BAD Sports offers a selection of products that can be used by coaching staff to enrich the delivery of coaching.

Our A1 FULL RUGBY PITCH flip-charts have the full pitch markings pre-printed on to the flip-chart pages. These bespoke, 30 sheet A1 flip-charts have a number of advantages over other presentation methods such as dry-wipe boards and multimedia. They:

are designed to be used with standard flip-chart stands with pre-punched holes and gummed top edge for easy tear-off;
contain a FULL pitch to allow areas to be zoned off;
are timesaving – no need to spend time drawing the pitch, just grab the flipchart and go;
are reactionary – if your on the pitch with the players and you need to demonstrate a move, just jog over to the chart;
are marked with bold black lines, designed to ease visual presentation to larger groups;
are blank on the rear 15 sheets for when a plain sheet is required;
are easily transportable and can be taken anywhere: pitch-side or indoors;
can be kept indefinitely and referred back to later once a game plan or move is on the sheet;
can be scanned to make up play books for players to learn in their own time;
gives your coaching session a more professional nature than a poorly drawn flip-chart;
save you the significant time that would otherwise be taken in drawing the pitch markings by hand.

FULL RUGBY PITCH flipcharts have been developed as a result of demand from rugby coaching professionals to improve the quality of their presentations to players, coaches, trainees and Committees alike. They have been designed in consultation with RFU Representatives and leading Professional Coaches from International, Premiership and Celtic League teams.

FULL RUGBY PITCH flipcharts are designed by Dai Fussell, who is a RFU Level 3 Coach and RFU Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach. Dai currently works for London Wasps Community Coaching Team.

BADpad Rugby flip-charts are used by Shaun Edwards – Head Coach London Wasps, Wales and British Lions also by Brian Ashton, Head coach at Bath, ex-England head coach. BADpad Rugby flip-charts help them organise their coaching and tactical talks for forthcoming games and post match analysis.

“I find using BADpad Rugby flip-charts are an invaluable aid to my coaching needs. By using a BADpad flip-chart, I can concentrate and focus on what I want to say rather than having to stop and draw a pitch every time I want to explain something.” – Shaun Edwards.

” I have used the flip chart pads to great effect recently. Easy to carry and very useful to use in an impromptu and efficient manner when an idea occurs that requires an ” ON – PITCH ” illustration. Especially handy as ” Flip over charts ” showing the development of Attacking or Defensive scenarios , I can highly recommend their use. ” – Brian Ashton
