attention pretty well. -A "Music" feature that only plays the "Fur Elise" that DEFINITELY gets kids' attention. Yes, it does make your voice louder than your normal speaking voice, but it's still not loud enough to get anyone's attention."
