About Vizzionboard | Soccer Coaching Tools Built by Coaches
Our Story

Built by a coach.
For coaches.

Vizzionboard exists because coaches deserve a tool that actually shows their players what they’re trying to teach. Not an approximation. Not a generic whiteboard with some lines drawn on it. The real thing — to true proportional scale.

Where it
started.

Every tactics board we tried said the same things without meaning them. The zones were wrong. The proportions were off. When you pointed to the “half-space” on the board, it didn’t look anything like the half-space on the pitch. Players nodded — but they weren’t seeing what we were seeing.

The board should show what the pitch actually looks like.
Not an approximation of it.

That gap — between what a coach draws and what a player sees on the pitch — is where player development gets lost. Concepts stay abstract. Language stays disconnected. Players react to instructions instead of reading the game for themselves.

Vizzionboard was built to close that gap. Every zone — the horizontal thirds, the central corridors, the wide spaces, the half-spaces — is drawn to true proportional scale. When a coach points to a zone, it looks like the real zone. The connection between the board and the pitch is immediate.

That’s not a design detail. That’s the entire point.

Space
Equals
Time.

This is the principle at the core of everything Vizzionboard is built around. Space has two characteristics — Position and Direction. Time has two characteristics — Moment and Speed. When players understand space, they understand time. And when they understand time, they can read the game.

Game Tactical Principles

How players communicate within the game

Position, Moment, Direction, Speed — the four-part framework players use to read situations and communicate their intentions on the pitch. The coach teaches the principles. The player executes them.

Game Insight Principles

How players make decisions on the pitch

As close to the opposing goal as possible. As early as possible. As direct as possible. As fast as possible. Four principles that give players an objective framework for decision-making — so coaching stops being opinion and starts being clarity.

Football Technique Principles

How players execute actions physically

Centre of gravity forward. On the toes. Standing foot toward the progress option. Flying start. The body mechanics that support decision-making — the physical platform from which the Tactical and Insight Principles are expressed.

The Result

Players who coach themselves

When the board shows the real pitch and the principles give players a shared language, something shifts. Players stop waiting for instructions and start reading the game. That’s the goal. That’s always been the goal.

What makes it
different.

01

US Design Patent — The Only One

Vizzionboard holds a US Design Patent on its field display. No other dual-sided tactics board has this. The patent recognises the proportional accuracy of the zone layout — because there’s nothing else like it.

02

True Proportional Scale

Every zone is drawn to match the actual proportional dimensions of a football pitch. The half-spaces look like half-spaces. The thirds look like thirds. What coaches draw on the board reflects what players see on the pitch.

03

Dual-Sided — Full Pitch + Half Pitch

Side A is the full 11v11 pitch for game model and team shape conversations. Side B is the half-pitch for unit sessions, set pieces, and phase play. One board — every coaching need.

04

23 Magnets + Dry Erase Combined

Numbered positional magnets for both teams. A dry erase marker for drawing runs and patterns directly on the surface. Use both in the same session. Nothing gets left behind — everything fits in the carry bag.

05

Designed for Club-Wide Use

Volume pricing starts at 10 boards. Because the biggest impact comes when every coach in a club uses the same board, the same zones, and the same language — from the U9s to the first team.

06

Built in San Diego. Shipped Across the US.

Vizzionboard is available to coaches across the United States. Standard delivery is 4–7 business days. Every board ships complete and ready for the next session.

Founder & Coach
Founder Mark Crawford

Mark Crawford is a soccer coach and the founder of Vizzionboard — based in San Diego, California. Vizzionboard was built because the tools available to coaches didn’t match the standard coaches were trying to hold themselves to.

The board came out of a simple frustration: pointing to a zone on a tactics board and knowing your players weren’t seeing what you were seeing. The proportions were wrong. The zones were approximate. The connection to the real pitch was missing.

So we built the board we actually needed — to true proportional scale, with a US Design Patent to prove it’s unlike anything else out there. Vizzionboard is the player development solution for coaches who refuse to approximate.

Give every coach a board
that shows the game
as it actually is.

We believe player development compounds. A player who learns the half-space at U10 from a board that shows it accurately will carry that understanding through every level of the game. A player who learns it from an approximation carries a slightly wrong picture — and that picture gets harder to correct over time.

Vizzionboard is for coaches who take that seriously. Who want the board on the sideline to show exactly what the pitch shows. Who want every player on their squad — and every coach in their club — working from the same accurate, proportional reference point.

That’s what we built. That’s what the US Design Patent recognises. And that’s what the coaches who use Vizzionboard keep telling us makes the difference.
