I was wondering if any of you knew where I could buy something to attach my call sheet to my belt? I saw something on TV that most coaches were wearing. It is a longer cord that hangs from the belt to around the knees.

Buy an id card laynard. Get them at walmart (office max, etc.) in the office supplies section. It clips to your belt. Use a hole-punch to punch a hole in the playsheet. Then attached the playsheet to the id card laynard.
The playsheet will stay at yor belt and won't flop around. Just pull the playsheet up and the laynard has a cord that comes out and then when you let go it automatically retracts to your belt.
A pact of 5 is like $1-$3.

things like this have worked for us in the past:  but, what i have found to be the best is the "retractable key chain" where the ring is attached to a retractable chain. when standing, the chain is fully withdrawn, making the play sheet hang on the hip. but, you can grab the sheet and pull it out to read it. then, when let go the key chain retracts.  |

The id card laynard is like the retractable key chain.

I swear by the retractable key chain - have been using one for about five years. Tried the clips in Huey's first picture - hung too low, flopped around too much and always got tangled up in itself.

Where can you get one of those retractable key chains?

Cracker18 - I get mine at either Menard's or Home Depot. I would guess you could get one at most hardware stores.

Back in the "day" we used the old "shoe lace" to tie it on. Didn't get tangled up on itself but did get tangled up on the leg.

Tribe, long time, no talk. You have to remember that I had to coach you pisants over 20 years ago, when I was young and excitable. I am extraordinarily even-keeled in my old age.
