Sports Whiteboard App

When coaching, it’s always helpful to visually explain to players what’s expected. Using a whiteboard, you can illustrate set plays, formations, drills, etc. However, whiteboards are usually big, take up space in your bag, cost money, and you can never seem to find the pen! Since a mobile phone is something you probably have with you all the time nowadays, why not use it as your whiteboard!

We developed a Sports Whiteboard web application using p5. The entire screen is a canvas allowing you to drag and drop objects and draw lines to illustrate anything you’d like!

Awesome! Really cool. Keep it up 👍

I noticed a small bug that when you press just once it doesn't draw anything. You need to press and drag your mouse if you want to draw. I'll open a GitHub issue for this 😄

Great app! Would appreciate if it comes with preset floor/field layout for common sports (basketball/soccer etc). Which may also be blank. Will open a feature request.

I had been working on a different version that would provide different sports fields that you could choose from. May need to resurrect that!
