Custom record boards can be used in a number of ways by athletic departments across the country. They can be used to celebrate the tradition that a program has as well as fuel the success and drive of current athletes. Most every school in America has a history and a tradition of prior success that they want to recognize and remember. At the same time, those schools also want to recognize and motivate the current athletes to set a new standard of excellence.
In addition to record boards, other custom boards provide the opportunity to recognize prior and current accomplishments in a consistent and appealing way. We have identified ten different and creative ways that athletic departments across the country are using custom boards to celebrate their tradition as well as fuel the success for the current and future student-athletes.
