Sports grounds
LED signs and scoreboards for sports grounds
Show sponsor ads, club news and the score on LED screens and signs that volunteers run from a phone or tablet. We design and build sponsor screens, entry signs and scoreboards at our Welshpool workshop, and our own team installs them at grounds across Perth, WA and the rest of Australia.
Clubs and grounds
Who these signs suit
- football, cricket, soccer, rugby and hockey clubs
- netball and basketball clubs and indoor courts
- councils that manage ovals, courts and recreation centres
- schools with ovals and courts
What clubs show
On a sponsor screen or a sign at the ground:
- sponsor logos, ads and short videos at every break
- club news: “Junior registrations now open” or “Presentation night Saturday 7pm”
- game day details: “Seniors bounce 2.10pm” or “Canteen open: pies, coffee and hot chips”
- movie nights and social events
- parking and entry directions on carnival days
On the scoreboard:
- scores, the game clock and the quarter or period
- team logos and an end of game summary on a full colour board
Which sign suits your ground
Sponsor and video screens
A full colour LED screen shows photos, logos and video. Sponsors get a spot at every break, and the club can use the same screen for movie nights. At up to 10,000 nits, our FA2 outdoor screens are bright enough for photos and video in direct sun, and they are sealed to IP68 against dust and rain. See full colour LED screens and video walls.
Entry and clubroom signs
An LED sign at the gate or on the clubroom tells passing traffic about registrations, functions and game times all year. Inside, an indoor display shows events and sponsors in the clubroom. See outdoor LED signs and indoor LED displays.
Scoreboards
- Portable scoreboards roll out for game day and pack away after.
- Trailer scoreboards suit clubs that share grounds or move between venues.
- Built-in scoreboards stay up all season and can be much bigger.
Single colour boards show clear red scores and messages at a lower cost. Full colour boards add team logos and sponsor ads during breaks. See electronic and LED scoreboards.
Size and reading distance
Our pixel pitch planner shows how a sign or scoreboard looks at each pitch, and a larger pitch, such as P10, suits a board read from across the ground. Across a ground, the size of the numbers matters as much as the pitch.
Running it on game day
Screens and signs change from a phone, tablet or laptop, and you can schedule sponsor ads and notices by time of day. For scoring there are two options.
- Basic, the iCatcher Scoreboard app. Score from an iPhone, iPad or Android phone, run the clock and show up to 8 ads per upload. Ten sports are built in: AFL, soccer, cricket, rugby, hockey, basketball, netball, volleyball, futsal and water polo, with a shot clock for basketball and hockey. Sign Mode turns the board into a sign for your own messages, and the app works with single colour and full colour boards.
- Advanced, Olympyx. It comes installed on the scoreboard and runs in a web browser on a tablet, phone or laptop. Nine sports are built in, plus a general mode for virtually any other game. The siren sounds by itself at 0:00 for 4 to 15 seconds and the next quarter loads. It runs its own Wi-Fi network, so the ground needs no internet, and it boots straight to the scoreboard and loses nothing in a power cut. It also shows team logos and sponsor videos, mirrors a laptop and runs movie nights.
Approvals
A built-in screen or an entry sign that faces a road may need council approval, and Main Roads WA may need to see it if the ground is beside a main road. Our help with the application costs nothing extra. Read our council approval guide.

Hire or buy
Hire or buy
Hire LED signs for carnival parking, club days and fundraisers. Solar trailer signs need no power at the ground, and we deliver hire signs anywhere in Australia, often on the same day in Perth. See LED sign hire.
For a carnival or a tournament, we hire out portable scoreboards across Perth and WA. See scoreboard hire.
When you buy, sirens are supplied and installed, and training for your volunteers is included. Ledge Finance can fund up to 100% of the board, so the club keeps its working capital, and warranties run from 1 to 5 years, depending on the product. Read should you buy or hire an LED scoreboard.
