  2. Team Sports Book Ideas:

    Follow a team's full season

    Create a unique cover for each team member and the coach for a book chronicling the team’s season

    Showcase your child’s career

    Focus on a specific timeframe - such as high school - and share all of the sport's experiences of an individual or team.

  3. What pictures should you remember to take?

    Sure, you’ve got some great photos of game play, but you’ll want to be sure to capture the entire sports experience. Consider planning a few minutes to capture the following photographs:

    Get some shots of the details. For example, uniforms, protective gear (shin guards, mouthpieces, helmets), jersey “number,” crowd, cheerleaders, the field, the scoring area (goal posts, net, etc.), and any other sports equipment (golf bag, flag, ball, bat, etc.).

    Capture the interactions with the coach and the team—for example, time outs and pre- and post- game pep talks!

    If the book is based on the sport through the years, include height differences/comparisons all on one page.

    Chronicle Pre-game warm ups and practices.

    Get some close-up “action” shots. For example, crop in on the athlete’s feet or hands as your athlete is participating. (A telephoto lens would work great here, or you can “pose” a similar shot.)

  4. What should you remember to write about?

    Although your pictures will probably be the stars of your photo book, you’ll want to include a few words to round out the story. Below are some ideas starters to help you fill in the blanks.

    What’s involved before the season starts? For example, highlight events such as practice, tryouts, buying uniforms, fees, etc.

    Prepare an overview of the season or time period in the book from the perspective of either the athlete or the parent.

    Capture the coach’s thoughts on the athlete.

    Include Stats such as on the right page.

    Share ”inside„ stories, for example, is there a story behind ”the number„ they always have to have?

    Scan in newspaper articles or awards. By saving these items in .jpg format, you can put them in place of any photo in the book.

    Document the final scores of each game.

    Highlight the big plays, pivotal changing points, and any other ”turning points.„

    Share any obstacles that the athlete overcame.
