With the explosion of summer camps that focus on sports, a child now has the opportunity to spend some time away from home and hone their skills. Years ago these summer sports camps were more about the camping and less about the sports, but times have changed. These modern summer sports camps have very focused and intense programs to help the campers master a sport in a very short time. Along with these programs comes actual games that are played daily between the campers to apply the skills they are developing. As a result, many of these camps have built very nice fields and arenas for these sporting events and even installed electronic scoreboards to complete the picture.

Having an official field to practice on really gives the campers a good feel for the game. They get to challenge other teams made up of campers that are in some of the same programs they are attending that week and see how they are improving. Having the electronic scoreboards installed allows these games to be scored just like a real game and helps complete the illusion for the players. Also, many times the parents are invited to these games as well, and having the electronic scoreboards allows them to follow the game.

Some of these electronic scoreboards are specific to the field they are installed on and others are multi-sport scoreboards. Most of the summer sports camps will rotate the sports that they offer over several weeks and will have the need to be able to use the electronic scoreboards for multiple sports. The good news is that there are quite a few models of scoreboard that can be used for several sports and this saves the camp a lot of money by using a single scoreboard. These multi-sport scoreboards can be easily configured for a specific sport by either changing out a label on the digits, or using a text LED panel above the digits as a label.

These electronic scoreboards include some of the latest innovations in digital scoring and make it easy for the teams and the fans to keep track of the game. They feature super bright LED segments for the scoring and these provide a very clear view of the score even in the brightest of sunlight. These LED’s are also more durable than the older incandescent bulbs and will use less power as well. These are both good features for most camps and allow the coaches to spend more time with the campers working on their skills and less time worrying about the equipment.

These modern electronic scoreboards are also easier to use and feature wireless controllers. This allows the score and other details of the game to be updated from across the field and eliminates the need to run a cable between the control unit and the control box.

There are also models of portable electronics scoreboards that many summer sports camps use. These are easy to setup and can be moved to any field to keep score for a number of different races and sporting events.
